Answer:

Potassium

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:

The atom having only one electron its outermost shell must belong to an element in group one of the periodic table.

Having noted that, we proceed to find out what element in group one that has the atom just described in the question.

That atom must belong to an element in the fourth period. The only group 1 element in the fourth period is potassium.

The electron configuration of potassium is;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

A compound with a molar mass of 102.133 g/mol contains an element with a subscript of 5 . the element is 58.80 g per 100.0 g com
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

12.0108408

Explanation:

Denote the element with a letter like say X. Since it has a subscript of 5, then, X5.

Molecular mass=102.133g/mol.

% of X in compound =58.8/100

=0.588

Mass of X in the compound = 0.588*102.133 ( the % of X in compound * molar mass of compound)

= 60.054204

X5=60.054204

Then element X has a mass of 60.054204/5=12.0108408

If you compare the egg to a cell, what did you learn about how water moves into or out of a cell? What about salt water? Why doe
Leto [7]

If we compare a cell with an egg there is a major difference between the outer membrane

in case of cell they are bounded by semi permeable membrane

The semi permeable membrane is a selectively permeable membrane which allows the movement of only solvent molecule and not solute molecules through it.

So water can move into or out of the cell through cell membrane by a special physical process known as osmosis.

the water will move from a low concentration gradient to high concentration gradient.
