$Question$

What is the difference between a quantity and a unit?

Answer:

Physical quantities are a characteristic or property of an object that can be measured or calculated from other measurements. Units are standards for expressing and comparing the measurement of physical quantities. All units can be expressed as combinations of four fundamental units.

Hope this helps!!!

When three pairs of electrons are shared in a molecule, what shape will the molecule be?

djyliett [7]

The correct answer is B. The shape of a molecule where three pairs of electrons are shared is a trigonal planar. This is characterized by one central atom and three atoms forming an equilateral triangle which is bonded to the central atom.

Can someone help out pls

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

1. Acids

2. Its molecular arrangement

3. Very acidic

4. Unsaturated

5. Apple juice

Explanation:

1. Acids have pH less than 7

2. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge.3. Very acidic

4. Unsaturated solutions are solutions in which the amount of dissolved solute is less than the saturation point of the solvent (at that specific temperature gradient).

5. The lower the pH, the more hydrogen molecules.

What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances

belka [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope mass amu Relative abundance

1 77.9 14.4

2 81.9 14.3

3 85.9 71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = $\frac{14.4}{100}=0.144$

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = $\frac{14.3}{100}=0.143$

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = $\frac{71.3}{100}=0.713$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

$\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})$

$A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]$

$A=84.2amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

During oxidation, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g

EastWind [94]

Oxidation is when the overall charge (or oxidation number) increases. The only way to increase an oxidation number is to lose an electron, thereby making the negative charges less. The correct answer is C.

Please tell me an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with Molisch’s Reagent?

Andru [333]

Answer:

positive reaction for Molisch's test is given by almost all carbohydrates (exceptions include tetroses & trioses). It can be noted that even some glycoproteins and nucleic acids give positive results for this test (since they tend to undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong mineral acids and form monosaccharides).
