The right answer is 2.

The number of protons contained in a nucleus (called an atomic number) is characteristic of a chemical element. For a given atomic number, the number of neutrons defines different "types" of this element: isotopes. The variation of the number of protons of the nucleus of an atom, during a nuclear reaction for example, causes a change of the element studied.

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom means the total number of protons and atom contains. Each atom or element has different number of protons.

For example, atomic number of nitrogen is 7 whereas atomic number of sodium is 11.  

This also means that in a nitrogen atom there are 7 protons and in a sodium atom there are 11 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that the property number of protons in the atomic nucleus is the best one to use for identification of an element.

Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.175 mol of zncl2 n exactly 150 ml of solution.
scoray [572]
Molarity = mol/L

0.175 mol
0.15 L (1000 mL = 1 L)

Molarity = 0.175 mol/0.15 L = 1.1666667 M

Molecule of water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass. This is a statement of __________.A) the law of multiple
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

The ratio of masses are given as:

2\times 1 g/mol: 1\times 16 g/mol= 1 : 8

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .

The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'

Whereas :

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

A compound contains nitrogen and a metal. This compound goes through a combustion reaction such that compound X is produced from
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide

Explanation:

Combustion of compound of containing nitrogen and metal will give nitrogen  dioxide and metal oxide as product. During combustion reaction a compound reacts with oxygen in order to yield oxides of elements present in the compound.

The general equation is given as:

4M_3N_x+7xO_2\rightarrow 4xNO_2+6M_2O_x

Hence, the correct answer is :X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide.

What is measured by the reaction rate? the probability that a reaction will occur the speed at which products form the time requ
Cloud [144]

Answer: the speed at which products form

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit time or the concentration of a product that is formed in a unit of time.

For a general reaction :A\rightarrow B

Rate=-\frac{d[A]}{dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[B]}{dt}

where d[A] = change in concentration of reactant A

d[B] = change in concentration of product B

dt = time interval
