Answer:
C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell
Explanation:
Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.
It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.
It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.
D. is wrong, for the same reason.
A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.
C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.
Hello!
The process in which hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements is called Nuclear Fusion.
Nuclear Fusion happens when the repulsion between the two nuclei is overcome by the Strong Interaction Force, spending and releasing high amounts of energy.
The two nuclei need to be close enough for Nuclear Fusion to happen, and the energy needed to achieve that is given by the extremely hot temperatures that exist within stars (about 15 000 000 Kelvin). That's why this kind of reactions are common in stars.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient
Explanation:
ΔGt = RT㏑(C₂/C₁)
where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.
For Ca²⁺ import
ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)
ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol
For H⁺ import
ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)
ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol
From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient
The pH of the solution : 12

Reaction
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O
mol HCOOH =
mol NaOH =
Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]
ICE method :
HCOOH + NaOH ⇒ HCOONa + H₂O
4 5
4 4 4 4
0 1 1 1
Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :
pOH=-log[OH⁻]
pOH=-log 10⁻²=2
pH+pOH=14
pH=14-2=12
