$^{16}_{\phantom{1}8}\text{O}$ .

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.

Atomic number: 8.
Mass number: 16.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.

The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.

There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.

The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.

The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.

29.47 mL of a solution of the acid HBr is titrated, and 72.90 mL of 0.2500-M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point. Ca

Klio2033 [76]

The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 $\times$ 10^-4 mol / L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume

HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O

There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.

Moles of NaOH = 72.90 $\times$ 10^-3 $\times$ 0.25

= 0.0182 mol.

[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution

= 0.0182 / 29.47

= 6.175 $\times$ 10^-4 mol / L.

Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture, or a pure substan

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: a. two substances present; two phases present : Heterogeneous mixture

b. two substances present; one phase present : Homogeneous mixture

c. one substance present; one phase present : pure substance.

d. one substance present; two phases present: Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

Mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Homogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Heterogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different. There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.
