C. 18.0g. all you really have to do is add both of them together and you get your answer.
Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

Answer: 11.5 moles of carbon
Explanation:
Based on Avogadro's law:
1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
So, 1 mole of carbon = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
Z moles = 6.93 x 10^24 atoms
To get the value of Z, cross multiply:
(6.93 x 10^24 atoms x 1mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x Z moles)
6.93 x 10^24 = (6.02 x 10^23 x Z)
Z = (6.93 x 10^24) ➗ (6.02 x 10^23)
Z = 1.15 x 10
Z = 11.5 moles
Thus, there are 11.5 moles of carbon.
The balanced chemical reaction:
<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.
9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3
The limiting reactant is AgNO3.
0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2
0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess
<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>
Yes becuase it says it maintains its velocity if it is moving or at rest
