Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.

A mixture of hydrogen and argon gases is maintained in a 6.47 L flask at a pressure of 3.43 atm and a temperature of 85 °C. If t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The mixture contains 8.23 g of Ar

Explanation:

Let's solve this with the Ideal Gases Law

Total pressure of a mixture = (Total moles . R . T) / V

We convert T° from °C to K → 85°C + 273 = 358K

3.43 atm = (Moles . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 358K) / 6.47L

(3.43 atm . 6.47L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 358K) = Moles

0.756= Total moles from the mixture

Moles of Ar + Moles of H₂ = 0.756 moles

Moles of Ar + 1.10 g / 2g/mol = 0.756 moles

Moles of Ar = 0.756 moles - 0.55 moles H₂ → 0.206

We convert the moles to g → 0.206 mol . 39.95 g / 1 mol = 8.23 g

Determine the oxidation state of each of the following species.<br> Pb2+
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Pb oxidation number is +2

C in CH4 is -4. H is +1. 4H + 1C = 0. ; 4(+1) + C = 0 ; C = -4

O is usually -2. 3O = 3(-2) = -6. ; 2Fe =. +6 ; each Fe is +3

2Ag = +2 since O = -2 ; each Ag = +1

What would be the volume in millilitres of a blood sample of 2.15 microliters (ul)?​
Zanzabum

2.15 x 10⁻³mL

Explanation:

Given parameter:

    Volume of blood sample in uL = 2.15uL

Conversion           uL → mL

   micro- and milli-  are both prefixes of sub-units.

liter is a unit of volume of a substance.

       micro - is 10⁻⁶

       milli- is of the order 10⁻³

The problem is converting from micro to milli:

     if we multiply  10⁻⁶ by 10³ we would have our milli;

  1000uL = 1mL

  2.15uL :   2.15uL x \frac{1mL}{1000uL} = 2.15 x 10⁻³mL
