Answer:

-1.08\times 10^{23} mol/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Diffusion coefficient,D=1.5\times 10^{-18} m^2/s

Thickness of membrane,dx=12nm=12\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Area,A=12\times 12=144nm^2=144\times 10^{-18} m^2

Concentration differences,dc=0.60 mol/dm^3=0.60\times 1000=600mol/m^3

We have to find the flow rate of sodium ions.

Flow rate,\frac{dn}{dt}=-DA\frac{dc}{dx}

Using the formula

\frac{dn}{dt}=-\frac{1.5\times 10^{-18}\times (144\times 10^{-18})\times 600}{12\times 10^{-9}}=-1.08\times 10^{23} mol/s

\frac{dn}{dt}=-1.08\times 10^{23} mol/s

Suppose a new group 5A element is discovered. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) reveals that its last two peaks occur at 1370 kJ/
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element =

1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

Explanation:

The average valence electron energy =  (number of electrons in s subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) + (number of electrons in p subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) / total number of electrons in both subshells of the valence shells.

The 5A elements are non-metals like Nitrogen and Phosphorus with the metallic character increasing as you go down the group, So a new 5A element will have characteristics of its group with 5 valence electron in its outermost shell represented as ns2 np3

Therefore  the average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element will be calculated as

The average valence electron energy = (2 x 1370  kJ/mol + 3 x 777 kJ/mol.) / 5

2740+2331/ 5 =5071/5

=1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

Which system is not directly connected to itself
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

B) Digestive

Explanation:

The system is dependent in the digestive system because it sends the nutrients to the bones and this helps the bone growth and the repair. It can not be A. since the skeleton system is connected with the muscular system physically, this is to protect muscles and allow the skeletal muscles to make the bones move, so this system is connected with itself with the help of the muscular system! The endocrine is somewhat connected with the nervous system, they are both essential to the communication and response system. This eliminates A and C and leaves you with B!
