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

For the reaction CO2(g) + H2(g)CO(g) + H20(g)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The ΔG° is 29 kJ and the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ΔH°rxn or enthalpy change is 41.2 kJ, the ΔS°rxn or change in entropy is 42.1 J/K or 42.1 * 10⁻³ kJ/K. The temperature given is 289 K. Now the Gibbs Free energy change can be calculated by using the formula,

ΔG° = ΔH°rxn - TΔS°rxn

= 41.2 kJ - 289 K × 42.1 × 10⁻³ kJ/K

= 41.2 kJ - 12.2 kJ

= 29 kJ

As ΔG° of the reaction is positive, therefore, the reaction is favored towards reactant.

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2 , how much of the energy in

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.
