Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         15 = 7 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 15 - 7

                                               = 8

Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is  2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2

Let us express it as

SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\   \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1

Let us express it as

SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}

The required ratio is 2:1

Part A: You are given a beaker containing a solution of an enzyme that hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while it generate
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

1) magnesium chloride

2) b) The copper is getting oxidized from Cu+ to Cu2+ and turns blue.

Explanation:

The work published by David N. Frick, Sukalyani Banik, and Ryan S. Rypma in J Mol Biol. 2007 Jan 26; 365(4): 1017–1032 clearly shows that divalent metal ions of group 2 such as Mg^2+ play an important role in ATP hydrolysis. Addition of EDTA decreased the rate of hydrolysis of ATP (due to sequestration of the divalent ion of group 2) indicating an active participation of divalent ions in the process.

2) The copper I ion is colourless because it is a d^10 specie. However, when it is oxidized to Cu^2+, a blue colour appears in the solution.

A standard solution contained 0.8 mg/mL. A student took 2 mL of the standard solution and added 10 mL of water. What is the new/
galben [10]
To get the concentration of the second solution let us use the following formulae

C1V1=C2V2 where C1 is concentration of first solution and V1 is the volume of solution first solution. on the other hand C2 is the concentration of second solution and V2 is the volume of second solution.

therefore

0.8×2=(2+10)×C2
   1.6 =12×C2
1.6/12=C2
C2     = 0.1333mg/mL
