Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

On the other hand, atomic number is only the total number of protons present  in an atom.

Also, when an atom is electrically neutral in nature then its number of protons equal to the number of electrons present in it.

For example, an electrically neutral atom of gallium has 31 electrons and 39 neutrons. This means that it also contains 31 protons.

Hence, mass number of gallium will be as follows.

                Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                                        = 31 + 39

                                        = 70

Thus, we can conclude that the mass number for an atom of gallium is 70.

If the atom is neutral (meaning, not charged) the number of electron is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of proton and the number of neutrons. From the given above, the mass number of gallium is 31 + 39. The answer is letter D. 70.

For the reaction: MgF2(s) ⇌ Mg2+(aq) + 2F- (aq), Ksp= 6.4 × 10-9, the addition of 0.10 M NaF to the solution cause what effect o
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Shifts the equilibrium to the left. reduces solubility.

Explanation:

  • MgF2(s) ↔ Mg2+(aq) + 2F-(aq)

          S                   S              2S

∴ Ksp = 6.4 E-9 = [ Mg2+ ] * [ F- ]² = S * (2S)²

⇒ 4S² * S = 6.4 E-9

⇒ 4S³ = 6.4 E-9

⇒ S³ = 1.6 E-9

⇒ S = 1.1696 E-3 M

  • NaF(s) → Na+(aq)  +  F-(aq)

        0.10M     0.10M        0.10M

  • MgF2(s) ↔ Mg2+(aq)  + 2F-(aq)

          S'                 S'              2S' + 0.10

⇒ Ksp = 6.4 E-9 = (S')*(2S' + 0.10)²

If we compare the concentration (0.10 M) of the ion with Ksp ( 6.4 E-9 ); thne we can neglect S' as adding:

⇒ 6.4 E-9 = (S')*(0.10)² = 0.01S'

⇒ S' = 6.4 E-7 M

∴ % S' = ( 6.4 E-7 / 0.1 )*100 = 6.4 E-4% <<< 5%, we can make the assumption

We can observe that S >> S' ( 1.1696 E-3 M >> 6.4 E-7 M ), which shows that the solubility  is reduced by the efect of the common ion from the salt, which causes the equilibrium to shift to the left, precipitating part of MgF2(s).

What explains the observation that FADH2 oxidation yields one less ATP than NADH oxidation by the Electron Transport System
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

During the Electron Transport System occur in the mitochondrial membrane, oxygen in this reaction is been reduced to water and ATPs are being produced.

The quinone form or the oxidized form of Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide(FAD) is the FADH2. While Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is the acronym for NADH. NADH is a good donating substance/agent.

It has been observed that FADH2 produce two(2) ATP while NADH produces three(3) ATP. The reason for this observation is that the production of electron in the FADH2 is at the lower enegy level. Because of this it can not transfer its electron to the first complex .

While;

NADH is at the higher energy level and it can directly transfer its electron to the first complex.
