Phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons in its outer shell, meaning, it needs 3 more to become a stable element.

This question is asking for an element with 5 valence electrons. Just go to the row it is in (excluding transition metals) and count over.
The answer would be c. P

When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity fo

Georgia [21]

Answer:

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

Why does nitric oxide (no) act as a paracrine signal that affects only neighboring cells?

VMariaS [17]

The correct answer is due to rapid conversion of nitrates into nirites in extracellular fluids.

Due to the fact that it is quickly transformed to nitrates and nitrites in the extracellular fluid, nitric oxide (NO) functions as a paracrine signal that only impacts nearby cells. Because it relaxes the smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls, nitric oxide (NO) causes blood vessels to widen. Cell signaling is a type of cellular communication in which a cell produces a signal to cause changes in neighboring cells, changing the behavior of those cells. Paracrine signaling is one type of cell signaling. Responses to allergens, tissue repair, the development of scar tissue, and blood clotting are a few examples of paracrine signaling. The transmission of signals through synapses between nerve cells is known as paracrine signaling.

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (ch4) will be obtained with __________ as the solvent and a temperature of _

NikAS [45]

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (CH₄) will be obtained with H₂O as the solvent and a temperature of 349 K.

Henry's law: This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas that in equilibrium with that liquid.

Mathematically it can be written as:

$C_{g}=k\times P_{g}$

So, for the methane gas , lowest value of the henry's law obtained at 349 K and with H₂O as the solvent.
