The d-metals iron, copper, and manganese form cations with different oxidation states. For this reason, they are found in many o

xidoreductases and in several proteins of oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis. Explain why many d-metals form cations with different oxidation states.

Answer:

==> Presence of unpaired electrons.

==> Electrons in ns and electrons in (n-1)d orbitals are used to form bonds because of their similarities in energies.

Explanation:

The d- metals are also known as the transition metals with metal elements such as the ones given in the question, that is; Copper, iron and Manganese. Others include chromium, Nickel, Cobalt and so on.

The reason behind many d-metals forming cations with different oxidation states is mainly because of the unpaired electrons. Because Unpaired electrons are unstable they tends to attract or bond with other species chemically.

Also, many d-metals form cations with different oxidation states because Electrons in ns and electrons in (n-1)d orbitals are used to form bonds because of their similarities in energies.

Answer:

They have electrons in their 3d- and 4s-orbital for bond formation.

Explanation:

d- metals or transition metal are metal which form ion with partially filled d-orbital. Examples are iron and manganese.

The metals have 2 electrons in their 4s orbital. If only this is used for bonding, they will form compounds where they have oxidation State of +2 as seen in MnO.

If two 4s and one of 3d electrons are used, oxidation state of +3 is formed as seen in FeCl3.

If two 2s electron I used with two 3d electrons, compound with oxidation state of +4 is formed as seen in MnO2

What is the specific heat of a substance if 1450 calories are required to raise the temperature of a 240g sample by 20℃?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

6960 J/kg°C

Explanation:

specific heat= mass×specific heat capacity×increase in temperature

specific heat= 0.240×1450×20= 6960 J/kg°C

The chart shows the solubility of different substances.
Annette [7]
Answer: 1) Temperature can change the solubility of a solute.

Explanation:

The chart is missing so there is no way to tell what does the graph show.

Yet, I can help you because I can explain the status of each statement of the choices. As you will see there is only one possibility..

<span>1) Temperature can change the solubility of a solute.

Yes, temperature definetly can, and mostly do, modify the solubility of a solute.

You can search any chart of solubility and will find that.

I can give you two examples:

a) Sodium chloride: dissolve some spoons of salt in a cold water  until you can not dissolve more. Then, heat the water, you will find that more salt will get dissolved, proving that the temperature of the solution increases the solubility of sodium chloride.

b) Carbon dioxide gas: the soft drinks have CO₂ molecules dissolved in it.
 
The higher the temperature of the soft drink the less the amount of CO₂(g) that can be dissolved. That is why the soda bottling plants cool the beverage before adding the CO₂(g).

2) </span><span>Temperature has no affect on the solubility of a solute.

Since this is the opposite to the first statement and the first is true, this is false.

3) Salt has a greater solubility than sugar.

False.

This is an empirical result, which you cannot predict theoretically. So you need to see at the data either in a table or in a chart. Else you can test it at home. After the empirical data are shown it results that more grams of sugar can be dissolved in water compared to salt.

That is something you ca see in a chart or you can prove by yourself.

4) Nitrite salt has a greater solubility than sugar. </span>

False.

Looking at some data you can find that sodium nitrite solutiliby is aroun  70 - 100 g/10 g while sugar (sucrose) solutiblity is around 180 - 235 g/ 100 g.
