Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

Alkali metals are group of metals which are present in first group of periodic table. As we know atomic number is equal to number of protons contained by a particular element. Therefore, the alkali metals along with there number of protons are listed below;

Alkali Metal Number of Protons

Lithium 3

Sodium 11

Potassium 19

Rubidium 37

Cesium 55

Francium 87

Hence, it is cleared from above table that Lithium is having fewer protons than 10.

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO_3)

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.

The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens spontaneously or by a third party.

A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas

2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂

These two, are the products of the decomposition.

Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate

The balanced equation is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

What do you mean by antibodies

eduard

Ans: a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
