Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all in a constant 1:2:1 ratio.

Hence the name Carbo (carbon) hydra (hydrogen) and the ending 'ate' refers to oxygen.

If you were a scientist investigating the effects of antioxidants in foods, what would you test and why?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

One possible reason why many studies on antioxidant supplements do not show a health benefit is because antioxidants tend to work best in combination with other nutrients, plant chemicals, and even other antioxidants.

An isotope, X, of a particular element has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 18. Therefore:
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Because the atomic number is 8, we can see that it is indeed an isotope of oxygen. If the mass number is 18, this means that the protons and neutrons added together = 18, so there are 10 neutrons. It does not have an atomic mass of 15.9994 like the element on the periodic table, however, as this is a confirmed isotope and not an average.

Yasmin's teacher asks her to make a supersaturated saline solution. Her teacher tells her that the solubility of the salt is 360
Aleks [24]

Answer:

She can add 380 g of salt to 1 L of hot water (75 °C) and stir until all the salt dissolves. Then, she can carefully cool the solution to room temperature.  

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution contains more salt than it can normally hold at a given temperature.

A saturated solution at 25 °C contains 360 g of salt per litre, and water at 70 °C can hold more salt.

Yasmin can dissolve 380 g of salt in 1 L of water at 70 °C. Then she can carefully cool the solution to 25 °C, and she will have a supersaturated solution.

B and D are wrong. The most salt that will dissolve at 25 °C is 360 g. She will have a saturated solution.

C is wrong. Only 356 g of salt will dissolve at 5 °C, so that's what Yasmin will have in her solution at 25 °C. She will have a dilute solution.

Manganese has a total of 25 electrons, but the following orbital notation for manganese is incorrect. Explain the error in terms
laila [671]
The Orbital configuration for Manganese is as follows:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5

It says 3d is shown with five orbitals- this is correct

Then it says the first two orbitals have two electrons-this is incorrect. 

When filling in the orbitals for any element, you first need to distribute to ALL orbitals then extras go from there.

The orbital d can have up to 10 electrons so you need to distribute at least one electron to all ten. Since you only have 5 then only 5 orbitals would have electrons in them. In order for ANY of the orbitals to have two electrons, there would need to be AT LEAST 11 electrons to distribute.
