Answer:

8

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.

The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.

From the options given above, :

Atomic number of 8 :

Configuration : 2, 6

Atomic number of 10 :

Configuration : 2, 8

Atomic number of 12 :

Configuration : 2, 8, 2

Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.

Lithium nitride reacts with water to produce ammonia and lithium hydroxide according to the equation, Li3N(s) + 3H2O (L) -->
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

0.480 grams

Explanation:

Li₃N(s) + 3D₂O (L) --------------------------> ND₃(g) + 3LiOD (aq)

1             :  3                                            : 1           :  3

Number of moles (n) = Mass in gram/ Molar Mass

Mass of ND₃ = 160 mg

                     = 0.16 g

Molar mass of ND₃=  [14 + (3 x 2.014 )]

                               =    14 + 6.042

                               =  20.042 g/mol

Number of moles of   ND₃  =  0.16/20.042

                                             =  0.007983 moles

From the reaction equation, the mole ratio between   Heavy water (D₂O ) and  ND₃ is  3: 1.

This implies that the number of moles of   Heavy water (D₂O )  required

= 3  x 0.007983 moles

=  0.023949 moles

Molar mass of  Heavy water (D₂O )=  [(2.014 x 2) + 16]

                                                           =  20.028 g/mol

Mass in grams of Heavy water (D₂O )= Number of moles  x Molar mass

                                                            =   0.023949   x  20.028

                                                            =  0.4797 grams

                                                            ≈ 0.480 grams

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

22.5moles

Explanation:

using mole ratio,n(CO2)/n(o)=1/2

n(CO2)=1/2n(02)

n(CO2)=1/2×45

moles of carbon dioxide produced is 22.5moles

10) The presence of nitrates in soil can be shown by warming the soil with
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

ammonia

Explanation:

Nitrogen fertilizers contain N in the forms of ammonium, nitrate and urea. Upon application to the soil, urea-N rapidly hydrolyzes to ammonia, thus it shares similar characteristics as ammonia-based N fertilizers.

I think I would agree on horses, just because you can take them for lessons, ride them treat them like a pet. Donkeys you can’t ride but you can have as a pet. Horses you can make money off, like races, but aren’t influenced. You can rent out horses to people that don’t have anywhere to place them.
