Answer:  a. the number of protons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when electrons are lost, the atom gains a positive charge and forms cation. In an atom, when electrons are gained, the atom occupies a negative charge and forms anion.

Hence, neutrons and protons affects the mass number and electrons affects the charge on an atom. The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.

One litre of hydrogen at STP weight 0.09gm of 2 litre of gas at STP weight 2.880gm. Calculate the vapour density and molecular w
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

we know, at STP ( standard temperature and pressure).

we know, volume of 1 mole of gas = 22.4L

weight of 1 Litre of hydrogen gas = 0.09g

so, weight of 22.4 litres of hydrogen gas = 22.4 × 0.09 = 2.016g ≈ 2g = molecular weight of hydrogen gas.

similarly,

weight of 2L of a gas = 2.88gm

so, weight of 22.4 L of the gas = 2.88 × 22.4/2 = 2.88 × 11.2 = 32.256g

hence, molecular weight of the gas = 32.256g

vapor density = molecular weight/2

= 32.256/2 = 16.128g

hence, vapor density of the gas is 16.128g.

Two plates slide past each other in opposite directions at a ____ boundary.
Kitty [74]

Answer: plate

Explanation: Plates grinding past each other in opposite directions create faults called transform faults. Powerful earthquakes often strike along these boundaries. The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary that separates the North American Plate from the Pacific Plate.

What separates the charges in a cell?
erica [24]

Answer:

Atoms start out with the same number of negative charges (electrons), and positive charges (protons). ... Conversely, adding electrons to an atom would result in a negative ion. If you do this enough times, you can make an object positive or negative. Friction is one of the ways to separate charge.

If 60g of rust (Fe2O₁) are made in the reaction below, how many Liters of oxygen must be used?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

18.

Explanation:

1) according to the reaction (M(Fe)=56; M(O₂)=32; V₀=22.4):

4Fe+3O₂⇒2Fe₂O₃; - ν(O₂)=0.75*ν(Fe);

2) ν(Fe)=m(Fe)/M(Fe)=60/56≈1.071 [mol];

3) ν(O₂)=0.75*1.071=0.804 [mol];

4) V(O₂)=V₀*ν(O₂); ⇒ V(O₂)=22.4*0.804=18 [lit].
