 The  number of   moles  of salt  in  one tablespoon  is 0.109  moles


 calculation

moles  of NaCl  salt  is  calculated using moles =  mass/molar  mass  formula


mass of  NaCl  salt = 6.37 grams

molar mass  of NaCl  salt = 58.5 g /mol


moles  is therefore=  6.37  g / 58.5 g/mol  = 0.109  moles

There are 0.109 moles of NaCl in one tablespoon of salt. This is found by dividing the number of grams you have by the molecular weight.

Table salt is a refined salt containing about 97 to 99% sodium Chloride iodized salt containing potassium iodide is widely avail
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

Scientist have genetically altered a common virus so that it can Destroy the most lethal type of brain tumor without harming the
sergey [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is - discovering or diagnosing the disease.

Explanation:

According to the question, this technology includes genetically modifying a common virus in order to destroy or kill the deadly brain tumor without affecting normal cells around the tumor, this technique is genetic engineering.

This technique can help in treating or curing the disease by killing the tumor cells and make them non-lethal. It can also prevent the tumor cells to grow and make them controlled. There is nothing mention related to diagnosing the disease in the question and it is not possible to find this tumor with help of such a technique.

What happens to a Lithium atom for it to become an Li+1 ion?
Maru [420]

Answer:

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.
