Explanation:

The electron shells are labelled as K,L,M,N,O,P, and Q or 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7.

As we go from innermost shell outwards, this number denotes the number of subshell in the shell. Electrons in outer shells have higher average energy and travel farther from the nucleus than those in inner shells.

Hence, M shell contains s,p and d subshells.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The relationship between the activation energy and rate of reaction is best captured by the Arrhenius equation;

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

Where;

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor

Ea=activation energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature

We can see from the foregoing that, as the activation energy increases, the rate of reaction decreases and vice versa. reactions that have a very high activation energy are markedly slow.

Since the activation energy for the malonic acid reaction is found to be greater than the activation energy for the tartaric acid reaction, then the rate of the malonic acid reaction(k) will be slower than that of the tartaric acid reaction.

The study of chemistry and bonds is called chemistry. There are two types of elements metal and nonmetals.

The correct answer is mentioned below.

The equation is as follows:-

Answer:

Al + MnO4- + 2H2O → Al(OH)4- + MnO2

Explanation:

First of all, we out down the skeleton equation;

Al + MnO4- → MnO2 + Al(OH)4-

Secondly, we write the oxidation and reduction equation in basic medium;

Oxidation half equation:Al + 4H2O + 4OH- → Al(OH)4- + 4H2O + 3e-

Reduction half equation:MnO4- + 4H2O + 3e- → MnO2 + 2H2O + 4OH-

Thirdly, we add the two half reactions together to obtain:

Al + MnO4- + 8H2O + 4OH- + 3e- → Al(OH)4- + MnO2 + 6H2O + 3e- + 4OH-

Lastly, cancel out species that occur on both sides of the reaction equation;

Al + MnO4- + 8H2O→ Al(OH)4- + MnO2 + 6H2O

The simplified equation now becomes;

Al + MnO4- + 2H2O → Al(OH)4- + MnO2

Answer:

c. C3H9N2O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecule. To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each atom to moles. With the moles we can find the ratio as follows:

Moles N -Molar mass: 14.01g/mol-

0.420g N * (1mol/14.01g) = 0.0300 moles N

Moles O -Molar mass: 16g/mol-

0.480g O * (1mol/16g) = 0.0300 moles O

Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-

0.540g C * (1mol/12.01g) = 0.0450 moles C

Moles H -Molar mass: 1.0g/mol-

0.135g H * (1mol/1g) = 0.135moles H

Dividing in the moles of N (Lower number of moles) the ratio of atoms is:

N = 0.0300 moles N / 0.0300 moles N = 1

O = 0.0300 moles O / 0.0300 moles N = 1

C = 0.0450 moles C / 0.0300 moles N = 1.5

H = 0.135 moles H / 0.0300 moles N = 4.5

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, multiplying each ratio twice:

N = 2, O = 2, C = 3 and H = 9

And the empirical formula is:

Answer:

1860g.

Explanation:

It is known that the molar mass of C2H6O2 is 62.08 g/mol.,

Now to  solve for the number of moles of solute, one must multiply both

sides by the volume:

moles of solute = (6.00 M)(5.00 L) = 30.0 mol

Notice since the definition of molarity is mol/L, the

product M × L gives mol, a unit of amount.

Use the molar  mass of C3H8O3, one can convert mol to g:

Mass m =30 mol × 62.08 g/mol

m = 1860g.

Hence, there are 1,860 g of C2H6O2 in the specified amount of

engine coolant.

Answer:

0.696 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 16.7 g of C₆H₁₂O₆. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 16.7 g

Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = (6×12) + (12×1) + (6×16)

= 72 + 12 + 96

= 180 g/mol

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 16.7 / 180

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 0.093 mole

Next, we shall convert 133.6 g of water to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

133.6 g = 133.6 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

133.6 g = 0.1336 Kg

Thus, 133.6 g is equivalent to 0.1336 Kg.

Finally, we shall determine the molality of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 0.093 mole

Mass of water = 0.1336 Kg

Molality =?

Molality = mole / mass of water (in Kg)

Molality = 0.093 / 0.1336

Molality = 0.696 m

Therefore, the molality of the solution is 0.696 m

Answer:

a. 2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

b. i. NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent

ii. NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

a. Balance the following skeleton reaction

The reaction is

NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq)

The half reactions are

NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq)  (1) and

NO₂ (g) → NO₂⁻  (aq) (2)

We balance the number of oxygen atoms in equation(1) by adding one H₂O molecule to the left side.

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq)

We now add two hydrogen ions 2H⁺ on the right hand side to balance the number of hydrogen atoms

NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)

The charge on the left hand side is zero while the total charge on the right hand side is -1 + 2 = +1. To balance the charge on both sides, we add one electron to the right hand side.

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

Since the number of atoms in equation two are balanced, we balance the charge since the charge on the left hand side is zero and that on the right hand side is -1. So, we add one electron to the left hand side.

So, NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻  (aq) (5)

We now add equation (4) and (5)

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

+  NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻  (aq) (5)

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + e⁻ → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)  → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)  

We now add two hydroxide ions to both sides of the equation.

So, 2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

The hydrogen ion and the hydroxide ion become a water molecule

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

So, the required reaction is

2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

b. Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent

Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂ is -2. Since the oxidation number of NO₂ is zero, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0

x + 2(-2) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₂⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0

x + 2(-2) = -1

x - 4 = -1

x = 4 - 1

x = 3

Also, the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₃⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₃⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = -1

x + 3(-2) = -1

x - 6 = -1

x = 6 - 1

x = 5

i. The oxidizing agent

The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +3 in NO₂⁻. So, Nitrogen is reduced and thus  NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent

ii. The reducing agent

The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +5 in NO₃⁻. So, Nitrogen is oxidized and thus and  NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.

Answer:

Both have solutions in the  graduated cylinder.

Explanation:

Recording the amount of alcohol used as the difference between two masses is the wrong method used for measuring tert-butyl alcohol for the experiment.  For measuring tert-butyl alcohol for this experiment, the student has to measure the two masses when both the graduated cylinders has solution of tert-butyl alcohol not when one of it is empty (having no tert-butyl alcohol ).

The wrong aspect is that the liquid didn't need to be weighed. Instead the volume should have been recorded with the aid of the graduated cylinder.

This is a cylinder with marked readings and is used to measure the volume of liquids in the laboratory.

The graduated cylinder will accurately measure the amount of  alcohol used due to it being volatile and the mass fluctuating during the measurement.

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

There is strong inhibition of Carbon Anhydrase by Aceta-zolamide Carbonic Anhydrase. The drug acetazolamide is used as diuretic which increase the urine production in human body. It lowers pressure in eye in glaucoma.

In the original solution you have the mixture of a weak acid (Hypochlorous acid) and its conjugate base (Sodium hypochlorite). That is a buffer.

The barium hydroxide will react with hypochlorous acid. If this reaction cause the complete reaction of hypochlorous acid, the buffer break its capacity and the pH change in several units. In this case:

The addition of barium hydroxide will raise the pH slightly because the buffer still working.

The initial moles of those species are:

Hypochlorous acid:

[tex]1L * \frac{0.370mol}{1L} = 0.370 moles[/tex]

Sodium hypochlorite:

[tex]1L * \frac{0.493mol}{1L} = 0.493 moles[/tex]

Now, a strong acid as barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) reacts with a weak acid as hypochlorous acid (HClO) as follows:

Ba(OH)₂ + 2HClO → Ba(ClO)₂ + 2H₂O

For a complete reaction of 0.092 moles of barium hydroxide are required:

[tex]0.092 moles Ba(OH)_2*\frac{2mol HClO}{1molBa(OH)_2} = 0.184 moles HClO[/tex]

As there are 0.370 moles, the moles of HClO after the reaction are:

0.370 moles - 0.184 moles = 0.186 moles of HClO will remain

As you still have hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid you still have a buffer.

Thus, the pH will raise slightly because the amount of acid is decreasing and slightly because the buffer can keep the pH.

Answer:

a. Decrease

b. Increase

c. Increase

d. No effect

Explanation:

Glycolysis is present in muscle cells which converts glucose to pyruvate, water and NADH. It produces two molecules of ATP. Cellular respiration produces more molecules of ATP from pyruvate in mitochondria. Glycolysis increases in pyruvate kinase.

a. Loss of binding site for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate in pyruvate kinase: Decrease

b. Loss of allosteric binding site for ATP in pyruvate kinase: No effect

c. Loss of allosteric binding site for AMP in phosphofructokinase: Increase

d. Loss of regulatory binding site for ATP in phosphofructokinase: Increase

A. An important substrate in the glycolysis pathway is fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. It stimulates pyruvate kinase, an essential enzyme in glycolysis. The amount of pyruvate kinase that is activated will decrease if the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate binding site in pyruvate kinase is eliminated. As a result the rate of glycolysis in the muscle cells will probably decrease.

B. The allosteric ATP binding site of pyruvate kinase controls how active the enzyme is. However, pyruvate kinase is not significantly regulated by ATP in muscle cells. Therefore, it is unlikely that deletion of the ATP-binding allosteric site in pyruvate kinase would have no effect on the rate of glycolysis in muscle cells.

C. The rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, phosphofructokinase, is activated from all forms by AMP. It increases the rate of glycolysis by stimulating the activity of phosphofructokinase. If the allosteric binding site for AMP is eliminated, phosphofructokinase activation will be reduced. As a result, the rate of glycolysis in muscle cells will decrease.

D. Phosphofructokinase is inhibited allosterically by ATP. It regulates the rate of glycolysis by a feedback mechanism. High ATP concentrations cause phosphofructokinase to bind to its regulatory site, limiting its activity and delaying glycolysis. If the regulatory binding site for ATP is eliminated, the inhibitory action of ATP on phosphofructokinase would be lost. As a result, muscle cells will glycolysis at a faster rate.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 80 \ m/s^2 \ down}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to find the acceleration of a skydiver. Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time, so the formula for calculating acceleration is:

[tex]a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]

The skydiver was initially traveling 65 meters per second, then he slowed down to a final velocity of 5 meters per second. He slowed down in 0.75 seconds.

[tex]\bullet \ v_f = 5 \ m/s \\\bullet \ v_i= 65 \ m/s \\\bullet \ t= 0.75 \ s[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]a= \frac{ 5 \ m/s - 65 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]

Solve the numerator.

[tex]a= \frac{-60 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]a= -80 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The acceleration of the skydiver is -80 meters per second squared or 80 meters per second squared down. The skydiver is slowing down or decelerating, so the acceleration is negative or down.
