Answer:

Fluorine is a non-metal, fills its shell by gaining one electron and becomes a negatively charged ion.

Explanation:

Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell. This means that fluorine is located in Group 17(Halogens) in the Periodic Table. Note that halogens are non-metal elements. So fluorine is a non-metal.

Fluorine fills its shell by gaining one electron because it only needs one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. ( it's easier to gain one electron than to lose all seven electrons in the outermost shell)

As fluorine atom gain one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement, its number of electrons becomes greater than its number of protons. So it becomes a negatively charged ion.

When 1 mol of sodium nitrate, is dissolved in 1 cubic decimeter of water, 40 kJ of heat energy is absorbed. What is the drop in

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1.0 ° C

Explanation:

The molar mass for Sodium Nitrate NaNO₃ = (23+14+(16×3)) = 85

Number of moles of NaNO₃ = mass of NaNO₃ /molar mass of NaNO₃

⇒ 17/85 = 1.38 moles

Since 1 mole of NaNO₃ dissolved in 1 cubic decimeter of water, 40 kJ of heat energy is absorbed.

when 1.38 mole of NaNO₃ dissolved in 1 cubic decimeter of water, x kJ of heat energy is absorbed..

Then; x kJ of 1.38 mole of NaNo₃ = 1.38 × 40 kJ =55.2 kJ of heat absorbed.

Using the relation : Q = mcΔT to determine the temperature drop ; we get:

55.2 = 17 × 4 (ΔT)

55.2 = 68 ΔT

ΔT= 0.8 ° C

ΔT ≅ 1.0 ° C

Therefore, the drop in temperature when 17.0g of sodium nitrate is dissolved in 1 cubic decimeter of water is 1.0 ° C

What determines the shape and function of a protein?

Aleks [24]

The function is determined by shape. The protein is determined by its primary structure which is the sequence of amino acids.
Amino acid sequence is determined by nucleotides in the gene (DNA)

Precision relates to how close the answers are to each other, so I’d think it would be D because of the limited range between data points.
