Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is Na^+ and one anion whose chemical symbol is Cl^-

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms  Na^+ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms Cl^-.

For a formula unit of sodium chloride,  the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

Na^+ and  Cl^- combine to form neutral NaCl

Calculate the amount of water required to prepare 500g of 2.5% solution of sugar.
Snowcat [4.5K]

(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:

mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass

mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g  

Then now we can calculate the amount of water:

solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water

mass of water =  solution mass - mass of sugar

mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

(ii) We use the following reasoning:

If       500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar

Then    X g solution contains 75 g sugar

X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution

Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution

Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2 , how much of the energy in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.

Isn’t urgent the first 3 will be marked BRAINIEST
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Al2(SO4)3 and Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

1. Al has a charge of 3-, and SO4 of 2-

when you cross multiply the charges you get

Al2 and (SO4)3

*the reason theres a bracket around the sulfate ion is that the charge 3 is not for oxygen only, but the entire sulphate ion*

Hence, Al2(SO4)3

2. Mg has a charge of 2- and OH of 1-

again cross multiply

Mg (you dont need to add the 1) and (OH)2

again, the bracket around OH means the charge appiles to Oxygen AND hydrogen

hence, Mg(OH)2
