Answer:

The average atomic weight = 121.7598 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic weight of natural occurring antimony can be calculated as follows :

To calculate the average atomic mass the percentage abundance must be converted to decimal.

121 Sb has a percentage abundance of 57.21%, the decimal format will be

57.21/100 = 0.5721 . The value is the fractional abundance of 121 Sb .

123 Sb has a percentage abundance of 42.79%, the decimal format will be

42.79/100 = 0.4279. The value is the fractional abundance of 123 Sb .

Next step is multiplying the fractional abundance to it masses

121 Sb = 0.5721 × 120.904 = 69.169178400

123 Sb = 0.4279 × 122.904 = 52.590621600

The final step is adding the value to get the average atomic weight.

69.169178400 + 52.590621600 = 121.7598 amu

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that the electron carriers move inside the inner mitochondrial membrane and consequently move electrons from one to another. In such a way, they are mobile, therefore they are largely hydrophobic as long as they are inside the membrane.

For instance, the cytochrome c is a water-soluble protein in a large range, therefore, the answer is: C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic.

Best regards.

What is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? what is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? ch2o cho c2h5o c2h4o cho2?
stira [4]

Empirical formula: The formula consist of proportions of the elements which is present in the compound or the simplest whole number ratios of atoms.

Now, molecular formula is equal to the product of n (ratio) and empirical formula.

Molecular formula = n\times empirical formula    (1)

molecular formula =C_{12}H_{24}O_{6} (given)

Since, 6 is the smallest subscript in above molecular formula to get the simpler whole number of atoms. Therefore, divide all the subscripts i.e. number of carbon atoms (12), number of hydrogen atoms (24) and number of oxygen atoms (6) by 6.

empirical formula becomes C_{2}H_{4}O

Thus, according to the formula (1)

C_{12}H_{24}O_{6} = 6\times C_{2}H_{4}O

Hence, empirical formula of given molecular formula is C_{2}H_{4}O
