Answer:

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge. They are present in the same number, but opposite electric charge. ( since the atom is neutral )

Explanation:

if we look at the periodic table we see, for the sodium atom (Na), that the atomic number (Z) is 11. The atomic number is the number of protons. Protons are positive.

Since this sodium atom is neutral, this means that there are the same number of electrons, which are negative. So also 11 electrons.

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge.

Following the formula A = Z + N

Here is A = atomic mass, and is the sum of protons ( same as electrons ) + neutrons

As we can see on the periodic table the atomic mass of Sodium(Na) is 23

23 = 11 + N ⇔ N = 23 -11 = 12 neutrons

2. Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride

4. Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride

1. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 63.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 63.0%

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 63 = 37%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 63.0%

F = 37%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 63.0 / 96 = 0.656

F = 37 / 19 = 1.947

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.656 / 0.656 = 1

F = 1.947 / 0.656 = 3

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₃

Name of compound => Molybdenum trifluoride

2. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 56.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 56.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 56 = 44%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 56%

F = 44%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 56 / 96 = 0.583

F = 44 / 19 = 2.316

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.583 / 0.583 = 1

F = 2.316 / 0.583 = 4

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₄

Name of compound => Molybdenum tetrafluoride

3. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 50.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 50.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 50 = 50%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 50%

F = 50%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 50 / 96 = 0.520

F = 50 / 19 = 2.632

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.520 / 0.520 = 1

F = 2.632 / 0.520 = 5

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₅

Name of compound => Molybdenum pentafluoride

4. Determination of the name and formula of the molybdenum fluoride having 46.0% of molybdenum.

Molybdenum (Mo) = 46.0%,

Fluorine (F) = 100 – 46 = 54%

<h3>Formula =? </h3>

Mo = 46%

F = 54%

Divide by their molar mass

Mo = 46 / 96 = 0.479

F = 54 / 19 = 2.842

Divide by the smallest

Mo = 0.479 / 0.479 = 1

F = 2.842 / 0.479 = 6

Therefore,

Formula of compound => MoF₆

Name of compound => Molybdenum hexafluoride

Consider the following reaction: CH3OH(g)⇌CO(g)+2H2(g) Part A Calculate ΔG for this reaction at 25 ∘C under the following condit

kati45 [8]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta G$ of the reaction at given temperature is -12.964 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$CH_3OH(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+2H_2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for the given reaction:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{CO})\times (p_{H_2}^2)}{p_{CH_3OH}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=0.140atm\\p_{H_2}=0.180atm\\p_{CH_3OH}=0.850atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.140)\times (0.180)^2}{0.850}\\\\K_p=5.34\times 10^{-3}$

To calculate the Gibbs free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G$ = Gibbs' free energy of the reaction = ?

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard gibbs' free energy change of the reaction = 0 J (at equilibrium)

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = Temperature = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $5.34\times 10^{-3}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=0+(8.314J/K.mol\times 298K\times \ln(5.34\times 10^{-3}))\\\\\Delta G=-12963.96J/mol=-12.964kJ/mol$

Hence, the $\Delta G$ of the reaction at given temperature is -12.964 kJ/mol.

DNA replication results in two identical DNA molecules. What role do DNA helicases have in DNA replication?

I'm pretty sure since one chemical can only bind with one other type, um, I think that one side of the DNA helicase helps make the other side?

Calculate the volume of compound Y needed to make a 350 pg/ml treatment solution in 2 ml of 1x PBS using a stock solution contai

harina [27]

Answer:

14 mL

Explanation:

To prepare a solution by a concentrated solution, we must use the equation:

C1xV1 = C2xV2, where <em>C</em> is the concentration, <em>V</em> is the volume, 1 is the initial solution and 2 the final solution.

The final solution must have 2 mL and a concentration of 350 pg/mL, and the initial solution has a concentration of 50 pg/mL.

Then:

50xV1 = 350x2

50xV1 = 700

V1 = 700/50

V1 = 14 mL

salantis [7]

Answer:

-245.7°C es la temperatura del gas bajo 100 torr

Explanation:

Para resolver esta pregunta debemos hacer uso de la ley de Boyle que establece que la presión de un gas es directamente proporcional a la temperatura de este cuando el volumen permanece constante. La ecuación es:

P1T2 = P2T1

<em>Donde P es presión y T temperatura absoluta del estado inicial, 1, y final, 2.</em>

<em />

Reemplazando:

P1 = 1000torr

T2 = ? -Incógnita-

P2 = 100torr

T1 = 273K -Temperatura del hielo fundido = 0°C = 273K

1000torrT2 = 100torr273

T2 = 27.3K

27.3K - 273 =
