can be oxidized to form carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is important in the oxidation of glucose because it can be oxidized to form carbon dioxide. Oxidation of glucose involves the reaction of oxygen with glucose in a process called respiration. This gives a product of water, carbon dioxide and energy which is stored as ATP.

  • Oxidation involves the addition of oxygen.
  • Any specie that undergoes oxidation, is a reducing agent and it is said to be oxidized.
  • Oxygen is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water.

Which element in each of the following sets would you expect to have the lowest IE₃?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) AL

(b) Sc

(c)Al

Explanation:

Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove electrons from the outer most orbitals of atom.

The higher the electron is on energy level the farther its from nucleus and more loosely bonded thus need lesser energy.

By looking at electron configuration we can figure out which electron will need more energy.

<h3>(a)Na, Mg, Al</h3>

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s², 3d¹

Na₁₁ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s¹

Mg₁₂ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

Al₁₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 2p¹

Al will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

<h3>(b) K, Ca, Sc</h3>

K₁₉⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s²

Ca₂₀⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s²

Sc₂₁⇒1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶,4s², 3d¹

Sc will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

<h3>(c) Li, Al, B</h3>

Li₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s¹

Al₁₃ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 2p¹

B₅ ⇒ 1s², 2s², 2p¹

Al will have lowest IE₃ as its third electron will be in highest energy level and more loosely bonded to nucleus.

Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Explanation:

Given,

N2 (g) + O2 (g) « 2 NO (g)

K = 0.01

heated temperature = 2000 ⁰C

N2 moles =0.4

O2 moles =0.1

2NO moles = 0.08

Volume of container = 1L

Q is the reaction quotient  of the equilibrium equation. it is use to determined which direction the system will move to by comparing it with the K value.

Q can be calculated by multiplication of mass of reactant divide by mass of product

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO}

the mass of the chemicals are in mole, there is need to convert them to moles/litre

therefore,

for N₂ : 0.4 mole per 1L container = 0.4 mol/L = 0.4M

for O₂ : 0.1 mole per 1L container = 0.1 mol/L = 0.1M

for 2NO : 0.08mole per 1L container = 0.08 mol/L = 0.08M

Q =\frac{ [N2] *[O2}{2NO} = (0.4*0.1)/0.08 = 0.5

finally, we are going to compare the value of Q with K

Note that:

if K>Q , the reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into product.

if K<Q , the reaction will proceed backward, converting products into reactants.

if K=Q , the system of reaction is already in equilibrium.

since, Q is 0.5 and K is 0.01, therefore K is less than Q.

the system will proceed in the reverse direction, thereby converting products into reactants. converting Nitric oxide to form oxygen and nitrogen.

Find the volume of a gas at STP, if its volume is 80.0 mL at 109 kPa and -12.5°C.​
exis [7]

Answer:

= 913.84 mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas laws

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

At standard temperature and pressure. the pressure is 10 kPa, while the temperature is 273 K.

V1 = 80.0 mL

P1 = 109 kPa

T1 = -12.5 + 273 = 260.5 K

P2 = 10 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 273 K

Therefore;

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

     = (109 kPa × 80 mL × 273 K)/(10 kPa× 260.5 K)

     <u>= 913.84 mL</u>
