40 electrons
Explanation:
The N for silicon tetrachloride, SiCl₄ is 40 electrons. The needed electrons that would be used to complete the lewis structure of the compound is actually 40 electrons. This number of electron will help the compound attain a noble configuration.
- The compound SiCl₄ is a covalent one. Here, there is sharing of electrons between two atoms.
- In drawing the electron dot formula, one must take into account the Available electrons and the Needed electrons.
- The Available electrons are sum of the valence electrons that can be accessed for the bonding. Si has 4 valence electrons, Cl has 7 valence electrons this makes a total of 4 + 7(4 atoms of chlorine), 32 available electrons.
- But to make a complete octet like that of noble gases, each atom most have 8 complete outer most electrons. This is the needed number of electrons. Since there are 5 atoms i.e 4 atoms of chlorine and 1 atom of Silicon, the needed electrons will be 5x8 = 40 electrons.

Answer:
mole fraction of NaCl = 0.03145.
mole fraction of water = 0.9686.
Explanation:
- Mole fraction is an expression of the concentration of a solution or mixture.
- It is equal to the moles of one component divided by the total moles in the solution or mixture.
- The summation of mole fraction of all mixture components = 1.
mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles).
<em>no. of moles of NaCl = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.87 g)/(58.44 g/mol) = 0.1176 mol.
<em>no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass</em> = (65.2 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = <em>3.622 mol.</em>
<em></em>
∴ mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles) = (0.1176 mol)/(0.1176 mol + 3.622 mol) = 0.03145.
<em>∵ mole fraction of NaCl + mole fraction of water = 1.0.</em>
∴ mole fraction of water = 1.0 - mole fraction of NaCl = 1.0 - 0.03145 = 0.9686.
A material that allows heat/electricity to transfer is called a conductor.
Answer:
Explanation:
For the growth and flourishing of animals Aromatic amino acids are very important, but because of lack of shikimate these amino acids are not synthesized in animals pathway.But this pathway is found in both plants and micro organisms and they have the ability to produce these amino acids as well as some secondary metabolites required in animals.
There are different role played by this pathway in organisms such as;
1) It serve as a source of Tryptophan and phenylalanie which are important aromatic amino acid.
2)Neuroactive substances such as serotonin,epinephrine are biosynthesized as result of the product from the pathway.
3)Alkaloids that's found in plants as well as antibiotics possessed by microbes, which are essential therapeutical in animals are secondary metabolites that is biosynthesized as a result of the activities of this product of this pathway.
4)Shikimate is useful in the synthesizing of 6-Fluoroshikimic acid.
5) The shikimate pathway is important for the synthesis of a plethora of aromatic compounds in both plants and bacteria as well as fungi.
