Answer:

O: 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 7.7 × 10² g

Explanation:

Natural abundances of elements in the human body (in percent by mass)

  • oxygen (O), 65%
  • carbon (C), 18%
  • hydrogen (H), 10%
  • nitrogen (N), 3.0%
  • calcium (Ca), 1.6%
  • phosphorus (P), 1.2%
  • all other elements, 1.2%

The mass of a body is 64 kg = 64 × 10³ g = 6.4 × 10⁴ g. We can calculate the mass of each element by <em>multiplying the body weight by the mass percent of each element</em>.

O: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 65% = 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 18% = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 10% = 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 3.0% = 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.6% = 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g

Natural abundances in mass percent are:

O = 65%

C = 18%

H = 10%

N = 3.0%

Ca = 1.6%

P = 1.2%

Corresponding weights of the elements are:

O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g

C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g

H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g

N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g

Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g

P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.
nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

1. Explain how groups 1A-8A in the periodic table are organized by their number of valence electrons.

The valence electrons in an atom are the outermost shell electrons. They are the most loosely held electrons in an atom.

Coincidentally, the periodic table of elements divided into vertical groups and horizontal periods can be said to be arranged according to the number of valence electrons.

  • Atomic numbers are used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
  • Down a group, the number of electronic shell increases. More electrons are added to new energy levels.
  • As we move from left to right across a period, the number of electrons in elements increases but electronic shell is the same.
  • Down a group electronic shell increases but the number of valence electrons are the same.
  • All elements in Group 1A has just one valence electrons, Group 2A has two valence electrons.........Group 8A has eight valence electrons.
  • Moving across groups is synonymous to moving from left to right on the periodic table.
  • Due to this trend, the periodic table is arranged based on the number of valence electrons.

3. explain how you know the number of valence electrons for each group.

The number of valence electrons in a group is the group number:

   Group      Number                     valence electrons

              1A                                                 1

              2A                                                2

              3A                                                 3

              4A                                                 4

               5A                                                5

               6A                                                6

               7A                                                7

               8A                                                8

If the distance between two objects is decreased to - of the original
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new force will be \frac{1}{100} of the original force.

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we're dealing with the law of gravitational attraction. The law states that the gravitational force between two object is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of a distance between them.

That said, let's say that our equation for the initial force is:

F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^2}The problem states  that  the distance decrease to 1/10 of the original distance, this means:[tex]R_2 = \frac{1}{10}R

And the force at this distance would be written in terms of the same equation:

F_2 = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R_2^2}

Find the ratio between the final and the initial force:

\frac{F_2}{F} = \frac{G\frac{m_1m_2}{R_2^2}}{G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^2}}

Substitute the value for the final distance in terms of the initial distance:

\frac{F_2}{F} = \frac{G\frac{m_1m_2}{(\frac{R}{10})^2}}{G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^2}}

Simplify:

\frac{F_2}{F} = \frac{\frac{1}{100R^2}}{\frac{1}{R^2}}=\frac{1}{100}

This means the new force will be \frac{1}{100} of the original force.

Choose the atom with:
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a )Li

b)O

c)F

Explanation:

a) Li-1s^2 2s^1

F-1s^2 2s^2 2p^5

it is easy to pull out e- from 2p orbit than 2s because 2s orbit is close to nucleus.Therefore Li have high ionisation enthalpy

b)oxygen ion is larger than Na because o have fewer proton

c)F because it requires only 1e to achieve stable noble gas configuration.Therefore to achieve stable nobke gas electonic configuration it accept 1e.

What is altered by a catalyst?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:Effect of Catalysts on the Activation Energy. Catalysts provide a new reaction pathway in which a lower Activation energy is offered. A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy so that more reactant molecules collide with enough energy to surmount the smaller energy barrier.
