"Polysaccharide carbohydrate" comprises an S. pneumoniae capsule.

<u>Option:</u> C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The lengthy sequences of carbohydrate molecules, primarily polymeric carbohydrates constructed of units of monosaccharides linked together through glycosidic connections, understood as Polysaccharides. This carbohydrate can respond to water by catalyzing amylase enzymes, which generate component sugars.

A major human pathogen is Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus. The virulence is primarily due to its polysaccharide envelope, which protects it from the recipient immune response, and this has led to comprehensive study of the shell.

Two electrons are found in the same atom. One has the quantum number set (3, 2, 0, +?), and the other has the quantum number set
Vilka [71]

D. Same energy level but different sublevel.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are four quantum numbers [1]:

  • <em>n</em><em>, </em>the principal quantum number,
  • <em>l</em>, the orbital angular momentum quantum number,
  • <em>m_l</em>, the magnetic quantum number, and
  • <em>m_s</em>, the electron spin quantum number.

As their names might suggest:

  • <em>n </em>determines the main energy level of an electron.
  • <em>l</em> determines the type of sublevel of an electron.
  • Each sublevel might contain more than one orbital. <em>m_l</em> gives the orbital of an electron.
  • Each orbital contains up to two electrons. <em>m_s</em> tells two electrons in the same orbital apart.<em> </em>

The two electrons in question come from the same atom. The question suggests that they have the same <em>n</em>, <em>m_l</em>, and <em>m_s</em>. As a result, both electrons are in main energy level <em>n</em> = 3. They share the same spin.

However, the two electrons differ in their value of <em>l</em>.

  • <em>l </em>= 2 for the first electron. It belongs to a <em>d</em> sublevel.
  • <em>l </em>= 1 for the second electron. It belongs to a <em>p</em> sublevel.

The atomic and mass numbers for four different atoms are given below. Which two are isotopes of the same element?
Dmitrij [34]
The correct option is B AND C.
An isotope is defined as two or more forms of the same element which contain equal number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei, hence they differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.
Thus, isotopes has the same number of protons but differ in number of neutrons. Due to this fact, isotopes always have the same atomic number but different mass number. You will notice that the atomic number given for elements B and C are the same [101].

A rock displaces 475ml of water what’s its volume
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The rock displaces 475 mL of water.

475 mL is the volume of the rock.

1 mL = 1 cm^3  

The mass is just density times volume.

m = 475 * 2.5 = 125 g

A student pipets exactly 5.00ml of 3.47 x 10.2M FeCl3 solution into a Vol flask and adds enough water to it to make 250ml of sol
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The concentration would be 0.76 mol/L.

The most common way to solve this problem is to use the formula

c1V1=c2V2

In your problem,

c1 = 4.2 mol/L; V1 = 45.0 mL

c2 = ?; V2 = 250 mL

c2=c1×V1V2 = 4.2 mol/L × 45.0mL250mL = 0.76 mol/L

This makes sense. You are increasing the volume by a factor of about 6, so the concentration should be about ¹/₆ of the original (¹/₆ × 4.2 = 0.7).
