Answer:

D. a negatively charged ion

Explanation:

In the neutral state of any element the number of electrons and number of protons are equal in the number. Here in this case since number of electrons are 15 ( equal to atomic number) therefore number of protons are also 15. When 3 electrons are gained by the element this results in a  a negatively charged ion. The ion will have -3 charge over it. It either means excess of three electrons or deficiency of three protons.

On a neutral state, the number of proton of a substance will be equal to the number of its electron (in this case, it has 15 electrons). When three electrons are gained, the total number of the electron will change to 18.

Therefore this result in the substance becomes - D. A negatively charged ion of 3-

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Exergonic ,Endergonic,low concentration area,high

Explanation:

In exergonic reaction,certain molecules are broken down;in the process they release energy which is captured when high energy molecules(such as ATP and NADH) are formed.

                          The breakdown of these molecules can be coupled to thermodynamically unfavorable processes such as Endergonic reactions or pumping og hydrogen ion from low concentration areas to high concentration areas.

In an estuary, _____.
lapo4ka [179]

B; Seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity

Explanation:

In an estuary, seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity. Estuaries are usually located in transitional environments.

  • Estuary is the wide part of a river where it nears the sea.
  • This is called a transitional zone.
  • Water from continental rivers usually fresh are brought in close contact with ocean water that is salty.
  • The water here is said to be brackish as it is intermediate between salt and seawater.
  • Organisms living in such terrain must be be well adapted to changing salinity.

A gas mixture at 535.0°C and 109 kPa absolute enters a heat exchanger at a rate of 67.0 m3/hr. The gas leaves the heat exchanger
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the heat rate required to cool down the gas from 535°C until 215°C is -2.5 kW.

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour:

PV=nRT

therefore

P= 109 Kpa= 1.07575 atm

V= 67 m3/hr = 18.6111 L/s

T= 215 °C = 488 K

R = 0.082 atm L /mol K

n = PV/RT = 109 Kpa = 1.07575 atm * 18.611 L/s /(0.082 atm L/mol K * 488 K)

n= 0.5 mol/s

since the changes in kinetic and potencial energy are negligible, the heat required is equal to the enthalpy change of the gas:

Q= n* Δh = 0.5 mol/s * (- 5 kJ/mol) =2.5 kW
