There are some exceptions to the rule organisms such as a protist called a euglena can be both heterotrophic and autotrophic. This is a true statement.

Explanation:

Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics
Photoautotrophs include protists that have chloroplasts, such as Spirogyra. Heterotrophs get their energy by consuming other organisms. Other protists can get their energy both from photosynthesis and from external energy sources

All live in water and move by means of a flag ellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants
Euglena is photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight i.e autotrophic, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.
Most species of Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts within the body of the cell, which enable them to feed by autotrophy, like plants. They can also take nourishment heterotrophically, like animals.

a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula

Elena-2011 [213]

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

$M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + ( 1 \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol$

Now, n-factor is :

$n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3$

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly) due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.

Compare the mass of a proton to the mass of an electron.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Electrons are only about 0.054% as massive as neutrons and protons are only 99.86% as massive as the neutrons. The mass of the Proton is 1.67 x 10^-27 kg and the mass of the electron is 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The mass of the electron is so much lighter than the mass of the proton.
