1 )Which of the following is a possible formula unit? PbO Li2B Al2Pb3 ClO

1 answer:

4 0

1. PbO is a possible formula units, since O has charge of 2- and Pb can have a charge of 2+ or 4+, if it uses the 2+ ion, the charges will balance out to form PbO. Li+ and B(3-) would have Li3B, Al(3+) and Pb(2+) are both positive charges and would not balance out, Cl- and O(2-) are both negative charges and would not balance out.

2. Iodine is a halogen, so it has a charge of -1. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal in Group 2, so it has a charge of 2+. Therefore, if they were to form a formula unit, the resultant would be CaI2 (2 iodine atoms of 1- charge are needed to balance out the 2+ charge on the calcium atom).

3. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal with a charge of 2+, while phosphorus has a charge of 3-. Therefore, to balance the charges out, we would need 3 atoms of strontium and 2 atoms of phosphorus. This would give the formula unit of Sr3P2.

Time on earth is divided into 6 eras. Three are considered "Precambrian" Which eras are NOT Precambrian?

bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

the Paleozoic Era

The Precambrian era describes a period of time that pre-dates Cambrian. This time typically references the entire period of the history of earth before the formation of rocks containing identifiable fossils occurred. It covers the majority of Earth’s history and is divided into the Hadean, Archean and the Proterozoic era.

Just before the Cambrian eruption, in the Paleozoic Era the environment was oxygenated, culminating in an explosion of new life in the Proteozoic Eon (2500-541 million years ago) in the form of primitive blue-green algae named cyanobacteria and oxygen based species. Multicellular species followed later, along with structure at higher levels, and complex life. Oxygen levels grew gradually over this period of time, from low levels.

mezya [45]

Antagonsitic effect/interaction/response

In order to combat antiobiotic resistance, and to possibly enhance the activity of antibiotics, they are sometimes used in combinations during treatment. However, three possible responses or effects can manifest.

First is antibiotic synergy, where the combined effect of the antibiotics enhances the activity/potency of the treatment compared to when the antibiotics are administered singly.

The effect is also distinguished from another type of response, which is additive effect, where the combined effect of the antibiotics is more or less equal to the combined activity/potency of each of the antibiotic when applied singly. Antibiotic synergy results in even greater enhancement of the activity of the combined antibiotics compared to additive effect.

Lastly, there is the antagonistic effect or response, where the combined effect of the antibiotics results in the weakening of the potencies of the antibiotics relative to the combined (additive effect) potencies of each of the antibiotics.
