Answer: b. the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

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

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Thus the mass number of an element is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

A postulate of the kinetic molecular theory is listed.
valina [46]

Answer:

Postulate: Gas particles are extremely small and are far apart.

The activities can be used to demonstrate the postulate is :

<u>Observing colored gas spreading into an inverted jar placed on top of a jar containing the gas</u>

<u />

Explanation:

colored gas spreading into an inverted jar placed on top of a jar containing the gas:

This occur because of two reasons:

1. <em><u>The Gaseous particles are largely spaced . There is large distance between the gases molecule</u></em>

<em><u>2. The gases are in continuous motion . Hence they posses very high kinetic energy . This is the reason they mixes quickly if placed in a jar.</u></em>

<em><u>This occur by the process of diffusion. </u></em>

Diffusion of Gases: The intermixing of particles from the region of high concentration to low concentration.

The coloured gas goes into the space between the gaseous molecule present in the jar.(Gases are far apart)

As soon as the coloured gas is mixed in the jar , It spread quickly by diffusion because , The gaseous particles are extremely small and are far apart.

How do I convert 0.43 atm to mmhg? (Question 2)
Dafna1 [17]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Because 1 atm is equal to 760mm Hg, you can use the following equation to find the correct atm measurement:

atm x 760

Simply plug the values given in:

0.43 x 760 = 326.8mm Hg
