Tenormin, a member of the group of drugs known as beta-blockers, is used to treat high blood pressure and improve survival after

a heart attack. It works by slowing down the heart to reduce its workload. Which atom in Tenormin is the most basic?

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

In the compound tenormin, there are two highly electronegative atoms capable of accepting electrons; oxygen and nitrogen. Oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.

However, the oxygen atom in tenormin is bonded to carbon in a carbonyl bond. Recall that the carbonyl bond is polar and the direction of the dipole is towards the oxygen atom. Looking at the structure of tenormin, it is clear that the electron density of the bond tends towards the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. Electron density is withdrawn from the adjacent nitrogen atom of the amine group via mesomeric and inductive mechanism towards the more electronegative oxygen atom.

On the other side of the structure, there are two oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms are more electronegative than nitrogen thus they are more basic.

Hence the oxygen atom is the most basic atom in the compound tenormin.

Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an<br> unknown chemical?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

A chemist pours 1 mol of zinc granules into one beaker and 1 mol of zinc chloride powder into another beaker. What do the two sa
Oksana_A [137]
Answer is: <span> two samples have in common same amount of substance and same number of particles.
1) There are same amount of substance in both beakers:
n(Zn) = 1 mol.
n(ZnCl</span>₂) = 1 mol.
2) There are same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) in both beakers:
N(Zn) = n(Zn) · Na.
N(Zn) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ atoms of zinc.
N(ZnCl₂) = n(ZnCl₂) · Na.
N(ZnCl₂) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ molecules of zinc(II) chloride.
Na - Avogadro number.
