This structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons

We employ the octet rule, which states that all atoms in a compound are expected to follow, to check the accuracy of any chemical structure. The octet rule is precisely satisfied for each atom in the depicted structure of carbon IV oxide. The valence shell of each atom in the molecule is surrounded by eight electrons. We may thus infer that this structure is accurate given the total number of bonds and electrons since CO2 has sixteen valence electrons.

It possesses a negative charge of 1.602176634 coulombs, the basic unit of electric charge, which is comparable to its negative charge. The rest mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 10^-31 kg, or just 1/1,836 the mass of a proton. An electron is therefore considered to have practically negligible mass in comparison to a proton or neutron, and its matter is not taken into consideration when calculating an atom's mass number.

Answer:

The correct option is <em>A) The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of dark moths will rise.</em>

Explanation:

As we can see, the colour of the trees do not match with the light moths. Instead, the colour of the trees resembles the dark moths. This adaptation will work best for the dark moths to protect it from its predators. The light moths lack this adaptation and can easily be attacked by the predators. Hence, the population of the dark moth will increase as they are better adapted to live in such an environment.

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

The nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte testosterone, C19H28O2 (288.40 g/mol), is soluble in benzene C6H6. Calculate the osmotic pressur

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

3.824 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation

P = mRT/MW × V

m is mass of testosterone = 12.9 g

R is gas constant = 82.057 cm^3.atm/mol.K

T is temperature of benzene solution = 298 K

MW is molecular weight of testosterone = 288.40 g/mol

V is volume of benzene solution = 286 ml = 286 cm^3

P = 12.9×82.057×298/288.4×286 = 3.824 atm
