Explain how calcium, ca2+, and phosphate,po43−, can make a compound with electroneutrality

1 answer:

5 0

Calcium, a group 2 element, naturally loses two electrons in order to become electronically stable. PO43- naturally gains 3 electrons to become more electronically stable. In order to bond with electroneutrality, it is necessary for the ions to bond to create a molecule with 3 Ca2+ ions and 2 PO43- ions, since 3 Calcium ions have a charge of 6+ and 2 phosphate ions have a net charge of 6-. This creates a molecular net charge of 0.

How many formula units are contained in 0.57 g Cao?

joja [24]

Then you will multiply the number of moles by 6.022×1023formula units/mol . To determine the molar mass of a compound, add the atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol times each element's subscript. Since the formula unit CaO has no subscripts, they are understood to be 1

A chemist heats the block of copper as shown in the interactive, then places the metal sample in a cup of oil at 25.00 °C instea

Mazyrski [523]

When the oil is added to the heated copper, the energy in the system is

conserved.

The mass of the oil in the cup, is approximately 64.73 grams.

Reasons:

The question parameters are;

Temperature of the oil in the cup = 25.00°C

Final temperature of the oil and copper, T₂ = 27.33 °C

Specific heat of copper, c₂ = 0.387 J/(g·°C)

Specific heat capacity of oil, c₁ = 1.74 J/(g·°C)

Required:

The mass of oil in the cup.

Solution:

The mass of the copper, m₂ = 17.920 g

Temperature of copper after heating, T₂ = 65.17°C

Temperature of the copper after being placed in the cup of oil, T₂ = 27.33°C

Heat lost by copper = Heat gained by the oil

m₂·c₂·(T₂ - T₃) = m₁·c₁·(T₃ - T₁)

Therefore, we get;

17.920 × 0.387 × (65.17 - 27.33) = m₁ × 1.74 × (27.33 - 25)

262.4219136 = 4.0542·m₁

m₁ ≈ 64.73

The mass of the oil in the cup, m₁ ≈ 64.73 g

What does it mean for energy to be conserved

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: It means that the energy is being stored or preserved to be used at a later time.

Your question was a little vague, so if this isn't the answer you were looking for, just let me know and I'll fix it.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :D

Given the DNA template strand 3\' AACAGACAG 5\', write the amino acid sequence in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction. Use th

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: The amino acid sequence is Leu-Ser-Val

Explanation: To produce amino acids, the DNA has to "transform" itself into a RNA by a process called Transcription. In this process, part of the DNA is transcribed into a similar RNA. The RNA produced undergoes another process, called Translation. From it, the sequence is decoded to a specific polypetide, as shown in this case. In the Translation, each 3 bases corresnpond to 1 amino acid. Because of it, the sequence above has 3 amino acids.

The N-terminal and C-terminal relates to the part where the sequence start to be read and the end of the process. Normally, the sequence starts at the 5', which correspond to the N-terminal and finishes at the 3', which matches the C-terminal. So in this example, the DNA template read 5\'GACAGACAA 3\'.

In at least 4 complete sentences, describe the similarities and differences between Avogadro's Law and Charles' Law.

viktelen [127]

answer

Avogadro's law states that, at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present. In other words, equal volumes of gases at the same pressure and temperature contain the same number of molecules - this is true regardless of their physical properties or chemical nature.

This number of molecules is

6.022

⋅

and is known as Avogadro's number,

Matematically, Avogadro's law can be written like this

, or, better yet,

Avogadro's law, as well as Boyle's law and Charles' law, are special cases of the ideal gas law,

. If temperature and pressure are kept constant, and knowing that

is of course constant, then

→

, which represents Avogadro's law.

The ideal gas law can also be written to incorporate

, since the number of moles are actually the number of molecules divided by Avogadro's number

⋅

, where

represents the number of molecules.
