Explanation:
Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.
A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.
Mass of the oxide = 100g
Mass of Mn = 63.2 g
Mass of O = 100 - 63.2
= 36.8 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8
= 1.72
Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.
Mass of oxide = 100 g
Mass of Mn = 77.5 g
Mass of O = 100 - 77.5
= 22.5 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5
= 3.44
Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.
B.
Oxide 1
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
Oxide 2
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
Answer:
Thx Have a Fantastic day :)
Explanation:
Answer:
24
Explanation:
The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.
Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges at all
Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.
So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.
Answer:
B) number of electrons
Explanation:
The two species:
K+ and Cl- have the same number of electrons.
A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons
A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons
Now,
To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18
To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18
So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18
