Answer:

An atoms identity is defined by it's number of protons.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not define the identity of an atom, protons do. An element is defined by it's atomic number, Z, which is also the number of protons in an atom of that element.

Answer:

It is not possible to accurately identify an element given only the number of neutrons. All atoms are made of three particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons if the atom is uncharged.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The mass of coke needed to react completely with 1.0 ton of copper(II) oxide is 0.794 Ton.

Explanation:

$2CuO+C\rightarrow 2Cu+CO_2$

1 Ton = 907185 grams

Mass of copper oxide = 1.0 Ton = 907185 grams

Moles of copper oxide = $\frac{907185 g}{79.55 g/mol}=11,403.95 moles$

According to reaction, 2 moles of copper oxide reacts with 1 mole of carbon.

Then 11403.95 moles of copper oxide will react with:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 11403.95 mol=5,701.98 mol$ of carbon

Mass of 5,701.98 moles of carbon:

$5,701.98 mol\times 12 g/mol=68,423.75 g$

Mass of coke = x

Mass of carbon = 68,423.75 g

Percentage of carbon in coke = 95%

$95\%=\frac{68,423.75 g}{x}\times 100$

$x=720,250.09 g=0.794 Ton$

The mass of coke needed to react completely with 1.0 ton of copper(II) oxide is 0.794 Ton.
