Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.

What is the new pressure of 150 mL of a gas that is compressed to 50 mL when the original pressure was 2.0 atm and the temperatu

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

1) 6.0 atm.

2) 2.066 atm.

Explanation:

From the general law of ideal gases:

PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the container.

n is the no. of moles of the gas.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas (K).

1) What is the new pressure of 150 mL of a gas that is compressed to 50 mL when the original pressure was 2.0 atm and the temperature is held constant?

At constant T and at two different (P, and V):

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.

P₁ = 2.0 atm, V₁ = 150.0 mL.

P₂ = ??? atm, V₂ = 50.0 mL.

∴ P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂ = (2.0 atm)(150.0 mL)/(50.0 mL) = 6.0 atm.

2. A sample of a gas in a rigid container at 30.0°C and 2.00 atm has its temperature increased to 40.0°C. What will be the new pressure?

Since the container is rigid, so it has constant V.

At constant V and at two different (P, and T):

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂.

P₁ = 2.0 atm, T₁ = 30.0°C + 273 = 303 K.

P₂ = ??? atm, T₂ = 40.0°C + 273 = 313 K.

∴ P₂ = P₁T₂/T₁ = (2.0 atm)(313.0 K)/(303.0 K) = 2.066 atm.

What is a zone of weak, variable winds located at 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south?

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Horse latitude, trade winds

Explanation:

The area of the low pressure or the calm consists of the variable light winds that blow near the equator are known to the marines as the doldrums and they form a circuital pattern near the earth atmosphere.

Forms at a center of the near the higher pressure systems called as the horse latitudes where the trade winds at the surface are weak and variable and this zone is found generally in latitudes of the 30° North and South of the equator and move in an east to west direction.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 5.20 mol of ammonium sulfide?

Fofino [41]

1) Molecular formula of ammonium sulfide

(NH4)2 S

2) That means that there are 2*4 = 8 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of ammoium sulfide, so in 5.20 mol of molecules will be 8 * 5.20 mol = 41.6 moles of atoms of hydrogen

3) To pass to number of atoms multiply by Avogadro's number: 6.022 * 10^23

41.6 moles * 6.022 * 10^23 atoms / mol = 250.5 * 10^23 = 2.50 * 10^25 atoms

Answer: 2.50 * 10^25
