1. For this question, the adjective small must be percepted in a relative sense. This is because it is not the smallest ion (that would be hydrogen). It could be that the antimony and beryllium ions are smaller compared to their neutral forms. This is because they donate electrons when ionized. As a result, the electrons are reduced, so does the electron cloud which makes the radius much smaller.
2. The periodic table is arranged in terms of increasing atomic number. For neutral atoms, the number of protons (atomic number) is equal to the number of electrons. So, the farther we go down the table, the higher the atomic number. The higher the atomic number, the bigger the electron cloud which makes the atomic radius bigger. Because by definition, atomic radius is the length from the nucleus to the farthest electron from the nucleus.
Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.
Explanation:
Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.
As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.
Answer:
A) The number of atoms in a grain of iron is most similar to the number of meters between Earth and Vega.
The options attached to the question are missing, but out of the numbers presented in the options, 10¹⁷ is closest to 10¹⁸.
B) The mass of a grain of iron is approximately (9 × 10⁻⁵) g
Explanation:
The options attached to the question are missing, after searching online, the image of the question was obtained, but it won't be attached to this solution in order not to violate the community guidelines and lead to deletion of answer.
But, out of the numbers presented in the options, 10¹⁷ is closest to 10¹⁸, hence, the number of atoms in a grain of iron is most similar to the number of meters between Earth and Vega.
The second part of the question asks for the approximate mass of a grain of iron.
1 atom of iron has a mass of (9 × 10⁻²³) g
1 grain of iron has about (1 × 10¹⁸) atoms of iron.
So, the mass of a grain of iron = (9 × 10⁻²³) × (1 × 10¹⁸) = (9 × 10⁻⁵) g
Hope this Helps!!!
I believe the answer is B!
To convert the given value to the desired one, use the proper unit conversions and dimensional analysis. Use the following conversion for the first set.
1 g = 100 cg
1 L = 1000 mL
Using the concept presented above,
V = (59800 cg/L)(1 g/100 cg)1 L/1000 mL)
V = 0.598 g/mL
