Answer:

The first thing you will need to do is find some information about your element. Go to the Periodic Table of Elements and click on your element. If it makes things easier, you can select your element from an alphabetical listing.

Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

For krypton:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48

Which statement is true regarding carbonic acid (H 2CO 3)? If body fluids are too alkaline, carbonic acid is excreted through th

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

the correct option is : If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is excreted through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Metabolic acidosis is compensated by two systems, the renal and respiratory systems.

In the case of the respiratory system, the mechanism it uses to compensate for this phenomenon is to release the carbonic acid molecule dissociated into its components, that is, in the form of water and carbon dioxide.

The greater the acidosis, the more hyperventilation the person will have, and this is because they seek to eliminate carbonic acid more efficiently and quickly, along with renal excision.

The metabolic acidosis generated by carbonic acid is lethal, since the proteins in our body are denatured and the homeostasis of all systems is corrupted.

All factors that cause an increase in the rate of dissolving have what in common?

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

They increase the attractive forces between the solute and solvent particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute in a solvent depends on interaction between the solute and the solvent. The more the attractive force and interaction between solute and solvent, the greater the greater the rate of dissolution of the solute in the solvent.

The absence of interaction between solute and solvent molecules means that the substance can not dissolve in that particular solvent. Hence, any factor that enhances solute-solvent interaction will enhance dissolution of a solute in a particular solvent.

How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill 636 3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L× $\frac{1balloon}{3L}$ = 636 balloons

I hope it helps!
