Answer:

\boxed{\text{66.2 A}}

Explanation:

1. Write the equation for the reaction.

M_r:                 24.30

          MgCl₂ ⟶ Mg + Cl₂

m/g:                   60.0

2. Calculate the moles of Mg

Moles of Mg = 60.0 g Mg × (1 mol Mg/ 24.30 g Mg) = 2.469 mol Mg

3. Calculate the moles of electrons

Moles of electrons = 2.469 mol Mg × (2 mol electrons/1 mol Mg)

= 4.938 mol electrons

4. Calculate the number of coulombs

Q = 4.938 mol electrons × (96 485 C/1 mol electrons) = 476 500 C

5. Calculate the current required

Q  = It

I = Q/t

t = 2.00 h × (60 min/1h) × (60 s/1 min) = 7200 s

I = 476 500 C/7600 s= 66.2 C/s = 66.2 A

You need a current of \boxed{\textbf{66.2 A}}.

Specific amino acids that line the selectivity filter of the K channel can dehydrate K and allow passage of that ion but cannot
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Hi

True

Explanation:

Since on the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane, a series of negatively charged amino acids are found, which increase the local concentration of cations. The path of the ions begins on the inner surface filled with water molecules where the ion can retain its hydration sphere. Two thirds of its interior in the membrane the inside of the channel narrows in the region of the selectivity filter, forcing the ion to separate from the water molecules. Oxygen atoms in the selectivity filter replace the water molecules in the K+ hydration sphere, forming a series of coordination spheres through which the ion moves. The preferential stabilization of K+ against Na+ is the basis of the ion selectivity of this filter.

Damaged lungs are most sensitive to blank incurable diseases that can cause death
FinnZ [79.3K]

This kind of damage occurs repeatedly, it may lead to permanent damage to your lungs that could cause a lower quality of life. Ozone may aggravate chronic lung diseases, such as emphysema and bronchitis. Scientists are concerned that repeated short-term damage from ozone exposure may permanently injure the lung

Which of the following is NOT an indication of a chemical reaction?
PolarNik [594]
A. The substance dissolved. Just because a substance dissolved in a solvent doesn’t mean that a chemical action occurred. For example, if you put sugar in water as stir, it will dissolve, but the chemical make up of the sugar and the water don’t change. A chemical reaction can be indicated by a drastic change in color or temperature or if a substance precipitate.

Hope this helped :)

2. Would you measure a pencil in meters? A hallway in millimeters? Discuss
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Measuring a pencil in meters would be very difficult, as a single meter is much longer than one pencil. Also, measuring a hallway in millimeters would be very difficult considering how small millimeters are in comparison to a hallway. However, if you switch these two then they would work very well.
