<span>An atoms atomic mass is the sum of it's proton and neutrons found in the nucleus. An atom's atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. By subtracting an element's atomic number from the atomic mass you can calculate the number of neutrons. For oxygen it would be sixteen minus eight, so oxygen has eight neutrons.</span>

What is the volume, in liters, of 1.40 mol of oxygen gas at 20.0°C and 0.974 atm?
topjm [15]

Answer:

V = 34.55 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No of moles, n = 1.4

Temperature, T = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Pressure, P = 0.974 atm

We need to find the volume of the gas. It can be calculated using Ideal gas equation which is :

PV=nRT

R is gas constant, R=0.08206\ L-atm/mol-K

Finding for V,

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.4\times 0.08206\times 293}{0.974 }\\\\V=34.55\ L

So, the volume of the gas is 34.55 L.

How do the particles in each state of matter move
hodyreva [135]

the particles of solids move but very slowly.

the particles of liquids move moderately fast

the particles of gas move very fast.

The reasons for this movement is the space the particles are together. Since there is not move space between solids, the particles move slowly, water there is moderate space, and air there is a lot of space.

A laboratory analysis of a sample finds it is composed of 38.8% carbon, 16.2% hydrogen, and 45.1% nitrogen. What is its empirica
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_5N

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of C = 38.8 %

Percentage of H = 16.2 %

Percentage of N = 45.1 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 38.8 g

Mass of H = 16.2 g

Mass of N = 45.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{38.8g}{12g/mole}=3.23moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{16.2g}{1g/mole}=16.2moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{45.4g}{14g/mole}=3.24moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.23 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.23}{3.23}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{16.2}{3.23}=5.01\approx 5

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.24}{3.23}=1.00\approx 1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 1 : 5 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_1H_5N_1=CH_5N

Why do covalent compounds tend to have lower melting points than ionic compounds?
vitfil [10]
Because ionic compounds' strong bonds form network structures, which have a stronger attraction than the covalent compounds which are molecules.

you are running a transformation reaction, and in your microfuge tube currently is your plasmid and your insert fragments (both
ElenaW [278]

A foreign DNA molecule can be incorporated into a bacterial plasmid during a transformation reaction.

<h3>How to explain the reaction?</h3>

With the aid of two enzymes, ligase and restriction enzymes, a foreign DNA molecule can be incorporated into a bacterial plasmid during a transformation reaction. Each enzyme detects a target DNA sequence and cuts it nearby, while ligase aids in connecting the DNA. When two bits of DNA have complimentary bases, it facilitates their joining.

Plasmid and the insert fragment are both present in the microfuge tube, and they both have compatible sticky ends. However, the ligase has been denatured and is no longer active because the prior student left it outside rather than freezing it; despite this, we had already put the ligase into the tube. Ligase aids in binding the plasmid and insert fragments together, but because it is denatured in this instance, it will no longer be able to do so. As a result, no transformation process will take place. And since ligase links DNA fragments together by catalyzing the development of connections between the nearby nucleotides, the two fragments will not be able to unite.
