A covalent bond is a bond in which electrons are shared. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred. In this case phosphate ion (PO4)-3 is covalent which means that C and D cannot be the correct answer. Additionally, since the charge is on the oxygen atoms due to the bonding with phosphorus, we can say that the charge is on the entire ion and not just on the phosphorus atom. Therefore the answer is A.

Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm3. What is the volume in cm3 of 3.729 g of iron?
KIM [24]

If iron has a density of 7.87g/cm³ and a mass of 3.729g, then the volume of iron is 0.474cm³

HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME:

  • The volume of a substance can be calculated by dividing the mass by its density. That is;

Volume (mL) = mass (g) ÷ density (g/mL)

  • The density of iron is given as 7.87g/cm³ while its mass is 3.729g of iron. Hence, the volume can be calculated as follows:

Volume = 3.729 ÷ 7.87

Volume = 0.474cm³

Therefore, the volume of iron is 0.474cm³

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

After mitosis, you have 2 cells that are the same as the parent cell. Why is it that your first cell was not the same as your pa
ladessa [460]

Answer:

During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. ... After cytokinesis, the ploidy of the daughter cells remains the same because each daughter cell contains 4 chromatids, as the parent cell did.

An ion with a -2 charge has? A) one missing protein B) two missing protons c) two missing electrons D) two extra electrons
Andreyy89

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.
