Answer is: b. mass number; atomic number.

The superscript is mass number and the subscript is atomic number.

Atomic number(Z) is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element..

Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Helium (symbol: He) is a chemical element with two protons, two electrons and two neutrons.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Mass number means the total number of protons and total number of neutrons present in an atom. Mass number is written at the top left of the symbol of atom.

Whereas atomic number means the total number of protons present in the atom. Atomic number is written at the bottom left of the symbol of atom.

For example, in $^{12}_{6}C$ , the number 12 denotes mass number of carbon atom whereas 6 denotes the atomic number of carbon atom.

Thus, we can conclude that in the symbol $^{4}_{2}He$ , the superscript 4 is the mass number for helium and the subscript 2 is the atomic number for helium.

Reaction is

-Dominant- [34]

According to the task, you are proveded with patial pressure of CO2 and graphite, and here is complete solution for the task :
At first you have to find n1 =moles of CO2 and n2 which are moles of C
<span>The you go :
</span> $CO2(g) + C(s) \ \textless \ =\ \textgreater \ 2CO(g)$

n1 n2 0
-x -x +2x
$n1-x n2-x 2x Kp=P^2 (CO)/Pco2$
After that you have to use the formula $PV=nRT$
$Kp=(2x)^2/n1-x$
Then you have to solve x, and for that you have to use <span>RT/V
And to find total values:</span> $P(total)=n(total)*R*T/V$
I am absolutely sure that this would be helpful for you.

How does a battery become depleted or out of charge? * -the number of protons and electrons at both terminals are not equal -the

kompoz [17]

Answer:

the number of protons and neutrons at both terminals are equal

Explanation:

When the number of positive charge and negative charge are both equally the terminal, it becomes neutral and out of charge, because first it undergo enough chemical reaction and there is no remaining tendency for positive and negative charges to get separated. When this tendency dies, the battery also will run out of charge.
