Answer:

the membrane forms an outer boundary of the cell and, as such, holds the cell together. The membrane is also pliable, which means it can move and flex in response to the surrounding environment. The fluid nature of the membrane is important because it allows the cell to survive in various environments.

Determine the percent composition of Lithium in Li3PO3 (lower case BOTH 3)

zepelin [54]

Answer:

A. 20.866%

Explanation:

First, we calculate molar mass of Li3PO3

Molar mass of Li3PO3 = 6.9 (3) + 31 + 16(3)

= 20.7 + 31 + 48

= 99.7g/mol

To calculate the percent composition of Lithium, we say:

Mass of lithium in compound/mass of compound × 100

% composition = 20.7/99.7 × 100

= 0.208 × 100

= 20.8%.

What is the net cell reaction for the cobalt-silver voltaic cell? express your answer as a chemical equation?

slava [35]

Answer: The net ionic equation for the cobalt-silver voltaic cell is $Co(s)+3Ag^+(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{3+}(aq.)+3Ag(s)$

Explanation: In cobalt-silver voltaic cell, one half of the cell consists of cobalt electrode immersed in $Co(NO_3)_3$ solution ( which means that $Co^{3+}$ are present in the solution) and other half of the cell consists of the Ag electrode immersed in $AgNO_3$ solution ( which means that $Ag^+$ is present in the solution)

The two electrodes are joined by the copper wire. The cobalt electrode acts as an anode and the silver electrode acts a cathode.

At anode, oxidation reaction takes place and at cathode, reduction reaction takes place.

At Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-$

At Cathode: $[Ag^+(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)]\times 3$

Net ionic equation: $Co(s)+3Ag^+(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{3+}(aq.)+3Ag(s)$

What is the energy of light associated with a transition from n=3 to n=8 in a hydrogen atom? Does this represent absorption or e

solong [7]

Explanation:

Energy levels to be n = 8 and n = 3. Rydberg's equation will allow you calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted by the electron during this transition

1λ = R ⋅ (1/nf^2 − 1/ni^2)

where,

λ - the wavelength of the emitted photon

R - Rydberg's constant = 1.0974 x 10^7m

nf - the final energy = 8

ni - the initial energy level = 3

1/λ = 1.0974 x 10^7 * (1/8^2 − 1/3^2)

= -1.05x 10^6 m.

Using Heinsberg's equation,

E = (h * c)/λ

Calculating the energy of this transition you'll have to multiply Rydberg's equation by h * c

where,

h - Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10^−34 Js

c - the speed of light = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

So, the transition energy, E = (6.626 x 10^−34 * 3 x 10^8) * -1.05x 10^6

= -2.08 x 10^-19 J.

When an electron transitions from a less excited state to a excited state (higher energy orbit), the difference in energy is absorbed as a photon.

The energy is negative which means energy is lost or dissipated to the surroundings. Therefore, an absorption of photons.

Question 2 (5 points)

blagie [28]

The water in Glass A is cooler than the water in Glass B; therefore, the particles in Glass A move slower.

Option D

<h3>Chemical Reactions</h3>

Generally,the experiment shows that glass B temperature is higher than glass temperature A and this is given that observation that the solute dissolves faster in glass B than glass A.

Therefore,The water in Glass A is cooler than the water in Glass B; therefore, the particles in Glass A move slower.

A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 ˚C. Assuming constant pressure, what is its volume if it is heated to 132.0 ˚C?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

new volume is 1215mL

Explanation:

using Charles law , the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provide that pressure is kept constant.

$\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}$
