How many helium atoms are there in a helium blimp containing 540 kg of helium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
3 0

The answer is 8.13 x 10²⁸ atoms.

First we calculate  the number of moles using the molar mass.

molar mass of helium = <span>4 g/mol. </span>

<span>
it means that 1 mole of helium atoms weighs 4 gram.</span>

Now we have 540 kg of helium =540000 grams

Number of moles in 540000 grams;

540000 / 4 =135000 mol

Now in one mole there is 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

So, in 135000 mol there is;

135000 x 6.02 x 10²³  = 8.13 x 10²⁸atoms

What is restriction enzymes and what is it’s purpose?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:  <u>Endonuclease enzymes used in molecular biology that cut DNA at specified points.</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specific protein types which bind to a substrate within a reaction, to increase the rate of reaction within the solution- they speed up the rate of reaction.

Restriction enzymes are bacteria-derived enzymes; these make cuts on deoxyribonucleic acid molecules or DNA. These are also called  restriction endonucleases. They are utilized in molecular biology for DNA cloning and sequencing and cut DNA into smaller pieces called fragments.

Restriction enzymes make directed cuts on DNA molecules. They precisely target sites on DNA to produce mostly identical or homogenous, discrete fragments of equal sizes, producing blunt or sticky ends. In order to do this, they recognize sequences of nucleotides that correspond with a complementary sequence on the endonuclease called restriction sites.

There are several kinds that may require cofactors (chemical or metallic compounds that aid in enzyme activity)  :

  • Type I: cleave far away from the recognition site; require ATP and  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine

  • Type II: cleave near to the site; require Magnesium

  • Type III: cleave near to the site; require ATP which is not hydrolysed but  SAMe S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine is optional

  • Type IV: cleavage targeted to DNA that have undergone post transcriptional modification through certain types of methylation (addition of a methyl group)

Which of the following is chemically inert ( unreactive)?
IrinaK [193]

(C) neon (atomic number 10)

Explanation:

The atom that is chemically inert is Neon with an atomic number of 10.

An atom is chemically inert if it does not willingly take part in chemical reaction.

Atoms takes part in chemical reactions in order to attain a stable configuration as seen in the noble gases.

In the noble gases every enable level is completely filled with the appropriate number of electrons.

  • The noble gases are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe
  • These elements do not react with others.
  • From the given option, Neon is a noble gas and therefore inert.

Calculate the cell potential for the reaction as written at 25.00 °C 25.00 °C , given that
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

E = 2.02 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the Nernst equation which is:

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

The value of RT/F can be simplified to just 0.059 because we are doing this experiment at 25 °C, and R and F are constants. so we need the value of Q which in this case is:

Q = [Mg²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

We already have the concentrations, so, all we have left is the standard reduction potential, which are:

E° Mg = -2.38 V

E° Ni = -0.25 V

According to the overall reaction:

Mg(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) -------> Mg²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

we can see that one element is reducting and the other is oxidizing, so we need to write the semi equation of reduction for each element:

Mg(s) ---------> Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻     E° = 2.38 V       oxidizing (Value of E° inverted)

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -----------> Ni(s)      E° = -0.25 V     reducting

------------------------------------------------------------

Mg(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) -------> Mg²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)      E° = 2.13 V

We have the value of the standard potential, now we need to replace all given data into the nernst equation to solve for the cell potential:

E = 2.13 - 0.059/2 ln(0.757/0.0160)

E = 2.13 - 0.0295 ln(47.3125)

E = 2.13 - 0.11

E = 2.02 V

This is the cell potential
