Answer : The correct option is, Electron.

Explanation :

There are three subatomic particles of an atom which are electrons, protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral (no charge).

A neutral atom is an atom that has same number of electrons and protons.  When a neutral atom gain an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion.  When a neutral atom lose an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion. That means the atom change when the electron is lost or gained.

Hence, if the atom undergoes a change and becomes a positive ion, in this process the lost subatomic particle is electron.

Electrons are lost because they have a negative charge. neutrons are neutral meaning no charge and protons have a positive charge

What is the amount of solute required if the solution is 50 ml and the solvent is 35 ml. Solve and explain
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

15 mL of the solute

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution is simply defined as:

Solution = solute + solvent

With the above formula, we can easily obtain the solute in the solution as follow:

Solution = 50 mL

Solvent = 35 mL

Solute =?

Solution = solute + solvent.

50 = solute + 35

Collect like terms

50 – 35 = solute

15 = solute

Solute = 15 mL

Therefore, 15 mL of the solute is required.
