The human body contains many salts, of which sodium chloride NaCl is the major one, making up around 0.4 per cent of the body's weight. So a 50kg person would contain around 200g of sodium chloride - around 40 teaspoons. Since we lose salt whenever we sweat, it has to be continually replaced.

Answer: 0.4% of body weight.

Write the formula for the complex ion formed by the metal ion Cr3+ and six NO2- ions as ligands. Decide whether the complex coul
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:The metal complex formed would have the following formula [Cr(NO₂)₆]³⁻. The complex has a net negative charge and hence it can only be isolated as a salt with a positive cation so the formed complex could be isolated as potassium salt. The formula for salt would be K₃[Cr(NO₂)₆].

Explanation:

The metal ion given to us is Cr³⁺ (Chromium) in +3 oxidation state.

The electronic configuration for the metal ion is  [Ar]3d³ so there are vacant 3d metal orbitals  which are available and hence 6 NO₂⁻ ligands can easily attack the metal center and form a metal complex.

The charge on the overall complex can be calculated using the oxidation states of metal and ligand which is provided.  

The (chromium ) Cr³⁺ metal has +3 charge and 6 NO₂⁻ (nitro) ligands have -6 charge and since  the ligands will be  providing a total of 6 - (negative) charge  and hence only 3- (negative ) charge can be neutralized so a net 3- negative charge would be present on the overall complex which is basically present at the metal center :

charge on the complex=+3-6=-3

Let X be the Oxidation state of Cr in complex =[Cr(NO₂)₆]³⁻

                                                          X-6=-3

                                                           X=-3+6

                                                            X=+3

so our calculated oxidation state of Cr is +3 which matches with the provided in question.

As we can see that the overall metal complex has a net negative charge and hence and only positively charged  cations can form a salt with this metal complex and hence only potassium K⁺ ions can form salt with the metal complex.

since overall charge present on the metal complex is -3 so 3 K⁺ ion would be needed to neutralize it and hence the formula of the metal salt would be K₃[Cr(NO₂)₆].

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This is a desert because there is little precipitation for plant and animal life to thrive.

Explanation:

Tundra is harsh environment because of its cold temperature, so it's definitely not too hot. Swamp temperature should be not too cold or hot. The rainforest should have abundant plant and animal life.

Desert has very low precipitation and low moisture so that not much water can be found around. Water is vital for any plant or animal. Water also helps regulate temperature and make the fluctuation in the environment extreme. The temperature around the desert can be really high at daylight and low at night.
