6 0

There is five main area of study in Chemistry, these are:

Analytical, this focusses on experimental equipment and methods used in chemistry (e.g., NMR, Spectroscopic methods, etc.)

Biochemistry - focuses on the chemistry of compounds and processes in living things (e.g., amino acids, proteins, DNA, cellular respiration, Krebs cycle, etc.)

Organic - focuses on the chemistry on most carbon-based molecules found in living things (e.g., hydrocarbons, alcohols, carbolic acids. Amines, ester, etc.)

Inorganic - (focuses on all elements other than carbon (e.g., fluorine, silicon, xenon, etc.)

Physical - focuses on the basic structure and energetic son atoms and molecules (e.g., subatomic structure, is nice and covalent bonding, thermodynamics, reactions, etc.)

Suppose that 100 grams of water at 50.0°C is placed in contact with 200 grams of iron at 30.0°C. The final

wel

Answer:

The answer would be 1.5 kJ.

Explanation:

When you use the equation q = m x c x ∆T you will be able to find the energy gained or lost. The data for the water in this case is just there to distract you so ignore it. :D

Select all that apply.

Hi!

The correct options would be:

is an electron

is emitted from nucleus

has a -1 charge

Explanation:

A beta particle is a result of a neutron (a neutral particle) changing into two particles of opposite charges - a high energy electron (with a negative charge -1) and a positron (with a positive charge +1). Neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom, and thus the beta particles are said to be emitted from the nucleus. They do have a charge, not zero, but it is not +2 and can only be either -1 or +1. This form of radiation is not electromagnetic energy because beta particles are massless, and do not travel at the speed of light (both being characteristics of electromagnetic radiation). Beta particles are not pure forms of energy.

Hope this helps.

Metal cations are atoms that have a positive charge. What type of bond is a metal cation likely to form? A. covalent bond B. dou

Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. ionic bond

Explanation:

Due to electron deficiency in a metal cation, they cannot form a covalent bond beacuse it means to share electrons. By contrast metal cation seek for electrons. In an ionic bond, one atom give electrons, while another atom recevie electron. Because of that, this is the better option to metal cations.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: 2NH3 (g) N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) Le Châtelier's principle predicts that the moles of H2

Lilit [14]

Answer:

A decrease in the total volume of the reaction vessel (T constant)

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle predicts that the moles of H2 in the reaction container will increase with a decrease in the total volume of the reaction vessel.
According to the Le Chatelier's principle, when a chnage is a applied to a system at equilibrium, then the equilibrium will shift in a way that counteracts the effect causing it.
In this case, a decrease in volume means there is an increase in pressure, therefore the equilibrium will shift towards the side with the fewer number of moles of gas.

Which of the following statements about alkenes is not correct?

professor190 [17]

Option-C: They react mainly by substitution.

Explanation:
Alkene doesn't give substitution reactions because they are non polar in nature. The double bond in alkene is responsible for Electrophillic Addition reactions as it electron rich and nucleophilic in nature. Reaction of Alkene is given below,
