Answer : The mass number for this element is 266.

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

As we are given :

Number of electrons in an ion = 108

Number of neutrons in an ion = 157

So, number of protons in an ion = 108

For neutral atom, the number of electrons will be:

Number of electrons = Number of protons in an ion + Charge

Number of electrons = 108 + (+1) = 108 + 1 = 109

Now we have to determine the mass number for this element.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number protons

Mass number = 157 + 109

Mass number = 266

Therefore, the mass number for this element is 266.

I'm assuming you mean the atomic mass number for an element on the periodic table. So if there are 108electrons and a +1 charge then there are 109 protons in the atom and therefore the atomic mass unit is 109

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

Tin (II) fluoride, formerly found in many kinds of toothpaste, is formed in this reaction: Sn (s) + 2HF (g) ——> SnF2 (s) + H2

Readme [11.4K]

1.34 L of HF

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Sn (s) + 2 HF (g) → SnF₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of SnF₂:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of SnF₂ = 5 / 157 = 0.03 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of SnF₂ are produced from 2 moles of SnF₂. This will mean that 0.03 moles of SnF₂ are produced from 0.06 moles of HF.

Now at standard temperature and pressure (STP) we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of HF:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of HF = number of moles × 22.4

volume of HF = 0.06 × 22.4 = 1.34 L

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Given Newton's third law of motion; "Action and reaction are equal and opposite", when a student jumps off a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill, the sled will move in the East direction.

This is because, the force exerted on the sled is a reaction force and is opposite in direction to the force that thrusts the boy westward though equal in magnitude with the former.
