The image shows information about the element carbon as it appears in the periodic table. Based on the image, which statement is accurate? A. A carbon atom has two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons. B. A carbon atom has three protons, six neutrons, and three electrons. C. A carbon atom has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. D. A carbon atom has four protons, four neutrons, and four electrons.

C. A carbon atom has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons.

Explanation:

Carbon has a relative atomic mass of 12 and an atomic number of 6. We must recall that the atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in that atom. The atomic number is also the same as the number of electrons in the neutral atom of that element.

To ensure electrical neutrality of the atom, the number of protons in the atom must be equal to the number of electrons in the atom.

The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons present in the atom. Since carbon has a mass number of 12, then there must be six neutrons present in the atom.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
