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.

You have a 1.153 g sample of an unknown solid acid, HA, dissolved in enough water to make 20.00 mL of solution. HA reacts with K
seropon [69]

Answer:

HA +  KOH  →  KA  +  H₂O

Explanation:

The unknown solid acid in water can release its proton as this:

HA  +  H₂O  →  H₃O⁺  +  A⁻

As we have the anion A⁻, when it bonded to the cation K⁺, salt can be generated, so the reaction of HA and KOH must be a neutralization one, where you form water and a salt

HA +  KOH  →  KA  +  H₂O

It is a neutralization reaction because H⁺ from the acid and OH⁻ from the base can be neutralized as water

Determine how many ml of water you need to remove, by evaporation, if you have a 500 ml of 10.20 M HNO3 dilute solution and you
Ludmilka [50]

The total volume of water that would be removed will be 75 mL

<h3>Dilution equation</h3>

Using the dilution equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

In this case, M1 = 500 mL, V1 = 10.20 M, M2 = 12 M

Substitute:

V2 = 500 x 10.20/12

         = 425 mL

The final volume in order to arrive at 12 M HNO3 would be 425 mL from the initial 500 mL. Thus, the total amount of water that will be removed by evaporation can be calculated as:

500 - 425 = 75 mL
