Answer:

4 electrons

Explanation:

Carbon, is the group 14 element, with four electrons in its outer shell. Carbon always shares electrons to reach a complete valence shell, making bonds with other atoms.

What are the two main types of energy?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Fourth option

Explanation:

They're many different types of energy, from chemical and mechanical to heat and solar energy. But the two most basic types of energy are "kinetic and potential energy" or the fourth option. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has when it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has when it's as rest. These two specific types of energies are the most basic and you can even convert them into many different types of energies, like heat or electrical energy.

Hope this helps.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.

ziro4ka [17]

a) The charge on the outer surface is $1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b) The number of ions is $7.5\cdot 10^6$

Explanation:

a)

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

$\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$ is the surface area

$d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m$ is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

$C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F$

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}$

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

$\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V$ is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

$Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b)

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

$Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

$+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6$
