Remember that the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of protons you have to look and see the atomic mass of the atom is equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of neutrons you have too subtract the atomic mass to the atomic number.

Example:

You want to find out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in Platinum:

  • Atomic number is equal to the number of protons:
  • 78 = 78
  • So platinum has 78 protons and electrons.
  • Subtract atomic mass to atomic number:
  • 195 - 78 = 117 (forgetting about the decimals)

So platinum has "78 protons, and electrons, and has 117 neutrons."

Hope this helps!

SashulF [63]

Answer:11,508 liters per week

Explanation: Since the turner family uses 548 liters per day and the hill family uses 3 times that much you would multiple 548 by 3 giving you 1,644 liters per day. 1,644 liters is the amount of water they use in one day so you would have to multiply the amount of water used in one day with the total days of the week. Therefore 1,644x7= 11,508 liters per week.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

cause cells to shrink due to an increase in the osmolarity of extracellular fluid.

Explanation:

Normovolemic describes the situation in which a living organism maintains a normal volume or amount of blood in the body.

A hyperosmotic solution can be defined as a solution having an increased level of osmotic pressure. Thus, when there's a greater amount of solute with respect to another solution in a membrane with close similarities, it is known as hyperosmotic solution.

Basically, hyperosmotic solution gives rise to higher difference between solutes and similar solutions.

Hence, when a normovolemic person consumes a large quantity of a hyperosmotic solution, it will cause cells to shrink due to an increase in the osmolarity of extracellular fluid i.e the total number of solute particles with respect to the concentration of a solution (Osm/L).
