Answer:

Cl-

Explanation:

When chlorine reacts with other substances, it usually forms the chloride ion (Cl-). This is because it has seven valence electrons, and in order to gain a full octet, it has to gain one electron (which has a negative charge). For example, when it reacts with Sodium (Na), the product is table salt (NaCl) because chlorine takes one electron from sodium and becomes Cl-. Sodium also becomes Na+, because it loses one electron.

1. How is the atom count for each element on the reactant side of a balanced chemical equation related to the atom count for eac

lbvjy [14]

Answer: The atom count for each element on the reactant side of a balanced chemical equation is equal to the atom count for each element on the product side of the same equation

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

Thus there are 4 atoms of hydrogen on reactant as well as product side.

Also there are 2 atoms of oxygen on reactant as well as product side.

Is the dissolving of copper (ii) chloride in water a chemical change or a physical change why?

bija089 [108]

It would be a chemical change because the chloride water would have an effect on the copper. A way to tell if something is a chemical or physical change is that chemical change is not reversible. Physical change can be reversed. For example, water can be physically changed into ice, and it can go back into water. Hope this helps!

A diploid somatic ("body") cell has 2n = 20 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have ______ chromosomes

kozerog [31]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, 2n = 20

At the end of meiosis I, n = 10

At the end of meiosis II, n = 10

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which daughter cell produced are genetically identical to their mother cell. So, no. of chromosome does not change after mitosis.

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have <u>20</u> chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which mother cell produces two haploid cells ones with a single set of chromosomes.

Meiosis is a two step cell division, Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

In meiosis I, homologous pair separates, so no. of chromosomes becomes half.

In meiosis II, sister chromatids separates. So, the number of chromosomes remains same (i.e. Have same no. of chromosome as present in cell produced after meiosis I).

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have <u>20</u> chromosome.

At the end of meiosis I, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes.

A cellular component of the innate defenses includes ________.

muminat

Answer: Cell components encompass phagocytic cells, epithelial and endothelial cells, natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells, and platelets.

Explanation: Although it is ancient, the innate immune system is highly complex and consists of barriers to infection (epithelia of skin, gastrointestinal, respiratory, genitourinary tracts), antimicrobial peptides and proteins, humoral components (i.e. complement and opsonins) and cellular components (i.e. neutrophils, monocytes).
