Which of the following represents a stable octet? A 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

1 answer:

3 0

[Ne]3s^23p^6 ( answer D) represent a sample of an octet. Octet is the tendency of an atom to have eight electrons in the valence shell. [Ne]3s^2 3p^6 is an octet since its valence electron that is3s^23p^6 has eight electrons.

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?

katrin2010 [14]

Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
= 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium

The two isotopes of chlorine are LaTeX: \begin{matrix}35\\17\end{matrix}Cl35 17 C l and LaTeX: \begin{matrix}37\\17\end{matrix}C

Kay [80]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

In the early twentieth century, what was Alexander Fleming’s hypothesis concerning the relationship between a yellow-green mold

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option c)He thought the mold had released a chemical that prevented the bacteria’s growth.

Explanation:

In the 1920s, Alexander Fleming was working in his laboratory at St. Mary's Hospital in London when, almost by accident, he discovered a naturally growing substance that could attack certain bacteria. In one of his experiments, Fleming observed that colonies of a bacterium had been depleted or removed by a mold that grew on the same Petri dish. He observed that the bacteria furthest from the fungus had grown to produce large-sized colonies, while the colonies closest to the fungus were tiny. He determined that mold made a substance that could dissolve bacteria. The fungus was penicilium chrysogenum and thus Fleming called this substance penicillin, by the name of the mold that produces it. Thus, after several years of experiments in 1930, Howard Florey and Ernest Chain developed at Oxford University the procedures to produce pure penicillin from the fungus that Fleming isolated. Thus penicillin could be concentrated by Florey and Chain, and in 1945 they shared with Fleming the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Then, the correct answer is the option c)He thought the mold had released a chemical that prevented the bacteria’s growth.
