Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons carry positive charge, electrons carry negative charge and neutrons does not carry any charge.

Any neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion is formed when atom looses or gain electron.

If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and form an anion.
If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and forms a cation.

Thus, an ionized atom will always have unequal number of protons and electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.

Glucose (C6H12O6) can be fermented to yield ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2). C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2 The molar mass o

jekas [21]

Answer:

The % yield is 74.45 %

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2

Step 2: Data given

Molar mass glucose = 180.15 g/mol

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 61.5 grams

Mass of ethanol = 23.4 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles of glucose

Moles glucose = Mass glucose / Molar mass of glucose

Moles glucose = 61.5 grams / 180.15 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of ethanol

1 mole of glucose consumed, produces 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of CO2

0.341 moles of glucose, will produce 2*0.341 = 0.682 moles of ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass of ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * Molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.682 moles * 46.08 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 31.43 grams = theoretical mass

Step 6: Calculate % yield

% yield = actual mass / theoretical mass

% yield = (23.4 grams / 31.43 grams) * 100%

% yield = 74.45 %

The % yield is 74.45 %

1.) Which of the following is an example of using creativity while doing background research?

adoni [48]

1) Answer is: D. Writing a hypothesis.

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations.

Steps of the scientific method:

1) ask a question about something that is observed.

2) do background research.

3) construct a hypothesis, an attempt to answer questions with an explanation that can be tested.

4) test of hypothesis.

5) analyze collected data and draw a conclusion.

2) Answer is: A. Carbon and oxygen are chemically bonded in it.

A compound (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means.

A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) are inorganic compounds with covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen.

3) Answer is: B. Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter.

A single substance can be used to make a mixture if the substance is composed of more than one element is not correct, because mixture is composed of at least two substances. For example mixture of water and alcohol ethanol.

There is a definite recipe to make each mixture, so the composition of a mixture is set is not correct, because composition of mixture can vary.

Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter is correct, for example mixture of salt (solid) and water (liquid).
