Staining specimen with heavy metal salts (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) allows you to see the specimen better with higher contrast when electron beam deflects off of your sample.

In transmission electron microscope electrons are transmitted through an ultrathin section of a specimen to form a digital image.  It necessary to stain the specimen with heavy metal salts to create a contrast such that various cell sub structures are easily visible. For example, DNA is stained with heavy salts such that it is easily visible against the background.

Which plate, oceanic or continental, must be more dense?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Oceanic & Continental Plates

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It's sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone. The continental plate is less dense and floats over the top of it since it is more buoyant

What is the mass of 3.20x10^23 formula units of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3)?
yaroslaw [1]

The mass of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) : 85.12 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3.20x10²³ formula units

Required

The mass

Solution

1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mol of Fe₂O₃ :

\tt n=\dfrac{3.2.10^{23}}{6.02.10^{23}}=0.532

mass of Fe₂O₃ (MW=160 g/mol)

\tt mass=mol\times MW=0.532\times 160=85.12~g

It takes 2 g of chlorine to sanitize 1,000,000g of water. How much chlorine will it take to sanitize a 40,000-gallon pool? ( 1 g
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.1g (Gallon) of chlorine

Explanation:

<u>Formula</u>

1 gallon = 3.7L; the density of water is 1.0g/ml

<u>Given</u>

2g (gallon) of chlorine to sanitize = 1,000,000g (gallon) of water

<u>Solve</u>

If 2g (gallon) chlorine = 1,000,000g (gallon)

∴, ? chlorine = 40,000

The First step; set up an equation

1000000/2 = 40000/?

The Next step; divide 1 million to 2

1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000

Then, divide the result by 40000

40000 ÷ 500000 = 0.08

In the nearest unit that is 0.1

Therefore, it will take 0.1g (gallon) of chlorine to sanitize a 40,000-gallon pool.
