Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. so, answer D can be discarded because it is not what atoms are made of. 

40 and 18 represent the atomic mass and atomic number respectively. the atomic number presents the number of protons. so there are 18 protons. the number of neutrons can be determined by taking the atomic mass minus the atomic number. neutrons= 40-18= 22 neutrons.

so the answer is B

Answer A may be correct if we assume the atom is neutral. in a neutral atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. but the electrons are not in the nucleus but orbiting it. the question specified the nucleus.

when a compound containing c h and o is completely combusted in air what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the rea
Arada [10]

When a compound containing C, H and O is completely combusted in air what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the reaction is Oxygen.

<h3>What is hydrocarbon?</h3>

A hydrocarbon is an organic molecule composed completely of hydrogen and carbon in organic chemistry. Group 14 hydrides include hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are often colourless and hydrophobic, with scents that are weak or exemplified by gasoline and lighter fluid. They exist in a wide range of molecular forms and phases, including gases (like methane and propane), liquids (like hexane and benzene), low melting solids (like paraffin wax and naphthalene), and polymers (such as polyethylene and polystyrene). Hydrocarbon refers to naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas, and coal, as well as their hydrocarbon derivatives and refined forms, in the fossil fuel industry. The primary source of energy on the planet is the combustion of hydrocarbons.

If 3.50 g of the unknown compound contained 0.117 mol of c and 0.233 mol of h, how many moles of oxygen, o, were in the sample?
makvit [3.9K]
To determine the amount of oxygen that is present in the compound, we have to assume that the given compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only or else we will not be able to determine the answer. We need to convert the moles of the elements given to units of grams by using the atomic mass of these elements. Then, from the total amount of the compound we subtract the masses of the elements. We do as follows:

                                                             mass
0.117 mol C ( 12.01 g / 1 mol ) =        1.41 g  
0.233 mol H ( 1.01 g / 1 mol )   =        0.24 g

Mass O = 3.50 g - 1.41 g - 0.24 g = 1.85 g O
Moles O = 1.85 g O ( 1 mol / 16 g ) = 0.116 moles O
