Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Chemical symbols for the elements oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Every element has a unique name and in most cases it was selected by the person who discovered it. For an element, abbreviation known as chemical symbol also exist for all elements name. Chemical symbol is simply one- or two-letter designation given for an element that is derived from the name of element. Chemical symbols occupy less space compared to chemical names.
In a chemical symbol, the first letter is always capitalized while the second letter is present in lower case. Two-letter chemical symbols are often the first two-letters of the chemical name of an element. Some elements symbol are derived from the Latin name of the element.

Absorbancearrow_forwardPlease answer the following question in at least 2 paragraphs. Explain why you agree or disagree with each of the following statements: a. We should not worry much about exposure to toxic chemicals because almost any chemical, at a large enough dosage, can cause some harm.arrow_forwardHeliox is a helium‑oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 5.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1734 psi. A second 5.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 461.0 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 5.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.arrow_forward
- When you purchase drugs, there are many doses in the container. No one wants to drive to the store each time they have a headache! You can calculate the number of doses per container using the following formula: number of tablet per container /tablets per dose (formula) Calculate the number of doses per container for Brand X.

- You dissolve a 3.435 gram sample of potato in acid to determine the levels of solanine (the reason why green potatoes are poisonous) and diluted it to a total volume of 500.0 mL. You have also created a standard curve as outlined below. Solve for the ug/gram concentration of solanine in the potato sample. ppm Solanine Std. Abs 0.213 5 0.315 10 0.423 15 0.532 Unknown sample 0.314 Your Answer:arrow_forwardThere are two solutions with different pH levels. Solution A is neutral, with a pH of 7. Solution B is slightly alkaline, with a pH above 7. Two beakers are filled with of each solution (one for each solution). A phosphate buffer was added to it and CO2 was blown into it until there was a change of color meaning a change in pH. (this experiment is to see how the CO2 from the lungs can cause a pH change in water) Why does it take so long for the solutions to change color? Relate your answer to the equation (H2O + CO2 ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- + H+ ) and to the presence of the buffer.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions correctly choose the correct answer. 1._________dictates the maximum amount of product that can be formed during chemical.
