In order to understand the meaning of the word "indigenous" , we have to break the word as

Indi + gen + ous

Here "Gen" means birth (like genesis: generation of something)

"Ous" means bearing some properties related to something

like marvelous : having property known as marvel.

Thus indigenous means having property of place where birth was taken

Thus it is originating in a particular region

The word root "gen" means "birth," and the suffix "-ous" means "having the quality of something."

How many moles of water are in 1.23x10^18 water molecules

Harlamova29_29 [7]

By 1.23 x 1024 you mean 10 to the power of 24 molecules? If so all you need to do is divide the number of molecules you have by Avagadros number, 6.022 x 10^23. This will give you the mols of water, or the mols of anything, since there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules in 1 mol of substance.

1.23x10^24 atoms/6.022x10^23 atom/mol = 2.04 mol H20

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

What happens to the area of the world off the coast of Peru

joja [24]

Answer:The Peruvian west coast bordering the Pacific Ocean is a long desert strip that stretches from the departments of Tumbes in the north bordering Ecuador, to Tacna in the south bordering Chile for a total length of 1,555 miles or 2,500 km. The average temperature from December to April is 25 to 28C or 53 to 59F and the average temperature from May to November is 12 to 15C or 53 to 59F.

The coast covers about 10% of the territory but is home to more than 50% of the population. Large cities such as Lima, the capital, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Tacna are located in the coast. Cities along the coast are the center of economic activity attracting people from the interior of the country looking for economic prosperity.

idk hope this helps !!!!

The concentration of HCl can be determined by titration with a primary standard such as Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate). The titration

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The concentration of HCl is 0.275 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Na2CO3 = 0.521 grams

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.99 g/mol

Volume of HCl = 35.7 mL

Step 2: The balanced equation:

2HCl + Na2CO3 → 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O

CO3(2-) + 2H+ ---> H2O + CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles of Na2CO3

Moles Na2CO3 = mass Na2CO3 / Molar mass Na2CO3

Moles Na2CO3 = 0.521 grams / 105.99 g/mol

Moles Na2CO3 = 0.0049 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of HCl

For 1 mol of Na2CO3 consumed, we need 2 moles of HCl

moles of HCL = 2 * 0.0049 = 0.0098 moles HCl

Step 5: Calculate molarity of HCl

Molarity = number of moles of HCl / Volume (liters)

Molarity = 0.0098 moles / 0.0357 L

Molarity = 0.275 M

The concentration of HCl is 0.275 M
