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

After centrifugation of the sample, the student was not careful and some of the solid was transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask al
Tju [1.3M]

The fact that some of the solid was transferred would decrease the mass of the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

We know that in a chemical reaction, there are at least two substances that are combined in order to give the product of the reaction. We also know that the product that we obtain must be in accordance to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

It is common to see that one of the reactants would be present in a very large amount while the other reactant would be present only in quite a small amount. The reactant that is present in a small amount is said to be the limiting reactant while the one that is present in the large amount is said to be the reactant that is in excess.

Having said this, we know that the mass of the limiting reactant can be obtained from the mass of the solid that is obtained after the reaction.

If we do not take out all of the solid from the centrifuge, the mass would not be accurately weighed and the mass of the limiting reactant would not be accurately determined.

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?
e-lub [12.9K]
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
                                    ΔT = (kf)  x m 
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
                                   5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
                                  molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
                                       number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

A solution
timurjin [86]
The answer to your question is  C.  A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, so it couldn't have been A and D. Since a solution can't have its substances separated by a chemical means because they are chemically bonded, thus they are able to be separated by physical means
