Answer:

OB. six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons

Explanation:

Atoms of carbon - 14: Carbon -12

Protons = 6 6

Neutrons = 8 6

Electrons = 6 6

An atom of carbon-12 will have an equal number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons. The two give species are isotopes.

Isotopes of an elements have the same number of protons, electrons but only differs in the number of neutrons.
Isotopes have different masses due to the number of neutrons they posses.

Therefore, the two isotopes will differ in the number of neutrons they have.

Answer:

B. six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons

Explanation:

Carbon-14 and Carbon-12 are the isotopes of carbon.

Isotope:

An atom of an element that contain same atomic number but different atomic mass.

The difference in atomic mass is due to the different number of neutrons present, but the number protons and electrons are remain same.

In C-14 there are six protons and six electrons while number of neutrons are,

Mass number - number of protons = number of neutrons

14- 6 = 8

In C-12 there are six protons and six electrons while number of neutrons are,

Mass number - number of protons = number of neutrons

12- 6 = 6

Thus in C-12, there are six protons, six neutrons and six electrons present.

A 1.50 liter flask at a temperature of 25°C contains a mixture of 0.158 moles of methane, 0.09 moles of ethane, and 0.044 moles

RUDIKE [14]

This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:

P = P1 + P2 + P3
P = (82.0575 atm.cm^3/mol.K)( 298.15 K)/1.50 x 10^3 cm^3) x (<span>0.158 mole + 0.09 mol + 0.044 mol) = 4.76 atm</span>

A compound has an empirical formula of C2H6. What additional piece of evidence is needed to determine the molecular formula?

iragen [17]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The additional piece of information needed to determine the molecular formula would be percent composition of carbon. A molecular formula is <span>a formula that gives the number of atoms of each of the elements present in one molecule of a specific compound.</span>

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The synthesis of p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid with the reagents for each step and the structure of the monosubstituted intermediate compound is shown in the drawing below.

Explanation:

Benzenesulfonic acid is obtained from the sulfonation of benzene, using concentrated smoking sulfuric acid.

Chlorination of benzenesulfonic acid with chlorine without catalyst requires a polar solvent, such as acetic acid to obtain the selectivity in the position for and the ortho derivative in a low proportion.
