Hey there!:

The 1s, 2s and 2p subshells are completely filled (a maximum of two electrons go into the 1s subshell and a maximum of two electrons go into the 2s subshell.  The 2p subshell includes 3 orbitals, with 2 electrons maximum per orbital).  The 3s subshell has only one of a maximum of two electrons.

Hope that helps!

The number of orbitals that are completely full is 5.

The reason you may have thought it was 3 is because you're confusing orbitals with subshells.

In this electron configuration, the sub shells are:  1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^1

So, we have four sub shells.

Each sub shell consists of a specific number of orbitals. s subshells have one orbital, p subshells have three orbitals, d subshells have five orbitals, and f subshells have seven orbitals. Knowing this, we can look back at the electron configuration we were given and determine how many orbitals are filled.

1s^2 has one orbital, 2s^2 has one orbital, 2p^6 has three orbitals, and 3s^1 has one orbital. The first three subshells are completely full, so a total of five orbitals are full.

The ksp of calcium carbonate, caco3, is 3.36 × 10-9 m2. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.

CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
                       CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial                Y                   -                 -
Change           -X                  +X              +X
Equilibrium      Y-X                 X                X

Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²

                Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
                    X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
                                                     = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
                                                 = 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L

Ampicillin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. (Instead of killing bacteria, it inhibits their growth.) Ramon plated bacteria transf
love history [14]

Answer:

A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.

B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.

On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.
