ercent; hydrogen (H), 10 percent; nitrogen (N), 3 percent; calcium (Ca), 1.6 percent; phosphorus (P), 1.2 percent; all other elements, 1.2 percent. Calculate the mass in grams of each element in the body of a 62-kg person.

Answer:

The mass in grams of each element in the body of 62 Kg are

Oxygen               40300 g

Carbon                11160 g

Hydrogen            6200 g

Nitrogen              1860 g

Calcium                992 g

Phosphorus         744 g

Other elements   744 g

It is possible to check it adding all the components, the total is 62000 g.  

Explanation:

Firstly, we have a total mass of 62 Kg and the composition as a percentage of each component.

                            Percentage ( %)

Oxygen               65.0

Carbon               18.0

Hydrogen            10.0

Nitrogen              3.0

Calcium               1.6

Phosphorus         1.2

Other elements   1.2

Taking the definition of a percentage as part of hundred total, each percentage can be expressed as a decimal number. We should divide the percentage with 100 of total. For example: Oxygen 65%, it means 65/100 = 0.65. So, Oxygen is 0.65 in decimal numbers. We do the same for each component.

                           Percentage ( %)      Decimal number

Oxygen               65.0                         65/100 = 0.65

Carbon               18.0                           18/100 = 0.18

Hydrogen            10.0                         10/100 = 0.10

Nitrogen              3.0                           3/100 = 0.03

Calcium               1.6                           1.6/100 = 0.016

Phosphorus         1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012

Other elements   1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012

Finally. We can multiply decimal number of each component taking the total. 1 Kg is equivalent to 1000 g.

So, 62 Kg = 62 * 1000 g = 62000 g

After that we get the mass in grams of each element, by multiplying 62000 g and the decimal number of each component as follows:

                           Percentage ( %)      Decimal number      Mass in grams (g)        

Oxygen               65.0                         65/100 = 0.65         0.65*62000=40300

Carbon               18.0                           18/100 = 0.18         0.18*62000=  11160

Hydrogen            10.0                         10/100 = 0.10         0.10*62000=   6200

Nitrogen              3.0                           3/100 = 0.03          0.03*62000= 1860

Calcium               1.6                           1.6/100 = 0.016        0.016*62000= 992

Phosphorus         1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012        0.012*62000=744

Other elements   1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012        0.012*62000=744

A container is filled with hydrogen gas. It has a volume of 4 liters and a pressure of 2 atm. If the pressure of the container i
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

1.33 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R  is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:

<em>(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)</em>

<em></em>

Knowing that:

V₁  =  4.0 L, P₁ = 2.0 atm,

V₂  =  ??? L, P₂ = 6.0 atm.

  • Applying in the above equation

(P ₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)

<em>∴ V₂ = P ₁V₁/P₂</em> = (2.0 atm)(4.0 L)/(6.0 atm) =<em> 1.33 L.</em>

What is the ph of a solution of 0.550 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
Solnce55 [7]
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+  + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:

PH= -㏒[H+]
     = -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1​
Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy  

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy  

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:  

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.  

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level  

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward  

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

\tt  1s^22s^22p^4\rightarrow ground~state\\\\1s^22s^22p^33s^1\rightarrow excited~state
