What do subscripts represent in a chemical formula?

1 answer:

8 0

The numbers appearing as subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. So when you see H2O, you know there are two hydrogens because a two follows the H.

What is the volume at STP of 3.44 x 1023 molecules of CO2

almond37 [142]

Answer:

C. 12.8 liters.

Explanation:

The Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) of a gas are 273.15 K and 100 kilopascals. From Avogadro's Law, a mole of carbon dioxide contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules. If we suppose that carbon dioxide behaves ideally, then the equation of state for ideal gas is:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

$P\cdot V = \frac{r\cdot R_{u}\cdot T}{N_{A}}$ (1b)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Volume, measured in liters.

$r$ - Amount of molecules, no unit.

$N_{A}$ - Avogadro's number, no unit.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant, measured in pascal-liters per mole-Kelvin.

$T$ - Temperature, measured in Kelvin.

If we know that $P = 100000\,Pa$ , $r = 3.44\times 10^{23}$ , $N_{A} = 6.022\times 10^{23}$ , $T = 273.15\,K$ and $R_{u} = 8.314\times 10^{3}\,\frac{L\cdot Pa}{mol\cdot K}$ , then the volume of carbon dioxide at STP is:

$V = \frac{r\cdot R_{u}\cdot T}{N_{A}\cdot P}$

$V = \frac{(3.44\times 10^{23})\cdot \left(8.314\times 10^{3}\,\frac{L\cdot Pa}{mol\cdot K} \right)\cdot (273.15\,K)}{(6.022\times 10^{23})\cdot (100000\,Pa)}$

$V = 12.972\,L$

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

When do replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center

Art [367]

Answer:

During Metaphase

Explanation:

During Metaphase the cell chromosome align themselves in the middle of the cell.This occur due to a cellular process called "Tug of War".

The chromosome which have been replicated and joined at the central point called centromere are called sister chromatids

Prior to metaphase , Kinetochore type of protein are formed around the centromere. Long protein filament called kinetochore are extended from poles to other end of the cell attached to kinetochore.

Therse is important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis called metaphase.

At this point cell ensure that , it is ready to divide or not.

Once the cell ensure that everything is ready to divide. Only after then , yhe cell enters the fourth phase called anaphase.
