The number of electrons is not equal to number protons if...?

In lipid bilayers, there is an order-to-disorder transition similar to the melting of a crystal. Comparing a lipid bilayer that

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The lipid bilayer made up of Palmitic acid will have a higher melting transition temperature

Explanation:

The one with a higher melting transition temperature is the lipid layer with a higher melting temperature

Melting temperature of palmitoleic acid = -0.5°C

Melting temperature of palmitic acid = 62.9°C

Hence the lipid bilayer made up of Palmitic acid will have a higher melting transition temperature

For the oxidation-reduction reaction equation given here 4ga+p4 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of

sergij07 [2.7K]

The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e- ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.

Why can’t there be a temperature lower than absolute zero

Firdavs [7]

Atoms cannot physically get more compact (temperature lowering increases the space between atoms) At absolute zero, the atoms are as physically close together as allowed by the physical laws governing it.

Assume that the test tube shown started out having 10.00 g of mercury(II) oxide. After heating the test tube briefly, you find 1

anyanavicka [17]

This problem is providing information about the initial mass of mercury (II) oxide (10.00 g) which is able to produce liquid mercury (8.00 g) and gaseous oxygen and asks for the resulting mass of the latter, which turns out to be 0.65 g after doing the corresponding calculations.

Initially, it is given a mass of 10.00 g of the oxide and 1.35 g are left which means that the following mass is consumed:

$m_{HgO}^{consumed}=10.00g-1.35 g=8.65 g$

Now, since 8.00 grams of liquid mercury are collected, it is possible to calculate the grams of oxygen that were produced, by considering the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of the products equal that of the reactants as it is nor destroyed nor created. In such a way, the mass of oxygen turns out to be:

$m_{O_2}=8.65g-8.00g=0.65g$
