Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

Write the formula for methionine (red = o, gray = c, blue = n, yellow = s, ivory = h).express your answer as a molecular formula
-BARSIC- [3]

We have to get the formula of methionine.

The formula of methionine is

Methionine is an essential amino acid of human. It is white crystalline solid.

The formula of methionine is C₅H₁₁NO₂S. Methionine contains five carbon atoms, eleven hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, two oxygen atoms and one sulphur atom.

It contains one amino group (-NH₂) and one carboxylic acid group (-COOH). Atoms are depicted in C-atom in grey, H-atom in ivory, O-atom in red, N-atom in blue and S-atom in yellow.

If body fats has a density of 0.94 g/mL and 3.0 liters of fat are removed, how many pounds of fat were removed from the patient?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

6.217 pounds

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Density of body fats 0.94 g/mL
  • Volume of fats removed = 3.0 L

We are required to determine the mass of fats removed in pounds.

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ volume

1 L = 1000 mL, thus, volume is 3000 mL

Rearranging the formula;

Mass = Density × Volume

         = 0.94 g/mL × 3000 mL

         = 2,820 g

but, 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore;

Mass = 2,820 g ÷ 453.592 g per pound

         = 6.217 pounds

Thus, the amount of fats removed is 6.217 pounds

How many atoms of hydrogen are in 0.500 mol of ch3oh molecules?
cestrela7 [59]
In 1 mol of CH3OH, you have 4 H-atoms (because 3 H-atoms are attached to the C-atom, and one H-atom in the OH group). That means in 0.500 mol of CH3OH, you have 2 H-atoms since it is halved. And then we have Avogadro's constant: 6.02 * 1023.

The question asks for how many hydrogen atoms there are in 0.500 mol CH3OH. Using the numbers that we have (Avogadro's constant and no. of H-atoms), the answer of the question will be something like:

<span>H-atoms in CH3OH = 2 * 6.02 * </span>1023<span> = ~1.2 * 10</span>24
