Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.
Answer:
0.38
Explanation:
As you go from 0 % hexane (χ = 0) to 100 % hexane (χ = 1), the refractive index decreases from 1.407 to 1.375, a decrease of 0.032.
From 1.407 to 1.3948, the decrease is 0.0122
.
That is 0.0122/0.032 = 0.38 of the distance from χ = 0 to χ = 1.
The mole fraction of hexane is 0.38.
The diagram below is a plot of refractive index vs. the mole fraction of hexane. It shows that the refractive index drops to 1.3948 when χ = 0.38.
I think the answer is 2 mole of ions...sorry if I'm wrong, if you dont think it's right dont listen to me
To come up with the mass of the atom is you add the protons with the neutrons
so you have
60+89=149
