Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of aluminum element.

Introduction: A substance or a particle that has a mass and occupies space is called matter. All matters are made up of atom, which is its smallest unit. Atom is the base thing for chemistry. Every gas, solid, and liquid including the plasma are made up of atoms. Elements and atoms have the same protons since elements are made of atoms.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Atom has three subatomic particles namely, protons, electrons, and neutrons. The aluminum element has an atomic number of 13 and an atomic mass of 27. For every element, the number of protons in the nucleus is their atomic number. Therefore, the number of protons of the aluminum atom is 13. Similarly, the sum of protons and neutrons of an atom is its atomic mass. Here, the atomic mass of aluminum is given as 27. Therefore, the number of neutrons in the nucleus of aluminum is 14 (atomic mass (27)-number of proton (13)).

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
