The subatomic particles that identifies an element and also represents its atomic number would be A. The number of protons.

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.

What is the net ionic equation for 2AgNO3 + 2NaOH = Ag2O + 2NaNO3 + H2O
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)

Explanation:

Step 1: RxN

2AgNO₃ + 2NaOH → Ag₂O + 2NaNO₃ + H₂O

Step 2: Define states of matter

2AgNO₃ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 3: Total Ionic Equation

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 4: Cancel out spectator ions

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)

Blank + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2NaCl
crimeas [40]

The blank is filled by Na₂SO₄, and the complete equation for the double displacement reaction is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

<h3>What is a double displacement reaction?</h3>

It is a reaction in which both reactants exchange anions and cations.

Let's consider the following incomplete double displacement reaction.

_____ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

If we compare the left and right sides, we can see that the missing ions in the left side are Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻. Thus, the missing compound is Na₂SO₄. The complete equation is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col
leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.
