The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown (inactive pepsinogen, and in infancy rennin). Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis.

On the pH scale, a 7 indicates _____. a base an acid neutrality

worty [1.4K]

The correct answer is:

neutrality

on the pH scale 7 is neutral above 7 is basic and below 7 is acidic.

Explanation:

The pH is an example of how acidic/basic water is. The scale goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral, pH of less than 7 designates acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 intimates a base. pH is really a pattern of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is.

It is neutral because, at this pH, the molar concentrations of Hydroxide and Hydronium are same, therefore the substance is not a base nor an acid.

Need help with 22 and 24

choli [55]

Answer:

22:

Formular:

$atomic \: mass = \frac{ \sum(isotopic \: mass \times \%abundance)}{100} \\$

substitute:

$atomic \: mass = \frac{(23.985 \times 78.70) + (24.986 \times 10.13) + (25.983 \times 11.17)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{(1887.620) + (253.108) + (290.230)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{2430.958}{100} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{average \: atomic \: mass = 24.3 \: amu}}}$

Explain why the atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group ?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.
