Compounds of hydrogen exhibit a relatively large kinetic isotope effect.

The phenomenon known as the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is brought on by the variable reaction speeds that are displayed by isotopically substituted compounds. When it comes to studying reaction kinetics, mechanisms, and solvent effects, isotope effects like KIEs are invaluable tools in both physical and biological sciences. The replacement of hydrogen with deuterium is a highly frequent isotope substitution. The ratio kH/kD, which describes this as a "deuterium effect," is used to measure it. Due to the proportion, significant effects are observed.

When Arti kicks a football, two forces interact. Arti's foot exerts a force of 5N on the ball. What size force will be exerted o

Papessa [141]

A size force of 5N will be exerted on Artl's foot.

This is because Newton's third law of motion, where in which an action occurs, a reaction will occur with the same amount of force, but reversed towards the direction of the area where the action occurred.

How many grams of water vapor (H2O) are in a 10.2-liter sample at 0.98 atmospheres and 26°C?

diamong [38]

Hey there!

<span>Use the equation of Clapeyron:
</span>
T in kelvin :

26 + 273.15 => 299.15 K

R = 0.082

V = 10.2 L

P = 0.98 atm

number of moles :

P *V = n * R * T

0.98 * 10.2 = n * 0.082 * 299.15

9.996 = n * 24.5303

n = 9.996 / 24.5303

n = 0.4074 moles

Therefore:

Molar mass H2O = 18.01 g/mol

1 mole H2O ------------- 18.01 g
0.4074 moles ----------- m

m = 0.4074 * 18.01 / 1

m = 7.339 g of H2O

Chemical reactions between metals and non- metals result in the formation of

vichka [17]

When metals and non-metals react the metal element loses it's electron to the non-metal which result in it becoming positively charged (cation) while the non-metal who has gained more electrons than the proton in it's nucleus thus off-setting the neutral balance become negatively charged. Once this happens, the ions become attracted to each other (opposites attract) and result in them forming very strong IONIC BONDS.
