<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is number of protons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons that are present in an atom.  It is represented by the symbol 'Z'.

Atomic number = number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.  It is represented by the symbol 'A'.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutron

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Every element has a unique number known as atomic number. This number is identified by the number of protons that are present in an atom.

Hence, the correct answer is number of protons.

the atomic number determines the tyoe of element an atom is.

the atomic number means the number of protons in an atom.

atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons and different atomic numbers so you can identify the element based on the atomic number

The average speed of oxygen molecules in air is about ____. (1 point) 0 km/h 170 km/h 1700 km/h 17,000 km/h
LenKa [72]

The average speed is calculated using the following formulaspeed = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m} }


Where

k = 1.381 X  10^{-23} J / K

T = 298 K [room temperature]

m = mass of each molecule of oxygen

mass of one mole of oxygen molecules = 32 g / mol

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = \frac{32}{6.023 X 10^{23} }

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = 5.31 X 10^{-23} g = 5.31 X 10^{-26} kg

putting values

average speed = \sqrt{\frac{3 X 1.381 X  10^{-23} X 298}{5.31 X 10^{-26} kg} }

Average speed = 482.19 m / s

average speed = 1735.8 km / h

so approx = 1700 km/h

The volume of a fixed amount of gas is doubled, and the absolute temperature is doubled. According to the ideal gas law, how has
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Option A. It has stayed the same.

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we assumed:

Initial volume (V₁) = V

Initial temperature (T₁) = T

Initial pressure (P₁) = P

From the question given above, the following data were:

Final volume (V₂) = 2V

Final temperature (T₂) = 2T

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

PV/T = P₂ × 2V / 2T

Cross multiply

P₂ × 2V × T = PV × 2T

Divide both side by 2V × T

P₂ = PV × 2T / 2V × T

P₂ = P

Thus, the final pressure is the same as the initial pressure.

Option A gives the correct answer to the question.

g Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.71 g of ethane i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

6.05g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Ethane + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the reaction above;

2 mol of ethane reacts with 7 mol of oxygen.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

2,71g of ethane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 2.71 / 30 = 0.0903 mol

3.8g of oxygen;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 3.8 / 16 = 0.2375 mol

If 0.0903 moles of ethane was used, it would require;

2 = 7

0.0903 = x

x = 0.31605 mol of oxygen needed

This means that oxygen is our limiting reagent.

From the reaction,

7 mol of oxygen yields 4 mol of carbon dioxide

0.2375 yields x?

7 = 4

0.2375 = x

x = 0.1357

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.1357 * 44 = 6.05g
