A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and abiogenic in origin. A mineral has one specific chemical composition. Coal is not a mineral because it is organic while a mineral is inorganic that have repeating crystalline structure.

[ 1.3 ] What is the concentration (%) of solute in the RBC (i.e., what is the concentration of all solute molecules combined?) A
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

0.9%

Explanation:

At the instance where you add RBCs to a solution of 0.9% NaCl, they will maintain their shape as well as their size, this is simply to indicate an equilibrium. That entails that the solution is isotonic to the RBCs. This must mean that the concentration of solutes on each side must be equal otherwise osmotic pressure would force water either in or out of the membrane. Therefore, one can also safely assume that RBC's also have a solute concentration of 0.9%.

Which of the species below can act as a lewis base? bf3 nf3 oh− alcl3?
IRINA_888 [86]
Among BF₃, NF₃, OH⁻ and ALCl₃ both NF₃ and OH⁻ acts as a lewis base.

Explaination:
According to lewis theory of acid and base, base is a specie which has either lone pair of electrons or is negatively charged. So, in the given compounds Nitrogen trifluoride contain lone pair of electron on nitrogen and Hydroxide contains a negative charge on oxygen. And botha are capable to donate these electrons to a lewis acid (electrophiles).

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 1.2x10^25 diphosphorus pentoxide molecules
insens350 [35]

Answer:

19.9 atoms

Explanation:

Grams --- Moles --- Atoms

You're converting from atoms (molecules) to moles.

You do not have to calculate the mass of "di phosphorus pentoxide."

Since you're already given 1.2x10^25 atoms, you start with that. You need to cancel out the atoms, so you need Avogadro's number as shown in the image.

(This has nothing to do with the problem) But in case if you're wondering, the "di" in phosphorus means there's 2 phosphorus and the "pent" means that there are 5 oxygens. So P2O5. Go to your periodic table, multiply their respective atomic masses. You would multiply phosphorus twice and oxygen 5 times. And add them up to get the overall mass.

I hope this helped!
