An element has an atomic number of 27. How many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element

How do seismologists, or scientists who study earthquakes, know that the largest known earthquake to hit the region occurred aro

denis23 [38]

Answer:

By looking at the amount of time between the P and S wave on a seismographs recorded on a seismograph, scientists can tell how far away the earthquake was from that location. However, they can't tell in what direction from the seismograph the earthquake was, only how far away it was.

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium cannot bind on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will not bind.

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it can bind with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon will not bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

Calculate the osmotic pressure associated with 50.0 g of an enzyme of molecular weight 98 g/mol dissolved in water to give 2600

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

π = 4,882 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the osmotic pressure (π), the Van´t Hoff equation must be used, which is:

π x V = n x R x T

Where:

• π: Osmotic pressure, which is the difference between the levels of the solution and the pure solvent through a semipermeable membrane, which allows the passage of the solvent but not the solute

• V: Volume of the solution, in liters unit

• n: Number of moles of solute

• R: Constant of ideal gases, equal to 0.08206 L.atm / mol.K

• T: Absolute temperature, in Kelvin degrees

With the data you provide you can calculate the osmotic pressure by clearing it from the equation, we would be equal to:

π = (n x R x T) / V

However, all data must first be converted to the corresponding units in order to replace the values in the equation.

Solution volume ⇒ go from mL to L: 

1000 mL of solution ____ 1 L

2600 mL of solution _____ X = 2.6 L

Calculation: 2600 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 2.6 L

Temperature ⇒ Go from ° C to K 

T (K) = t (° C) + 273.15 = 30.0 ° C + 273.15 = 303.15 K

Number of moles of solute ⇒ It can be calculated since we have the mass of the enzyme and its molecular mass:

98.0 g of enzyme ____ 1 mol

50.0 g of enzyme _____ X = 0.510 moles

Calculation: 50.0 g x 1 mol / 98.0 g = 0.510 moles

Now, you can replace the values in the Van´t Hoff equation and you will get the result:

π = (n x R x T) / V

π = (0.510 mol x 0.08206 L.atm / mol.K x 303.15 K) / 2.6 L = 4.882 atm

Therefore, the osmotic pressure will be 4,882 atm
