Answer:
            Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.

Explanation:
                   As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.

Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,

Aluminium           0.130 nm

Silicon                  0.118 nm

Phosphorus         <span>0.110 nm</span></span></span>

Calculate the volume of this irregular solid to the nearest cubic centimeter​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

8 cm3

Explanation:

The volume of this irregular solid will calculated as the difference between the final volume and the initial volume;

The final volume of the water and the solid is 25 ml

The initial volume of the water alone was 17 ml

The volume of the irregular solid is thus approximately;

25 - 17 = 8 ml

We then use the conversion;

1 cm3 = 1 mL

Thus the volume of the solid is 8 cm3

How are Parkinson's disease and ALS similar?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Both diseases affect the control of voluntary muscles.

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disease that affects movement. It affects the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the part of the brain called substantia nigra. The symptoms include shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. Symptoms get worse with time, often leaving people with difficulty walking and talking.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The first symptoms usually involve muscle weakness, and as the disease progresses, it results in the loss of muscle control.

Scientists don't know the exact cause of these diseases. As the cause is not known, there is no exact way to prevent them. There is no cure for them, either. The treatment is focused on the management of symptoms.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

6. An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of pH 10.00 to study the effects of acid rain on limestone-rich soils. To p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base,  [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and  [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.

pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>

<em />

Replacing these values:

10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]

<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>

<em />

During strenuous exercise, the NADH formed in the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction in skeletal muscle must be r
vekshin1

Answer:

The answer is pyruvate → lactate

Explanation:

In the reaction of glycolysis, glucose breaks down to form pyruvate yielding ATP and NADH.

Under or during strenuous exercise, which is an anaerobic condition, lactate is formed by the reoxidization of NADH and the conversion of pyruvate to lactate.
