Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of

the formation of an ionic bond as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons on each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

 <span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion 
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>

When CO2 decomposes into oxygen and carbon, it gives a gram ratio of 2.67:1 O2:C. When a 32.4g of CO2 decomposes, how many grams
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer : The mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

CO_2\rightarrow O_2+C

As we are given:

\text{Mass of }O_2}:\text{Mass of }C=2.67:1{

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of CO_2 = Mass of O_2 + Mass of C

Total mass of CO_2 = 2.67 + 1 = 3.67 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of O_2 and C.

\text{Mass of }O_2=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }O_2=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 2.67=23.6g

and,

\text{Mass of }C=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }C=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 1=8.83g

Therefore, the mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

The energy that a log has is transformed when burned. How does the chemical energy of the log compare to the heat and light ener
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The amount of chemical energy is equal to the amount of heat and light energy.

This is due to the principle of conservation of energy, which states that the total energy of a system remains constant.

Codons.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

1. C- Three.

2. A- Methionine

3. D- Translocation.

4. C- OH.

5. A - 5'

6. A - 3' carbon

7. A. adenine and guanine

Explanation:

1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.

2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.

3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.

4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).

5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.

6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.

7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
