predict where an unknown element that has these properties could fit in the periodic table 62 protons and electrons

1 answer:

5 0

Position of element in periodic table is depend on the electronic configuration of element.

Element with 62 electrons has following electronic configuration:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 4f6 6s2

From above electronic configuration, it can be seen that highest value of principal quantum number, where electron is present, is 6. Hence, element belongs to 6th period.

Further, last electron has entered f-orbital, hence it is a f-block element. Position of f-block element is the bottom of periodic table.

Further, there are 6 electrons in f-orbital. Hence, it is the 6th f-block element in 6th period of periodic table.

Which of the following is a characteristic of mixtures? A. Mixtures can only be in solid and liquid form. B. Substances that are

Taya2010 [7]

The correct choice is B.

Mixtures retain their properties because science has proven it. Take a bag of trail mix for example. Those raisins and marshmallows and m&m’s can each be separated. When you take them out, they keep their same texture.

Is not correct because mixtures can be solids (Trail mix is one example)

Correct

Is not correct because sometimes it cannot be seen (Lemonade powder and water is one example)

Is not correct because trail mix is an example.

The nucleoside adenosine exists in a protonated form with a pKa of 3.8. The percentage of the protonated form at pH 4.8 is close

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So, you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this:

pH = pKa + log( $A^-/HA$ ) where A- is the conjugate base of the acid. In other words, A- is the deprotonated form and HA is the protonated.

We can solve that

1 = log( $A^-/HA\\$ ) and so 10 = $A^-/HA$ or 10HA = A-. For every 1 protonated form of adenosine (HA), there are 10 A-. So, the percent in the protonated form will be 1(1+10) or 1/11 which is close to 9 percent.
