The answer is C. There needs to be equal numbers of protons and electrons. If there are more or less electrons then the atom is no longer neutral!
The number of electrons will equal the number of protons In a neutral atom and the number of protons is the atomic number.
The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.
Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³
a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins
Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>
b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>
PH + pOH = 14
pOH=14-8=4
(OH-)=10^-4
