Answer:

23.8g of sodium phosphate are formed

Explanation:

Based on the reaction of sodium, Na, with phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄:

3Na + H₃PO₄ → Na₃PO₄ + 3/2 H₂

3 moles of sodium produce 1 mole of sodium phosphate

To solve this question we must find the moles of sodium in 10g. Using the chemical reaction we can find the moles -And the mass- of sodium phosphate produced, as follows:

Moles Na -Molar mass: 22.99g/mol-

10g * (1mol / 22.99g) = 0.435 moles Na

Moles Na₃PO₄:

0.435 moles Na * (1mol Na₃PO₄ / 3mol Na) = 0.145 moles Na₃PO₄

Mass Na₃PO₄ -Molar mass: 163.94g/mol-

0.145 moles Na₃PO₄ * (163.94g/mol) =

A hydrogen atom requires a minimum energy of 2.18×10^-18 J atom to remove an electron from its ground state level. Determine whe

frosja888 [35]

Just find the energy of the blueviolet light with a wavelength of 434.0 nm using the formula:

E = hc / lambda

E = energy
c= speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
h = planck's constant = 6.6 x 10^{-34} m^2 kg / s
lambda = 434 nm = 434 x 10^{-9} m

Putting these values (with appropriate units) in the above formula :

we get: Energy, E = 4.5 x 10^{-19} J

E = 0.45 x 10^{-18} J

Now, the minimum energy is 2.18×10^-{18} J but our energy is 0.45 x 10^{-18} J which is less.
Means the electron will not be removed

What is the difference between cell and cellmembrane

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

So, a cell, in easiest terms, is "the building blocks of life". Without cells, humans, plants, animals, and anything else that has a cell would not be able to survive. Cells are extremely important to our bodies. Whereas a Cell Membrane is an organelle inside a cell. The Cell Membrane's job is to provide protection for the cell, as well as deciding which substances can enter and exit the cell.

I hope this helps!
