Chemistry

All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

If there are <em>more electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>negative ion</em>.

If there are <em>fewer electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>positive ion</em>.

The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The <em>electrons are outside the nucleus</em>, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.

<em>Metals</em> have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and <em>form positive ions</em>.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

Why don't siblings look exactly alike
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Your genes play a big role in making you who you are. ... But brothers and sisters don't look exactly alike because everyone (including parents) actually has two copies of most of their genes. And these copies can be different. Parents pass one of their two copies of each of their genes to their kids.

The enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 x10^4 g/mol. Zn is 0.218% by mass o
tia_tia [17]

The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:

Mass percent = \frac{mass of the compound}{molar mass of the compound}\times 100

Put the values,

0.218 percent of zinc = \frac{mass of zinc}{3.00 \times 10^{4} g/mol}\times 100

mass of zinc = 0.218 \times (3\times 100) g

= 0.654 \times 100 g or 65.4 g

Now, number of moles of zinc  =\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass of zinc}

= \frac{65.4 g}{65.38 g/mol}

= 1.00 mole

Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.

Now, according to mole concept

6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of enzyme consists of 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms of zinc

So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains  =\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}atoms of zinc}{6.022\times 10^{23} }

= 1 atom of zinc.

Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.
