Answer:

The amount of charge on a single proton is equal to the amount of charge possessed by a single electron. A proton and an electron have an equal amount but an opposite type of charge. Thus, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral.

Which equipment would help you separate a liquid mixture by distillation?

anzhelika [568]

Distillation is a process in many laboratories for the purpose of separating and/or purifying components of a liquid mixture. The distillation apparatus used consists of three major parts: distillation flask - to heat the mixture and volatilize the components, a condenser to cool the vapors back to liquid state, and a collection vessel. The apparatus is typically made of glass and therefore subject to breakage. All components of the distillation apparatus should be protected to a stable stand or rack to avoid it from falling over.
