Answer:

The ability to conduct electricity in the solid state is a characteristic of metallic bonding. This characteristic is best explained by the presence of cations

Explanation:

First of all we should know what are the valence electrons. These are the ones that are  involved in the formation of chemical bonds  (for representative elements, blocks s and p)

A cation is an atom which has lost an electron (+ charge).

The metalic atoms lose all the valence electrons, as these atoms remain charged, that is why they are capable of conducting electricity.

For example:

K (s) →  K⁺  +  1e⁻

In the opposite side, the anions are formed when the non metallic elements win electrons to complete the octet rule.

The 10x SDS gel electrophoresis buffer contains 250mM Tris HCl, 1.92M Glycine, and 1% (w/v) SDS. Buffers are always used at 1x c
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

25 mM Tris HCl and 0.1% w/v SDS

Explanation:

A <em>10X solution</em> is ten times more concentrated than a <em>1X solution</em>. The stock solution is generally more concentrated (10X) and for its use, a dilution is required. Thus, to prepare a buffer 1X from a 10X buffer, you have to perform a dilution in a factor of 10 (1 volume of 10X solution is taken and mixed with 9 volumes of water). In consequence, all the concentrations of the components are diluted 10 times. To calculate the final concentration of each component in the 1X solution, we simply divide the concentration into 10:

(250 mM Tris HCl)/10 = 25 mM Tris HCl

(1.92 M glycine)/10 = 0.192 M glycine

(1% w/v SDS)/10 = 0.1% w/v SDS

Therefore the final concentrations of Tris and SDS are 25 mM and 0.1% w/v, respectively.
