The total number of atoms is 3.

Make sure to not confuse elements with atoms. Elements are substances used in a chemical equation that cannot be broken down. There are two elements in H2O: hydrogen and oxygen.

Atoms in the compound is the number of elements. Hydrogen would be one atom, but since it has a subscript of 2, it would mean that there are two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen is another atom, however, it does not have a subscript. Don't make that fool you because there is actually a subscript which is the understood one. That is why there are three atoms.

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

Indicators show changes in the pH of a solution

Explanation:

A pH meter is an instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in aqueous solutions, indicating the acidity or alkalinity of the solution expressed as pH .The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is sometimes referred to as a potentiometric pH meter. Potentiometric pH meters measure the voltage between two electrodes and display the result converted into the corresponding pH value. The instrument comprises of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, or alternatively a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested.

Organic indicators are chemical species that change their colour in response to changes in the pH of the solution. This implies that the anionic and protonated forms of the indicator possess different colours. Hence the colour changes in acidic, basic and neutral solutions. The images attached indicate the colour changes in phenolphthalein and methyl orange in acidic and basic media accordingly.

Which of the following would NOT diffuse through the plasma membrane by means of simple diffusion?1 oxygen2 glucose3 a steroid h

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.

Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.

How much salt (NaCl) is carried by a river flowing at 30.0 m3/s and containing 50.0 mg/L of salt

denis23 [38]

Answer:

129,600kg/day

Explanation:

The river is flowing at 30.0

1 m³ is equivalent to 1000L

flowrate of river = 30*1000 =30,000L/s

Convert L/s to litre per day by multiplying by 24*60*60

flowrate of river = 30,000 * 24*60*60 L/day

= 2,592,000,000L/day

if the river contains 50mg of salt in 1L of solution

lets find how many mg of salt Y is contained in 2,592,000,000L/day

by cross multiplying we have

Y= $\frac{2592000000*50}{1}$

Y= 129,600,000,000 mg/day

convert this value to kg/day by dividing by 1 million

Y= 129,600,000,000/1000000

Y= 129,600kg/day
