Answer:

The correct option is;

A) 1 to 1.

Explanation:

A stab;e nuclei requires the presence of a neutron to accommodate the the protons repulsion forces within the nucleus. An increase in the number of protons should be accompanied by an even more instantaneous increase in the number of neutrons to balance the forces in the nucleus. If there is an excess of neutrons or a deficit in protons a state of unbalance exists in the nucleus, which results to nuclear instability.

Therefore, the ratio of neutrons to protons is an appropriate way in foretelling nuclear stability and a stable nuclei is known to have a proton to neutron ratio of 1:1 and the number of protons and neutrons in the stable nuclei are usually even numbers.

The following equation is one way to prepare oxygen in a lab. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 Molar mass Info: MM O2 = 32 g/mol MM KCl = 74
Alex73 [517]
From  the  equation  above   the  reacting   ratio  of  KClO3   to  O2  is  2:3 therefore  the  number  of  moles  of  oxygen  produced  is  ( 4 x3)/2 =  6 moles  since   four  moles  of  KClO3  was  consumed
mass=relative  formula mass  x  number  of  moles
That  is   32g/mol x 6  moles  =192grams
