Explanation:Explanation:

Your starting point here will be the ideal gas law equation

, where

P

- the pressure of the gas

V

- the volume it occupies

n

- the number of moles of gas

R

- the universal gas constant, usually given as

0.0821

atm

⋅

L

mol

⋅

K

T

- the absolute temperature of the gas

Now, you will have to manipulate this equation in order to find a relationship between the density of the gas,

ρ

, under those conditions for pressure and temperature, and its molar mass,

M

M

.

You know that the molar mass of a substance tells you the mass of exactly one mole of that substance. This means that for a given mass

m

of this gas, you can express its molar mass as the ratio between

m

and

n

, the number of moles it contains

Similarly, the density of the substance tells you the mass of exactly one unit of volume of that substance.

This means that for the mass

m

of this gas, you can express its density as the ratio between

m

and the volume it occupies

An isotope contains 26 protons, 24 electrons, and 32 neutrons
Anestetic [448]
The correct option is 58 Fe 2+.
A neutral atom normally has the same number of proton, neutron and electrons, if the number of electrons differ from that of proton, that means that the elements has given some electrons away or it has gained some electrons from another element.
In the question given above, the atomic number of the element is 26 [because the proton number is 26], which means the element is iron. Iron has 24 electrons because it has given two away, so it will have +2. The iron has 32 neutrons instead of 26 so it is an isotope.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?
LekaFEV [45]
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Explanation:

Equation 1 should correctly be written as;

2Cu2S + 3O2-----> 2Cu2O + 2SO2

Equation 2 should be correctly written as;

2Cu2O + 2C -----> 4Cu + 2CO

The overall reaction equation is;

2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO

Note that species that are intermediates are cancelled out .
