Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons.

Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.

An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.

Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

Use the unbalanced equation NH3+O2=NO+H2O to find the mole ratio between NO and H2O
Leona [35]

Answer:

For every 4 moles of NO created, 6 moles of H2O are created so the ratio is 4:6

Explanation:

You just need to balance the equation.

NH3 + O2 -> NO + H2O

1. I started with hydrogen; there's 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply them together to find a number they both go into (3×2=6, but in this case 6 hydrogen on each side does not work so I doubled it so there is 12 hydrogen on each side).

This will bring you to this:

4NH3 + O2 -> NO + 6H2O

2. Now get equal amounts of nitrogen on each side. There's 4 nitrogen on the left side, and 1 on the right. Multiply the right by 4. Then you will have this:

4NH3 + O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

3. Last thing you need to do is have the same amount of oxygen on both sides. On the left you have 2 and on the right you have 10. Get the left to 10 by multiplying it by 5.

Balanced: 4NH3 + 5O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

In word form, for every reaction between 4 moles of ammonia and 5 moles of oxygen, 4 moles of nitric oxide and 6 moles of water will be created.

I hope this helps!

Question 20 (1 point)
romanna [79]

Answer:

A. The ratio of the element in glucose is different than in ethanol

Explanation:

The compounds given are;

      Glucose      C₆H₁₂O₆

     Ethanol         C₂H₆O

The two compounds given are different from one another. But they have the same elemental composition.

   Ethanol is made up of Carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen and so also, Glucose

Now,

  The number of atoms in both compounds are different;

                                   Number of atoms

                        C                             H                     O

Glucose           6                             12                      6

Ethanol            2                              6                       1

Compare the density of the ocean crust and the continental crust. If they were to collide, predict which one would push under th
uysha [10]

Answer:

The difference between the density of the ocean crust and the continental crust is the fact that the ocean crust is denser than the continental crust. Meaning, the continental crust is likely to push over the oceanic crust considering it has less dense.

I hope this helps, the last time I learned this was in 5th grade and I am i currently in the 11th grade....

What are three ways lakes can form?
quester [9]
Just choose 3

1) Lakes can form in hollows left by meteorite impacts (e.g. Clearwater Lakes, Quebec, Canada).

2) Lakes can form in the craters formed by volcanoes (e.g. Crater Lake, Oragon)

3) Lakes can form when a river is damed by a natural rock fall or man (e.g. Lake Mede)

4) Lakes can form where glaciers have scooped out the rock from the floor of a valley (e.g. Lake Geneva)

5) Lakes can form where block faulting lowers the land (e.g. lake Baikal)

6) lakes can form in natural depressions in the land (e.g. Lake Victoria)

What is the molarity of a solution made by adding 0.720 mole of NaOH to 2.40 liters of water
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.3 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of NaOH = 0.720 mol

Volume of water = 2.40 L

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Molarity = 0.720 mol / 2.40 L

Molarity = 0.3 mol/L

Molarity = 0.3 M
