<h3>Answer:</h3>

Element X is Arsenic (Ar)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the compound X₂O₃

The compound is 24.26% Oxygen

We are required to identify element X

<h3>Step 1: Determine the mass of Oxygen in the compound </h3>

Atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.0 g

There are three oxygen atoms in the compound

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen in the compound = 3 × 16

                                                        = 48 g

<h3>Step 2: Total mass of the compound </h3>

Total percentage = 100%

But, Oxygen in the compound  is 24.26 % and has a mass of 48 g

Therefore;

Mass of the compound = (48 g ÷ 24.26 ) × 100

                                      = 197.857 g

<h3>Step 3 mass of X in the compound </h3>

Since we know the mass of oxygen in the compound and the mass of the compound we can determine the mass of X

Mass of X in the compound = Mass of the compound - Mass of Oxygen in the compound

                                               = 197.857 g - 48 g

                                               = 149.857 g

But there are two atoms of X in the compound.

Therefore, molar mass of X = 149.857 g ÷ 2

                                             = 74.929 g

<h3>Step 4: Identity of element X</h3>

We then we need to identify the element with a molar mass of 74.929 g

Therefore, the element represented above is Arsenic which has an atomic mass of 74.92.

Thus, our compound is Ar₂O₃

From each drop-down menu, a solid has (a definite volume and a definite shape), a Liquid has (a definite volume) and gas has ( non of the above)

<h3>The features of different states of Matter:</h3>

Matter is defined as anything that has weight and occupies space.

There are three states of matter that is in existence which include:

  • Solid: The particles of solid are closely packed together and vibrate around fixed axes. That is why they have a definite shape and volume.

  • Liquid: The particles of liquid, though attracted to each other,move freely over each other. That is why they have definite volume but not a definite shape.

Therefore, a liquid occupies the shape of its container.

  • Gas: The particles of gas contain scattered molecules that are dispersed across a given volume.

Therefore, a gas neither has a definite shape nor volume.

Calculează masa zaharului si volumul apei necesare pentru prepararea 500g de soluție de zahăr cu partea de masa 20%
Sedbober [7]
T = 20 %  : 20 / 100 = 0.2

m1 = solute 

m2 = Solvent

T = m1 / m1 + m2

0.2 = 500 g / 500 g + m2

0.2 * ( 500 + m2 ) = 500

0.2 * 500 + 0.2 m2 = 500

100 + 0.2 m2 = 500

0.2 m2 = 500 - 100

0.2 m2 = 400

m2 = 400 / 0.2

m2 = 2000 g of water

hope this helps!

how to determine the net charge of the tripeptide Asp-Gly-Leu at pH 7. Can someone show in details and tricks on how to solve it
Ugo [173]

Answer:

0!

Explanation:

  • You need to search your pKa values for Asn (2.14, 8.75), Gly (2.35, 9.78) and Leu(2.33, 9.74), the first value corresponding to -COOH, the second to -NH3 (a third value would correspond to an R group, but in this case that does not apply), and we'll build a table to find the charges for your possible dissociated groups at indicated pH (7), we need to remember that having a pKa lower than the pH will give us a negative charge, having a pKa bigger than pH will give us a positive charge:            

           

                   -COOH         -NH3              

pH 7------------------------------------------------------              

Asn               -                      +

Gly                -                      +

Leu               -                      +

  • Now that we have our table we'll sketch our peptide's structure:

<em>HN-Asn-Gly-Leu-COOH</em>

This will allow us to see what groups will be free to react to the pH's value, and which groups are not reacting to pH because are forming the bond between amino acids. In this particular example only -NH group in Ans and -COOH in Leu are exposed to pH, we'll look for these charges in the table and add them to find the net charge:

+1 (HN-Asn)

-1 (Leu-COOH)

=0

The net charge is 0!

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What has a density of q
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

  • Water has the density of 1.0g/ml
  • Anything with a density of less than 1.0/ml will float above water.
  • Alcohol would float above the water since it has a lighter density.
