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

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
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.

What is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The reaction will absorb energy

Explanation:

A potential energy diagram shows the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. It is also called a reaction progress curve. The diagram shows the changes that occur as reactants are converted into products.

The best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction is that the reaction will absorb energy.

Compared to the mass and the penetrating power of an alpha particle, a beta particle has(1) less mass and greater penetrating po
seropon [69]

Answer is (1) - less mass and greater penetrating power.


Alpha particle is a ₂⁴He nucleus while beta particles are electrons. Hence, the mass of alpha particle is greater than the mass of beta particle. But, the penetrating power is higher in beta particle than alpha particle. Alpha particles can be blocked by few papers but beta particles can go through those papers.

How many molecules are in 15.0 milliliters of ethanol (C2H3OH)(The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL)
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1.57×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of ethanol = ?

Volume of ethanol = 15.0 mL

Density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Solution:

Mass of ethanol :

Density = mass/ volume

0.789 g/mL = mass/ 15.0 mL

Mass = 0.789 g/mL× 15.0 mL

Mass = 11.84 g

Number of moles of ethanol:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 11.84 g / 46.07 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.26 mol

1  mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.26 mol × 6.022×10²³ molecules / 1mol

1.57×10²³ molecules

Which statement best describes a true solution?
kari74 [83]

Option C: a true solution will not separate in a centrifuge.

A solution is said to be a true solution if the solute particles form homogeneous mixture with the solvent. In a homogeneous mixture, the size of the particle of solute is less than 1 nm, can not be seen from naked ice. In such solutions, the solute particles completely dissolves in solvent in all proportions and cannot settle down at bottom if kept at rest for some time.

As complete dissolution of solute takes place, there is no cloudy appearance in the true solution also, once the solution is formed solute and solvent particles can not be separated with simple processes such as heating, boiling and centrifugation.

For example, solution of sugar and water, sugar particles completely dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixture or true solution.

Therefore, a true solution will not separate in a centrifuge.
