The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. In an uncharged atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. For example, carbon atoms include six protons and six electrons, so carbon's atomic number is 6.
Answer:
63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass
Explanation:
<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>
The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:
<em>Mass water:</em>
3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water
<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>
0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.
<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>
0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>
0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O
<em>Mass percent:</em>
2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =
<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
Membranes are barriers and “gatekeepers”, they only let certain molecules pass through them.
they also transport nutrients to the cell
