3 0

Answer:

i would say 10, so the anser is A.

Explanation:

because there are the same number of protons and electrons, therefore for a regular O, you are supposed to have only 8 protons, but it is charged, thus, whatever the charge is will be taken into consideration into how much the proton and electron doe it have. Thus, for this case, it has 10, because the charge is negative and you have 8 electron plus 2 = 10.

Which one of the following statements about mixtures is correct [2] [3] The different substances in a mixture are always in a de

aivan3 [116]

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as a substance that contains two or more different substance that are physically mixed with each other.

If solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent then it is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

If solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement a mixture must contain at least two different substances, is correct about mixtures.

What is the molar mass of just the O in CO2?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

16 g/mol

Explanation:

In CO2, it means we have 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen.

However, we want to find the molar mass of just a single mole of oxygen.

Now, from tables of values of elements in electronic configuration, the molar mass of oxygen is usually approximately 16 g/mol.

In essence the molar mass is simply the atomic mass in g/mol
