Explain why alkali metals do not form divalent ions.

1 answer:

Alkali metals have only one electron in their outermost energy levels , so (they can loose one electron to) they form a mono positive ion only . That's why alkali metal do not from dispositive ions .

Hope that helps:)

A certain gas is present in a 15.0 LL cylinder at 2.0 atmatm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 4.0 atmatm the volume of

Helga [31]

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature and moles.

Mathematically, P = $\frac{k}{V}$

where, k = proportionality constant

Also, formula for initial pressure and volume is as follows.

$P_{i} = \frac{k_{i}}{V_{i}}$

or, $k_{i} = P_{i} \times V_{i}$

= $2 atm \times 15 L$

= 30 atm L

Now, we will calculate the value of $k_{f}$ as follows.

$k_{f} = P_{f} \times V_{f}$

= $4 atm \times 7.5 L$

= 30 atm L

Hence, as $k_{i} = k_{f}$ this means that it signifies that gas obeys boyle's law.

Amphetamine (C9H13N) is a weak base with a pKb of 4.2.

QveST [7]

Weak base: [OH⁻] = √Kb.C

pKb = 4.2

$\tt Kb=10^{-4.2}$

c = concentration

MM Amphetamine (C9H13N) = 135.21 g/mol

c = 215 mg/L = (0.215 g : 135,21 g/mol) / L = 0.00159 mol/L = 1.59 x 10⁻³ mol/L

$\tt [OH^-]=\sqrt{10^{-4.2}\times 1.59\times 10^{-3}}=3.17\times 10^{-4}$

pOH = 4 - log 3.17

pH = 14 - (4 - log 3.17)

pH = 10 + log 3.17 = 10.50

Which action must occur for an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

correct substrate to bind the active site of the enzyme.

Explanation:

For an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction it is very essential for the correct substrate to bind the active site of the enzyme.

The Active site consists of two parts

1.Binding site

2. Catalytic site

The binding site consists of amino acid residues that bind to the correct substrate while the catalytic site has the amino acids that lead to the catalysis.

The active site's shape is such that only the right substratum easily binds to it and thus the catalytic reaction occurs.
