How many atoms are there in 10.2 moles of Phosphorous?​
nikdorinn [45]

There are 2.06 x 10²⁴ atoms

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The mole is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions)contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³  particles

Moles can also be determined from the amount of substance mass and its molar mass

  • number of atoms :

\tt 10.2\times 6.02\times 106{23}=2.06\times 10^{24}

The table below lists the properties of a metallic element. Shiny, Silver colored, Forms +1 and +2 ions, compound with sulfur is
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Group 12

Explanation:

A metallic element that is shiny and silver colored that can exist in the +1 and +2 ionic states and  which forms a bright red compound with sulfur is mercury, Hg

The compound formed between mercury and silver is one of the earliest synthetic compound also known as vermilion and cinnabar. The bright red pigment of the HgS is used widely and is one of the most favorite pigment found in medieval European outstanding works of arts and in Chinese decorated wares made of lacquer as well as in mesoAmerica.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of  HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C)  pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)=  9.3979

If we consider the  Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

Heredity is defined as
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

B.

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.
