<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 31.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

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

We are given:

Number of protons = 31

Mass number = 70

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 70 - 31 = 39

Atomic number will be equal to the number of protons present in an atom which is 31

Hence, the correct answer is 31.

Hello!

Atomic Number, is the number where the atom lays on the perodic table and can be found through the number of protons. Meaning that gallium has an atomic number of 31 !

Atomic weight, which is equal to 70 in this case, can be found by subtracting the atomic number from that total to find the remaining number of neutrons that make up the mass. So gallium has 31 protons and 39 protons.


Hope this helps answer your question.

The reaction, 2C4H10 (g) + 13O2 (g) à 8CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?
Solnce55 [7]
The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane.   A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

What do Arrhenius acids have in common? What do Arrhenius bases have in common? Explain neutralization in terms of the Arrhenius
OLEGan [10]

Besides producing hydrogen ions in water, all Arrhenius acids have a few things in common. They have pH values anywhere from 0 up to 7, they taste and smell sour and they will turn pH paper pink, red, or orange.

<h3>What Arrhenius acids?</h3>

A substance that raises the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution is known as an Arrhenius acid. Traditional Arrhenius acids are highly polarized covalent substances that dissociate in water to form an anion (A-) and the cation H+.

Aqueous Arrhenius acids have distinguishing characteristics that serve as a useful definition of an acid. Acids can turn blue litmus red, produce aqueous solutions with a sour taste, and react with bases and some metals (like calcium) to generate salts. The Latin word acidus/acre, which means "sour," is where the word acid originates.

Although the precise definition solely refers to the solute, the term "acid" is sometimes used to refer to an aqueous solution of an acid that has a pH lower than 8.
