Why is carbon-12 the only isotope with an atomic mass that is a whole number?

1 answer:

4 0

Fundamental properties of atoms including atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons.

4: The shikimate pathway is critically important and found in plants. Discuss reasons why this pathway is so important and even

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the growth and flourishing of animals Aromatic amino acids are very important, but because of lack of shikimate these amino acids are not synthesized in animals pathway.But this pathway is found in both plants and micro organisms and they have the ability to produce these amino acids as well as some secondary metabolites required in animals.

There are different role played by this pathway in organisms such as;

1) It serve as a source of Tryptophan and phenylalanie which are important aromatic amino acid.

2)Neuroactive substances such as serotonin,epinephrine are biosynthesized as result of the product from the pathway.

3)Alkaloids that's found in plants as well as antibiotics possessed by microbes, which are essential therapeutical in animals are secondary metabolites that is biosynthesized as a result of the activities of this product of this pathway.

4)Shikimate is useful in the synthesizing of 6-Fluoroshikimic acid.

5) The shikimate pathway is important for the synthesis of a plethora of aromatic compounds in both plants and bacteria as well as fungi.

Does adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent, a lesser extent, or a greater e

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water <em><u>to the same extent</u></em> by adding 1 mol of $C_06H_{12}O_6$ to 1 kg of water.

Explanation:

1) Moles of NaCl , $n_1=1 mol$

Mass of water = m= 1 kg = 1000 g

Moles of water = $n_2=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol$

Vapor pressure of the solution = $p$

Vapor pressure of the pure solvent that is water = $p_o=17.5 Torr$

Mole fraction of solute(NaCl)= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{p_o-p}{p_o}=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{17.5 Torr-p}{17.5 Torr}=\frac{1 mol}{1 mol+55.55 mol}$

$p=17.19 Torr$

The vapor pressure for the NaCl solution at 17.19 Torr.

2) Moles of sucrose , $n_1=1mol$

Mass of water = m = 1 kg = 1000 g

Moles of water = $n_2=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol$

Vapor pressure of the solution = $p'$

Vapor pressure of the pure solvent that is water = $p_o=17.5 Torr$

Mole fraction of solute ( glucose)= $\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{p_o-p}{p_o}=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{17.5 Torr-p}{17.5 Torr}=\frac{1 mol}{1 mol+55.55 mol}$

$p'=17.19 Torr$

The vapor pressure for the glucose solution at 17.19 Torr.

p = p' = 17.19 Torr

Adding 1 mol of NaCl to 1 kg of water lower the vapor pressure of water to the same extent by adding 1 mol of $C_06H_{12}O_6$ to 1 kg of water.

Predict the empirical formula of these compounds. a. C2N2. b. P4O10. c. N2O5. d. NaCl. e. C9H20. f. B2H6. g. K2Cr2O7. h. Al2Br6.

Stella [2.4K]

The empirical formula is the simplest form of the formula expressed in the lowest ratio. In this case, we just have to divide each subscript by the greatest common factor. Hence.
a. CN
b. P2O5
c.N2O5
d.NaCl
e. C9H20
f. BH3
g.K2Cr2O7
h.AlB3
i.CH
j.SiCl4
