Lithium has charge of +1 and bromide has charge of - 1. So they combine to form the compound lithium bromide which is expressed as LiBr.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium is an alkali metal placed in group 1 or periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as lithium loses an electron to achieve a charge of +1.

Bromine is a halogen which is placed in group 17 of periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as bromine looses an election to achieve a charge of - 1.

Lithium is the cation and bromide is the anion. So lithium is written in front and bromine following the cation. And as both of their valencies are 1, so they form the compound LiBr.

Oh no! Igor stepped on a piece of glass on the sidewalk in front of
Helen [10]

Answer: The correct sequence for the series of event would be.

1. Igor's toe is being cut by the glass.

2. The wound surrounding the injury becomes infected  with bacteria from Igor's foot.

3. Antibodies and circulating white blood cells stick to the  bacteria creating a large complex in the lymph vessel.

4. The bacteria enter his lymph system and travel towards a lymph node.

5. The complex becomes trapped in a lymph node and is  engulfed by a phagocyte.

6. The bacteria is destroyed.

Explanation:

Whenever there is any cut or wound in the body and body encounters invasion of the foreign materials it considers it as harmful pathogen.

These pathogens when enters the body it is considered as antigen, it then travels to the lymphatic system.

These bacterial complex is then killed by the phagocytes and digested by the body.

In this way the complex is killed and the bacteria is destroyed.

As illustrated, the below manometer consists of a gas vessel and an open-ended U-tube containing a nonvolatile liquid with a den
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

The difference in heights in the two sides is because of the difference in  pressure of the enclosed gas and the atmospheric pressure. This difference is in mm of the nonvolatile liquid. The difference in mm Hg is:

32.3mm * (0.993g/mL / 13.6g/mL) = 2.36mmHg

As atmospheric pressure is 765mm Hg and assuming the gas has more pressure than the atmospheric pressure (There is no illustration), the pressure of the gas is:

765mm Hg + 2.36mm Hg = 767.36 mmHg

In atm:

767.36 mmHg * (1atm / 760 mmHg) =

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Consider stoichiometric combustion of gasoline and air. Assume a full tank of gasoline holds 50 L (approximately 13.2 gallons),
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

520 kg

Explanation:

Let's consider the combustion of isooctane.

C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) → 8 CO₂(g) +  9 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 mL of C₈H₁₈ has a mass of 0.690 g (ρ = 0.690 g/mL).
  • The molar mass of C₈H₁₈ is 114.22 g/mol.
  • The molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to O₂ is 1:12.5.
  • The mole fraction of O₂ in air is 0.21.
  • The molar mass of air is 28.96 g/mol.

50 L of isooctane require the following mass of air.

50 \times 10^{3}mLC_{8}H_{18}.\frac{0.690gC_{8}H_{18}}{1mLC_{8}H_{18}} .\frac{1molC_{8}H_{18}}{114.22gC_{8}H_{18}} .\frac{12.5molO_{2}}{1molC_{8}H_{18}} .\frac{1molAir}{0.21molO_{2}} .\frac{28.96 \times 10^{-3}kgAir}{1molAir} =520kgAir
