<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

Cis-platin is a chlorine-containing chemotherapy agent with the formula pt(nh3)2cl2. What is the mass of one mole of cis-platin?

marishachu [46]

Cis-platin is a chemotherapy agent used to treat and kill cancerous cells in patients. One mole of cis-platin has a mass of 300.06 grams/mol. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a chemotherapy agent?</h3>

A chemotherapy agent is an alkylating agent that is used to treat cancer and is given to reduce the infection or to relieve the symptoms. Cis-platin (Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂) is one of the chemotherapy agents that treat lung, ovarian, and neck cancer, etc.

The mass of one mole of Cis-platin is calculated as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Where,

Moles = 1 mole

The molar mass of (Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂) is calculated as,

195.06 g/mole + 2(17g/mole) + (35.5)2 = 300.06 grams

Substituting values to calculate mass:

Mass = Molar mass × moles

= 300. 06 × 1

= 300.06 grams/mol

Therefore, option B. 300.06 gm/mol is the mass of Cis-platin.

In large generators in power plants, ___________ rotate inside a coil of wire to produce an electric current

lapo4ka [179]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Magnets

In large generators in power plants, <u>magnets</u> rotate inside a coil of wire to produce an electric current.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Generators are devices that use electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
In power plants, large wheel known as turbine that rotates when pushed by steam,wind, or water and provides mechanical energy to a generator.
<u><em>Generators are used in power plants and have very large quantities of copper wire spinning around inside very large magnets, at very high speeds. A turbine spins the shaft that runs the generator. Eventually, electric current is generated.</em></u>

A shopkeeper has a few bottles of soft drinks in his shop.But,these are not labelled.He has to serve the drinks on the demand on

zepelin [54]

Answer:

He will decide which drink is to be served to whom, by the use of litmus paper.

Explanation:

The litmus paper is the most common indicator to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution. Blue litmus paper changes its color to red when a solution changes from basic to acidic while red litmus paper changes its color to blue when the opposite occurs (acid → basic).

First of all the litmus paper strip, pH indicator, is immersed in a solution and allowed to pass between 10 and 15 seconds while keeping the strip submerged. Afterwards it is removed, and then the strip compares the color. If the color is diffuse, there is a color scale where it is determined which solution has alkaline or acidic pH
