Answer:

The concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution is 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution. In this case, the concentration of the copper(II) sulfate solution in micromoles per liter (symbol ) is the number of micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution. To calculate the micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution you must divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution.

Here's that idea written as a formula: c= n/V

where c stands for concentration, n stands for the total micromoles of copper (II) sulfate and V stands for the total volume of the solution.

You're not given the volume of the solution in liters, but rather in milliliters. You can convert milliliters to liters with a unit ratio: V= 150. mL * 10^-3 L/ 1 mL = 0.150 L

Next, plug in μmol and liters into the formula to divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution: c= 31 μmol/0.150 L = 206.66 μmol/L

Convert this number into scientific notation: 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

How many moles of na+ are present in 343 ml of a 1.27 m solution of na2so4?
cricket20 [7]
Sodium sulfate, Na₂SO₄, is a strong electrolyte. It means that it dissociates into 2 Na⁺ ions and 1 SO₄⁻ ion when dissolved in water. So, for every 1 mole of Na₂SO₄, there is an equivalent amount of 2 mol Na⁺ ions. The solution is as follows:

Moles of Na⁺ = (1.27 mol Na₂SO₄/L)*(1 L/1000 mL)*(343 mL)*(2 mol Na⁺/1 mol Na₂SO₄)
<em>Moles of Na⁺ = 0.87 mol</em>

One of the more important chemical reactions of the alkanes is?
Anna [14]

Combustion:

The saturated hydrocarbons are relatively inert except at high temperatures. Combustion is one of the more important chemical reactions of the alkanes.


Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. For example, an alkane with 6 carbon atoms (n = 6) would have a formula of C6H2·6+2 or C6H14. Structurally C6H14 would be shown as:

Someone drops a book on the floor, and it makes a loud noise. At that time, you turn to look at the person who dropped the book.
Rudiy27

Answer: Stimulus

Explanation: The definition of Stimulus is "a thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue," according to the Oxford Dictionary. So the book dropping and causing a noise is an example of a stimulus.

Hydrogen bonds are:
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter C

Explanation:

a. the sharing of electrons between a hydrogen atom and another atom.  This description is not for hydrogen bonding, in hydrogen bonding atoms do not share electrons, to form this bond.

b. the electrostatic interaction between an atom that has lost an electron and an atom that has gained an electron.  This definition is describing an ionic bonding, not a hydrogen bonding.

c. the interaction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom. This is the right definition of hydrogen bonding, because is mentioning the interaction between a hydrogen and an electronegative atom.
