The metallic radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. What is the volume of a potassium atom in cubic meters?

1 answer:

8 0

1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
= 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
= 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

Mr. Smith is hyperglycemic with a blood glucose level of 300mg/ml of blood. Explain how homeostasis would regulate his glucose l

aleksley [76]

Answer:

When the animal has eaten food and the blood glucose level in the body increases. The pancreas cells in the body detects the increase in the blood glucose which leads to increase the insulin hormone.

This decreases the blood glucose level in the level. This is how the negative feedback works in the body if the level of glucose increases.

Negative feedback is the way by which the body maintains homeostasis and maintains equilibrium in the body.

A) How many moles of CO2 and H2O are formed from 3.85 mole of propane C3H8 (This calculation needs to be done twice-once fro CO2

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

a) 11.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

15.4 moles of water are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

b)0.5176 moles of water are formed from 0.647 mole of oxygen gas.

0.1294 moles of propane are consumed.

Explanation:

$C_3H_7+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

a) Moles of propane = 3.85 moles

According to reaction, 1 mole of propane gives 3 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

Then 3.85 moles of propane will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 3.85 mol=11.55 mol$ of carbon dioxide gas.

11.55 moles of carbon dioxide gas are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

According to reaction, 1 mole of propane gives 4 moles of water gas.

Then 3.85 moles of propane will give:

$\frac{4}{1}\times 3.85 mol=15.4 mol$ of water .

15.4 moles of water are formed from 3.85 mole of propane.

b) Moles of oxygen gas = 0.647 moles

According to reaction, 5 mole of oxygen gas gives 4 moles of water.

Then 0.647 moles of oxygen will give:

$\frac{4}{5}\times 0.647 mol=0.5176 mol$ of water.

0.5176 moles of water are formed from 0.647 mole of oxygen gas.

According to reaction, 5 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of propane.

Then 0.647 moles of oxygen will give:

$\frac{1}{5}\times 0.647 mol=0.1294 mol$ of propane.

0.1294 moles of propane are consumed.

Wade thinks it would be really cool to become a radiologist. Which two skills are important for him to have in order to excel in

zlopas [31]

ANSWER: The two skills that Wade will need to excel in the career of a Radiologist are:

1. Interpersonal skills to talk to patients and help them feel comfortable: This skill important because patients often are afraid of getting detected by a disease. Few patients also fear of getting tested by the heavy and complicated machineries. A radiologist's interpersonal skill will calm the patient and his attendant and will make them feel relieved.

2. Technical skills to know how to use the machinery and equipment needed for the job: Radiologist's primary duty is to operate the machineries in order to diagnose a patient correctly. A radiologist can not afford to be an amateur as he will either not be able to detect a disease or may raise a false alarm of a person having a disease.

You try to measure out exactly 5.0 milliliters of water by eye into each of five test tubes. When you go back to check the volum

jeka94

Answer:

The volumes are both, accurate and precise.

Explanation:

In the measurement of a set, precision refers to how much coincidence exists in the measurements of an specific value, as the measurements are close, we can say the volumes are precise.

Accuracy means the agreement that exists between the average of one

large series of measurements and the value of measurement

Media is 4,96 ml and I wanted to measure 5 ml. It is also close.
