Answer: The number of protons plus the number of neutrons equals the atomic mass.
Explanation:
Atomic mass is defined as total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
It is an average mass of an atom.
It is expressed in atomic mass unit that is a.m.u.
It is denoted with symbol 'A'.

<span>Given mass: 3.810 g of h2o and 13.96 g of co2.
Mass of CO2 : 13.96 g
moles of CO2 : 0.317 moles / 44.0098
moles of C : 0.317 moles
Mass of water = 3.81 g
moles of water = 0.212 moles / 18.015
moles of H = 0.423 moles X2
Hence the molar ratio C : H is 0.317 : 0.423
= 1.000 : 1.334
Multiplying by 3 on both ratios we get: 3.000 : 4.003
Therefore the empirical formula is C3H4</span>
D. is the missing element.
Carlos <em>hasn’t done research</em> on what other scientists have observed and investigated on this topic. If he hasn’t done his literature research, he may just be repeating the experiments of other scientists working in the same area.
Options “A.”, “B.”, and “C.” are all part of the scientific method.
