Answer:

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions present in the bones

6. Phosphate ions present in body fluids act as the counterions.

7. Iron

8. Zinc

If 5.0 moles of C3H8 react, how many molecules of water are formed?

artcher [175]

Balance Chemical Equation for combustion of Propane is as follow,

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

According to equation,

1 mole of C₃H₈ on combustion gives = 4 moles of H₂O
So,
5 moles of C₃H₈ on combustion will give = X moles of H₂O

Solving for X,
X = (5 mol × 4 mol) ÷ 1 mole

X = 20 moles of H₂O

Calculating number of molecules for 20 moles of H₂O,
As,
1 mole of H₂O contains = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
So,
20 moles of H₂O will contain = X molecules

Solving for X,
X = (20 mole × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules) ÷ 1 mol

X = 1.20 ×10²⁵ Molecules of H₂O

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIIS QUESTION

sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 5 carbon compounds due to low to high intermolecular forces between their molecules.

Explanation:

Bottle C has gas in it and we know that alkane has carbon and hydrogen only which means they have a single sigma bond between them and very low intermolecular forces in between molecules and are present mostly at gaseous state. Thus, bottle C has alkane.

Alcohols have -OH group that can form rarely two pi bonds which means they have intermediate intermolecular force whereas acids have -cooH group with a high molecular force so bottle B with liquid is alcohol and A has acid.
