A positive nitrite test suggests the presence of a minimum of 105 microorganisms / mL in your urine. The nitrite test in urine is a method used to detect the presence of microorganisms in the urine. This is a diagnostic test for urinary tract infections. Microorganisms that are the cause of UTI or urinary tract infection produce an enzyme that would change nitrates in urine into nitrite. This nitrite that is formed is the ion that is monitored and measure in a nitrite test. If nitrites are present in the urine, then most probably UTI is present. A positive in this test is called nitrituria.

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms

ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

A chemist dissolves 1.3 mol NaCl in a 2.0-kg sample of water. What is the boiling point of this solution? (Assume that pure wate

mafiozo [28]

For this problem, the solution is exhibiting some colligative properties since the solute in the solution interferes with some of the properties of the solvent. We use equation for the boiling point elevation for this problem. We do as follows:

ΔT(boiling point) = (Kb)mi
ΔT(boiling point) = (0.512)(1.3/2.0)(2)
ΔT(boiling point) = 0.67 degrees Celsius

T(boiling point) = 100 + 0.67 = 100.67 degrees Celsius
