Calcium fluoride.
Ca is metal, F is non-metal, so they form ionic bond.
Ca as metal can form only positive ion. Ca in the second group, so the charge of Ca ion is 2+.   Ca²⁺
F is in the 17th group, so it has 7 electrons on the last level. It is non-metal, non-metal, so it has negative charge -(8-7)=-1. "8" because on the last level cannot be more than 8 electrons. F-ion is F¹⁻.

Ca²⁺  F¹⁻
Number of positive charges should be equal to number of negative charges,
Formula of calcium fluoride
CaF2.
2 atoms Fluorine bond with Calcium.

A biologist working in a lab adds a compound to a solution that contains an enzyme and substrate. This particular compound binds
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding more substrate would overcome  the effect of the compound

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
  • Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
  • Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
  • Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
  • The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
  • Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.

How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart? How is the oxidation potential voltage determined
insens350 [35]
Oxidation  half  reaction  is  written   as    follows when  using  using  reduction potential  chart
example  when  using  copper  it is  written  as  follows
CU2+   +2e-  --> c(s)  +0.34v
 oxidasation  is the  loos  of  electron  hence copper oxidation  potential  is  as  follows
cu (s)  -->  CU2+   +2e    -0.34v

A sample of concrete contains cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water. Each of these contains different metals and minera
Zepler [3.9K]

As the concrete has cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water of different physical state and can be separated by physical methods hence it should be called as a mixture.

As the components have significant physical boundaries which clearly identify their presence, the mixture is heterogeneous and not homogeneous.

Thus this is a concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water

(Please help, ASAP) How many grams are in 3.45x10^23 atoms of P?
Daniel [21]

one mole of P weights about 31 grams

in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms

we use the rule of threes

6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams

3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams

x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23

x=106.95/6.022=<u><em>17.76 grams</em></u>
