Answer : The mass of arsenic present in 5.0 g of orpiment is, 1.5 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of orpiment = 5.0 g

As we know that the molar mass of As_2S_3 is, 246.02 g/mol and the molar mass of As is, 75 g/mol.

As per the question, we conclude that:

As, 246.02 g of As_2S_3 contains mass of arsenic = 75 g

So, 5.0 g of As_2S_3 contains mass of arsenic = \frac{5.0}{246.02}\times 75=1.5g

Thus, the mass of arsenic present in 5.0 g of orpiment is, 1.5 grams.

What is the formula of titanium(IV) bromide?
Anna [14]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{SnBr}_{4}}

Explanation:

The name tells you that this is a binary compound (contains two elements).

It contains a metal and a nonmetal, so it is a binary ionic compound. The general rule is:

Name of compound = name of metal  name of ion (two words)

Name of metal = tin(IV), so the tin ion has a charge of 4+

Name of ion = bromide. Br is in Group 17, so bromide ion has charge of 1-.

\rm Sn$^{4+}$ + 4Br$^{-} \longrightarrow \,$ SnBr$_{4}$\\\\\text{The formula is} \boxed{\textbf{SnBr}_{4}}

What are the similarities between nucleotides?
Nonamiya [84]

Nucleotides are organic molecules consisting of a nucleoside and a phosphate.

They serve as monomeric units of the nucleic acid polymers – deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth. Nucleotides are obtained in the diet and are also synthesized from common nutrients by the liver.

Nucleotides are composed of three subunit molecules: a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group consisting of one to three phosphates. The four nucleobases in DNA are guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine; in RNA, uracil is used in place of thymine.

Nucleotides also play a central role in metabolism at a fundamental, cellular level. They provide chemical energy—in the form of the nucleoside triphosphates, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP)—throughout the cell for the many cellular functions that demand energy, including: amino acid, protein and cell membrane synthesis, moving the cell and cell parts (both internally and intercellularly), cell division, etc.

Would an earthquake support the principle of unoformitarianism or the principle of catastrophism?

An earthquake would support the principle of catastrophism because it causes catastraphies in its quakes and shakes.

HNO2 + CaCO3 = H2CO3 + Ca(NO2)<br><br> Can someone please balance this equation?!?!
katen-ka-za [31]
Balanced equation

So we see from inspection that H is not balanced. And by balancing H we have to add 2(NO2) and 2H

So the balanced equation is;

2HNO2 + CaCO3 = H2CO3 + Ca(NO2)2
