<span>When an electron, which is negatively charged, moves towards an electronegative atom, the electronegative atom pulls in the electron. This causes the electronegative atom to be reduced. This entire process also releases energy.</span>
To determine mass of the given number of atoms of mercury, we need a factor that would relate the number of atoms to number of moles. In this case, we use the Avogadro's number. It is a <span>number that represents the
number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x
10^23 units / mole. The number of units could be atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. To convert into mass, we use the given amu of mercury since it is equal to grams per mole. We calculate as follows:
</span>3.0 x 10^10 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms ) ( 200.59 g / 1 mol ) = 9.99x10^-12 g Hg
True. The building blocks of life are atoms
Answer : The ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside is, 296.2
Explanation :
The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs free energy is:
![\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln Q\\\\\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln (\frac{[A]_{inside}}{[A]_{outside}})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20G%5Eo%3D-RT%5Ctimes%20%5Cln%20Q%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CDelta%20G%5Eo%3D-RT%5Ctimes%20%5Cln%20%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D_%7Binside%7D%7D%7B%5BA%5D_%7Boutside%7D%7D%29)
where,
= standard Gibbs free energy = -14.1 kJ/mol
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol
T = temperature = 
Q = reaction quotient
![[A]_{inside}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D_%7Binside%7D)
= concentration inside the cell
![[A]_{outside}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D_%7Boutside%7D)
= concentration outside the cell
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
![-14.1\times 10^3J/mol =-(8.314J/K.mol)\times (298K)\times \ln (\frac{[A]_{inside}}{[A]_{outside}})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-14.1%5Ctimes%2010%5E3J%2Fmol%20%3D-%288.314J%2FK.mol%29%5Ctimes%20%28298K%29%5Ctimes%20%5Cln%20%28%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D_%7Binside%7D%7D%7B%5BA%5D_%7Boutside%7D%7D%29)
![\frac{[A]_{inside}}{[A]_{outside}}=296.2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5D_%7Binside%7D%7D%7B%5BA%5D_%7Boutside%7D%7D%3D296.2)
Thus, the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside is, 296.2
