Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given isotope of oxygen-16 there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Which of the following choices has the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water? (least soluble t
larisa86 [58]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar compound is able to dissolve only polar compounds.

Hence, a compound that is ionic or polar in nature will readily dissolve in water. Whereas non-polar compounds will be insoluble in water.

As CCl_{4} is a non-polar compound. Hence, it is insoluble in water.

On the other hand, CHCl_{3} is a polar compound due to difference in electronegativity of chlorine and carbon atom there will be development of partial charges. Hence, there will be dipole-dipole forces existing between them.

Whereas NaNO_{3} is an ionic compound and it will readily dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Also, there will be ion-dipole interactions between sodium and nitrate ions.

Hence, NaNO_{3} will readily dissolve in water.

Thus, we can conclude that the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water are CCl_{4} < CHCl_{3} < NaNO_{3}.

The question is below

The reaction that has the greatest tendency to be reversed in an spontaneous redox reaction is that whose forward standard reduction potential is the lowest (mos negative) one because that means that the reversed reaction will have the highest (most positive) standard reduction potential.

So, the answer is Cr(3+) + 3e-    ---> Cr(s) with Eo = -0.91 V, whose reversed reaction is Cr(s) - 3e-         ---> Cr (3+) with Eo = +0.91 V.

Answer: the second option Cr(3+) + 3e-    ---> Cr(s)  Eo = -0.91 V

Convert 18.9 moles to MgCl2 to formula units
Masja [62]

Answer:

18.9 moles of MgCl2 = 17.834 kg of MgCl2

Explanation:

The molecular weight of MgCl is 80.0 g/mol . So, to convert the given mole amount to grams, multiply this by this number, which is constant for all compounds with a specific composition (mass fraction).

Considering the original question was in the context of chemistry, I wanted to make it seem formal and more educational too. Hopefully that worked!  

EDIT: Came up with some text around what happens inside cells that would have made it better if someone just had an issue converting units, but I doubt my answer will be accepted >.<
