Atomic number shows the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. If the atomic number is 30, then it has 30 protons. The question says it is neutral, so it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

A is the correct answer based on this.

What type of reaction provide energy within a red giant star?<br><br> and how come?
Dafna1 [17]
"A red giant is a star that has exhausted the primary supply of hydrogen fuel at its core. An average-sized star like our Sun will spend the final 10 percent of its life as a red giant. In this phase, a star's surface temperature drops to between 3,140 and 6,741°F (1,727 and 3,727°C) and its diameter expands to 10 to 1,000 times that of the Sun. The star takes on a reddish color, which is what gives it its name."

A 5 mole sample of liquid acetone is converted to a gas at 75.0°C. If 628 J are required to raise the temperature of the liquid
velikii [3]
The total energy required for this conversion is equivalent to the sum of the energies that are used. There are three steps:

1) Heating of liquid acetone
This used 628 J

2) Evaporation of acetone
This used 15.6 kJ or 15,600 J

3) Heating of acetone vapors
This used 712 J

Adding these quantities,

Total energy = 628 + 15,600 + 712

The total energy required was <span>16940 Joules of 16.94 kJ</span>
