Light elements with an atomic number less than 20 generally have a neutron to proton ratio equal to

1 answer:

6 0

Atomic elements consist of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge whilst neutrons are electrically neutral. In light elements with an atomic number less than 20, the neutron to proton ratio is generally equal to 1:1. This changes for heavier elements since the Coulomb interaction between many protons gets stronger and demands more neutrons for the nucleus to remain stable.

Z is a covalent substance. In an experiment, a sample of pure solid Z was continually heated for 11 minutes

11111nata11111 [884]

When a pure solid Z sample it a covalent compound is heated continually for 11 minutes it will undergo disintegration leaving the bonds intact.

<h3>What is a covalent compound?</h3>

A covalent compound is a compound that is made up of molecules which share one or more pairs of valence electrons and are bonded together by a covalent bond.

One of the major factors that affect compounds with covalent bonds is temperature.

The increase in temperature during heating leads to the separation of the atoms from each other but leaving the bonds intact.

at atmoshperic pressure, a balloon contains 2.00L of nitrogen of gas. How would the volume change if the Kelvin temperature were

Nataly [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent change in volume will be 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

$V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$V_1=2L\\T_1=T_1\\V_2=?\\T_2=75\% \text{ of }T_1=0.75\times T_1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{2L}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{0.75\times T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{2\times 0.75\times T_1}{T_1}=1.5L$

Percent change of volume = $\frac{\text{Change in volume}}{\text{Initial volume}}\times 100$

Percent change of volume = $\frac{(2-1.5)}{2}\times 100=25\%$

Hence, the percent change in volume will be 25 %

What should be the effect of losing ones sight on the ability to digest food

crimeas [40]

One mechanism is enzyme induction.

Enzymes are proteins, which are metabolically expensive to produce. It makes evolutionary sense that your body makes less digestive enzymes such as lactase and sucrase when they're not needed. If your diet changes, your body can gradually increase the production of some enzymes through a process of enzyme induction.

For example, the production of lactase enzyme can be increased in some lactose-intolerant individuals by feeding them lactose . Also, studies in rats have shown that other carbohydrate-digesti<span>Your body makes more of what it needs, and less of what it doesn't need--brilliant!</span>ng enzymes, such as sucrase-isomaltase, trehalase, and maltase-glucoamylase--can be induced by hydrocortisone administration.
