<u>Answer:</u> The element is Fluorine.

<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

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 9 = Atomic number

Number of electrons = 9

Number of neutrons = 10

Mass number = 9 + 10 = 19

The element having atomic number equal to 9 and mass number equal to 19 is fluorine.

Hence, the element is Fluorine.

The correct answer is C.  We know this is true since the number of protons an atom has is its atomic number.  Since this atom  has 9 protons, look for the element on the periodic table that has an atomic number of 9.  The element that has an atomic number of 9 is flouring.

I hope this helps.

How many equivalents are present in 10 g of Ca2+? <br> 1 <br> 0.5 <br> 1.5 <br> 2
Lynna [10]

0.5

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 10g

unknown:

Equivalent weight = ?

Solution:

Equivalent weight that is the amount of electrons which a substance gains or loses per mole.

Ca²⁺ has +3 charge

It lost 2e⁻;

therefore;

  In 1 mole of  Ca²⁺, we have 2 equivalent weight

1 mol  Ca²⁺ = 2eq. wts. 

1 mol Ca x (40 g / 1 mol ) x (1 mol / 2 eq.wts.) = 20.0 g = 1 eq.wt. 

Therefore;

10.0 g  Ca²⁺ x (1 eq.wt. / 20.0 g) = 0.5 eq.wts.

Which expression could represent the
Elis [28]
There are a couple of ways in which you can express the concentration of a solution, and here they are: gram per liter (g/L), molarity (M), parts per million (ppm.), and percents (%). 
As you can see, only M appears in your answers, which means that the correct option should be (2) 3.5 M.

Which substance has a mass is 13.5 grams, and its volume is 5 cm 3.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Substance is Aluminium

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 13.5 grams

Volume; V = 5 cm³

Formula for density is;

density = m/V

Density = 13.5/5

Density = 2.7 g/cm³

From the table attached, we can see that the element with a corresponding density of 2.7 is Aluminium
