<span>Answer: option (4) the same magnitude and the opposite sign.
</span>
Justification:
<span /><span /><span>
</span><span>1) Electrons are negative particles thar are around the nucleus of the atom (in regions called orbitals).
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
2) Protons are positive particles that are inside the nuclus of the atom.
</span><span />
<span>3) The nucleus of the atom has the same number of protons as electrons are in the orbitals of the atom.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.</span>
Answer:
D. 15g
Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that, in a chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that the amount of matter in the elements of the reactants must be equal to the amount in the resulting products.
In this question, 25 grams of a reactant AB, was broken down in a reaction to produce 10 grams of products A and X grams of product B. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactant must be equal to the total mass of the products. This means that 25 grams must also be the total mass of both products in this reaction. Hence, if product A is 10 grams, product B will be 25 grams - 10 grams = 15 grams.
Therefore, product B must be 15 grams in order to form a total of 25 grams when added to the mass of product A. This will equate the mass of the reactant AB and fulfill the law of conservation of mass.
