Answer:

A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.

How many grams of sodium acetate ( molar mass = 83.06 g/mol ) must be added to 1.00 Liter of a 0.200 M acetic acid solution to m

Pie

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium acetate that must be added is 30.23 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.200 M

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.200M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}}{1L}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=(0.200mol/L\times 1L)=0.200mol$

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[\text{acid}]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[CH_3COONa]}{[CH_3COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of acetic acid = 4.74

$[CH_3COONa]=?mol$

$[CH_3COOH]=0.200mol$

pH = 5.00

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5=4.74+\log(\frac{[CH_3COONa]}{0.200})$

$[CH_3COONa]=0.364mol$

To calculate the mass of sodium acetate for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of sodium acetate = 83.06 g/mol

Moles of sodium acetate = 0.364 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.364mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium acetate}}{83.06g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium acetate}=(0.364mol\times 83.06g/mol)=30.23g$

Hence, the mass of sodium acetate that must be added is 30.23 grams

Tails of phospholipids that don't like water

densk [106]

Those tails are called hydrophobic. You can note the etymology: hydro= water, phobi = fear, aversion, dislike.

Phospholipds' tail is a long non polar chain, made of Carbon and Hydorgens, that rejects water (a polar solvent) and is attracted to non-polar compounds (oil for example). That is why that tails can atract dirt.

If an atom has 13 electrons how many electron shells does it have

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an atom has 13 electrons then it belongs to p-block of periodic table.

s level can accommodate 2 electrons.

p level can accommodate 6 electrons.

13 means 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1.

As you can see there totally 5 sub-shells.

Total number of shells are 3(1,2,3).
