Which particle has a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is D) a neutron.

When we say an atom's mass is, like 5 atomic mass units actually we are saying that the total number of the neutrons and protons in its nucleus is 5.

The mass of a neutron and a proton is each one atomic mass unit.

Mass of a neutron is approximately 1 atomic mass unit.

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a hormone secreted into the bloodstream in times of stress. It contains 59.0% C, 7.15% H, 26.20% O,

vichka [17]

Answer:

C9H13O3N

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of C=12.0, H=1.0, O=16.0 and N=14.0.

We can draw a chart (please view this on desktop so to avoid spacing errors):

Let the mass of Epinephrine be 100g.

C H O N

mass(g) : 59 7.15 26.2 7.65

no. of moles : 59/12 =4.9167 7.15/1 = 7.15 26.2/16=1.6375 7.65/14=0.5464

(n.o.m. = mass/molar mass)

Ratio: 4.9167/0.5464 =9 7.15/0.5464=13 1.6375= 3 0.5464/0.5464 =1

(divide the n.o.m. by the smallest n.o.m., which is 0.5464 in this case, take the whole numbers)

So, the empirical formula will be: C9H13O3N

But this is still not yet the molecular formula. We have to ensure the molar mass is 183g/mol. Multiply the empirical formula by n.

So, let the molecular formula of Epinephrine be (C9H13O3N)n.

12x9n + 1x13n + 16x3n + 14n = 183

108n + 13n + 48n + 14n = 183

183 n = 183.

n = 1

Hence, the molecular formula is C9H13O3N.

How is bacteria on mars counted as life but a heartbeat on earth not?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

It is considered life, but that doesn’t have to do much with abortion.

We kill things all the time. Unless you are vegetarian, lots of animals are killed to give you meat. Even if you are, you’ll probably swat a mosquito that’s trying to bite you. And what about the bacteria inside your body that are constantly killed to keep you healthy?

The question is how much this life is worth. This becomes more a question of ethics, but I think we can all agree a human life is worth a lot. So killing humans is wrong. What about somewhat intelligent animals? Well, killing them just for the fun of it or because you can is wrong as well I think.Most people think that’s okay, although some people will disagree and become vegetarians.

Insect life is worth less, and killing an insect is seen by most people as okay as long as you have even a small reason for it (like being irritated by a buzzing fly).

And all the way on the bottom are bacteria. They are not conscious, even though alive.

Sorry about the first answer. I didn't look at the question carefully since I wasn't wearing my glasses.

If this doesn't help than I'm sorry.

Why is carbon good for forming the structure of life?

Leni [432]

First things first carbon is quite common element here in Earth. But it is not all, right? Otherwise we would be built from other, more common elements. The thing is in carbon reactiveness. Also energy needed to create carbon chemical compounds isnt that big when compared to etc nitrogen. It can bind up to 4 different elements (atoms). Thanks to this can givesingle, both and triple bindings! Carbon can give away electrons or take them making his degree of oxidation consequently from -IV to +IV. All this vareity leads to vareity of bigger elements that will be created from carbon later- carbohydrates, proteins etc. As life needs vareity to adapt to different situations and climax only carbon therefore can provide this.

Dispersal of matter and energy can be directly related to spontaneity if the: Select the correct answer below

n200080 [17]

Answer:

d. there are no conditions for this correlation.

Explanation: Dispersal of matter is a term used to describe the various processes and activities involved in the transfer of materials from one location to another.

The spontaneity of a process tries to explain that a process will continue to occur when an initial force has been applied, it doesn't require the continous input of energy for it to continue to take place.
