Aluminum has an atomic number of 13. The electronic configuration of Al is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. Al3+ has only 10 electrons so the configuration of Al 3+ is 1s2<span> 2s</span>2<span> 2p</span><span>6. The highest energy level is 2 so the number of electrons in the highest level is the valence electrons which is 8.</span>

Answer:

There will be zero valence electrons in Al3+

Explanation:

Aluminum (Al) belongs to group 13 in the periodic table with atomic number,Z = 13

Atomic number = number of electrons = 13

Based on the Aufbau principle, the 13 electrons can be arranged from the lowest energy orbital to the highest as follows:

Al(Z=13)= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p¹

The valence orbitals are those orbitals which belong to the shell that farthest from the nucleus. In this case the shell corresponds to n = 3. Hence the valence configuration for Al is:

Al (valence electrons) = 3s²3p¹

Therefore, Al has 3 valence electrons.

The given ion is Al³⁺ . The +3 charge indicates a loss of three electrons.

Al³⁺ = 3s⁰3p⁰

Since there are only 3 valence electrons in Al a cation with a +3 charge would result in the loss of all valence electrons.

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:
zepelin [54]
<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>

A 5.00g of X, the product of organic synthesis is obtained in a 1.0 dm3 aqueous solution. Calculate the mass of X that can be ex
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g

Explanation:

The partition coefficient of X between ethoxy ethane (ether) and water, K is given by the formula

K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water

Partition coefficient, K(X) between ethoxy ethane and water = 40

Concentration of X in ether = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in ether = m g

Volume of ether = 50/1000 dm³ = 0.05 dm³

Concentration of X in ether = (m/0.05) g/dm³

Concentration of X in water = mass(g)/volume(dm³)

Mass of X in water left after extraction with ether = (5 - m) g

Volume of water = 1 dm³

Concentration of X in water = (5 - m/1) g/dm³

Using K = concentration of X in ether/concentration of X in water;

40 = (m/0.05)/(5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 40 × (5 - m)

(m/0.05) = 200 - 40m

m = 0.05 × (200 - 40m)

m = 10 - 2m

3m = 10

m = 10/3

m = 3.33 g of X

Therefore, mass of X extracted from the aqueous solution by 50 cm³ of ethoxy ethane = 3.33 g
