Since the Chlorine gained an electron, it became a chlorine ion with +1 charge. Therefore, it is Cl⁺¹.

Answer:

The charge would be -1.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons an atom has. Chlorine is electrically neutral, so it has the same  number of positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons). Therefore, chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons. When it gains 1 electron, it will have an excess of one negative charge, so the charge of the ion will be -1, forming Cl⁻.

A patient needs 0.024 g of a sulfa drug. There are 12-mg tablets in stock. How many tablets should be given?
emmainna [20.7K]
I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...

so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g. 

so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g

hope this helps :)

An inventor claims to have devised a closed cyclic engine which exchanges heat with cold and hot reservoirs at 25 and 350 ◦C, re
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

T_{c} = 25^{o}C,  T_{h} = 350^{o}C

Work produced per kJ of heat extracted from hot reservoir = 0.45 kJ = Efficiency

If the device is Carnot cycle then its efficiency will be maximum and its value will be equal to [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

Using this relation we will calculate the efficiency as follows.

                 Efficiency = [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

                        = 1 - (\frac{25}{350})

                       = 0.928

Hence, it means that this type of device is possible and the claim is also believable.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

I believe the answer is A

Explanation:

Work and energy are related because when you work, you cause displacement in the object you are exerting upon. While this happens, you transfer energy between the systems. Both work and energy share the same SI unit, called the joule.
