Identify the law that explains the following observation:
kirill [66]

Answer:

Proust's law of definite proportion

Explanation:

The law of constant proportion states that the components elements of a given chemical compound combine with each other in a fixed mass ratio when the compound is produced by any given process

Therefore, from the question, the chemical formula for Nitrogen Dioxide is NO₂, where the molar mass of nitrogen, N = 14

The molar mass of oxygen, O = 16

Given that one molecule of NO₂, contains one atom of nitrogen and two atoms of oxygen, one mole of NO₂ will contain 14 grams of nitrogen and 32 grams of oxygen, according to Proust's law of definite proportion.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of 43k (potassium-43)?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

             Number of Protons  =  19

             Number of Neutrons  =  25

             Number of Electrons  =  19

Explanation:

Number of Protons:

                               The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Potassium is 19 therefore, it contains 19 protons.

Number Neutrons:

                             The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,

                               # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of protons

As given,

                                Atomic Mass  =  43

                                # of Protons  =  19

So,

                                # of Neutrons  =  43 - 19

                                # of Neutrons  =  24

Number of Electrons:

                                   As we know for a neutral atom the number of electrons are exactly equal to the number of protons present in its nucleus. So, for 19 protons in neutral Potassium atom there must be 19 electrons.

Which term best describes an animal that eats dead and decaying meat? A. predator B. producer C. decomposer D. scavenger
marta [7]
These types of animals are referred to as D. scavengers.

Scavenger animals are adapted to feed on dead and decaying meat and usually feed on the carcasses left over by predatory animals. An example is how vultures pick off the meat from a zebra carcass that has been left over after a lion pack has finished eating from it.
