Differentiate between a single atom of gold and a single atom of lead. (No Multiple Choice)

1 answer:

7 0

Lead has a different chemistry than most biological metals, but it can mimic some of them, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, because it tends to form 2+ ion like other metals, and these can be formed inside the body. Due to it different chemistry, lead prevents normal functioning of the enzymes it binds to, inhibiting them and poisoning the body.

Gold rarely forms ions, unless under extreme conditions that are not present in the human body. Gold ions, when ingested, are actually very toxic, so gold poisoning is possible. But because gold are so rare, gold poisoning is also a rare phenomenon.

How many atoms are in 5 mole of water?<br> Steps

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of water = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

5 moles of water = Z atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 mole = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 5 moles)

Z•mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole

Divide both sides by 1 mole

Z•mole/1 mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole/ 1 mole

Z = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms

[Place the value of Z in standard form]

Z = 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Thus, there are 3.01 x 10^24 atoms in 5 mole of water

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The concentrations of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Explanation:

Moles of $Cl_2$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{10g}{71g/mol}=0.14mol$

Volume of solution = 1 L

Initial concentration of $Cl_2$ = $\frac{0.14mol}{1L}=0.14M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$COCl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.14 M 0 M 0M

At eqm. conc. (0.14-x) M (x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[CO]\times [Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.63\times 10^{-3}=\frac{x)^2}{(0.14-x)}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.023 M

Thus, the concentrations of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium is 0.023 M

What type of substance is gravel

allsm [11]

Answer:

When substances do not mix thoroughly and evenly (like sand and gravel), the mixture is said to be heterogeneous. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances. Another example of a mixture is salt dissolved in water.

Hope it helps!
