Your brain has about 100 billion neurons, all of which are interneurons. Each of these neurons may receive up to 10,000 messages from other neurons and may send messages to about 1,000 more. Every day, billions of nerve impulses travel through your nervous system from neuron to other neurons or body structures. The place where a neuron transfers an impulse to another structure is called a synapse. At the axon tips, electrical signals carried through the neuron change into a chemical form. This change allows the message to cross the gap. The message then continues in electrical from through the next neuron.

When zn(oh)2(s) was added to 1.00 l of a basic solution, 1.09×10−2 mol of the solid dissolved. what is the concentration of oh−
uysha [10]
The concentration of the basic solution is determined by:

N = (number of moles / volume of solution) 

number of moles = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol
volume of solution = 1 liter
N of basic solution = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol / 1 liter
N = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol/L

The initial concentration of Zn (OH)2 is 0; the basic solution is 1.09x10^-2 M, then the concentration of OH in the final solution is 1.09x10^-2 M

Calculate the amount of CO2 (in kg) released when 1 kg of coal is burned. Assume that carbon content of the coal is 50% by mass.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

1.8321 kg

Explanation:

The given 1 kg of coal contains 50% of the carbon atom by mass. Thus, mass of carbon in coal is \frac {50}{100}\times 1\ kg=0.5\ kg

Also, 1 kg = 1000 g

So, mass of carbon = 500 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

Moles of methanol = 500 g / 12.0107 g/mol = 41.6295 moles

Considering the reaction:

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction,

1 mole of C react to form 1 mole of CO_2

So,

41.6295 moles of C react to form 41.6295 moles of CO_2

Moles of CO_2 = 41.6295 moles

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44.01 g/mol

So, Mass = Moles × Molar mass = 41.6295 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 1832.1143 g

Also, 1g = 0.001 kg

<u>So, amount of CO_2 released = 1.8321 kg</u>

The carbon-carbon bond length in ethylene is ________ than the carbon-carbon bond length in ethane, and the HCH bond angle in et
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

shorter

longer

Explanation:

The carbon-carbon bond length in ethylene is <u>shorter</u> than the carbon-carbon bond length in ethane, and the HCH bond angle in ethylene is <u>longer</u> the HCH bond angle in ethane.

The objective of this question is to let us understand the concept of Bond Length and Bond angle among the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (i.e alkanes, alkenes and alkynes).

The variation in bond angles of  unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons  can be explained by two concepts; The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model and hybridization.

The VSEPR model determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of a species. The total number of electron pairs  consist of the bond pairs and lone pairs. All the electron pairs( lie charge ) will then orient themselves in such a way to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them.

As the number of the lone pairs increases from zero to 2 ; the bond angles diminish progressively.

However;

Hybridization is the mixing or blending of two or more pure atomic orbitals (s,p and d) to form two or more hybrid atomic orbitals that are identical in shape and energy . e.g sp, sp² , sp³  hybrid orbitals etc .

The shape of the geometry of this compound hence determines their bond  angle.

The shape of the geometry of ethane is tetrahedral which is 109.5° in bond angle while that of ethylene is trigonal planar which is 120°.

This is why the HCH bond angle in ethylene is longer  the HCH bond angle in ethane .

How many grams of Fe can be produced when 6.50 g of Fe2O3 reacts?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Mass of Fe produced = 4.468 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe produced = ?

Mass of Fe₂O₃ react = 6.50 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Fe₂O₃        →     4Fe + 3O₂

Number of moles of Fe₂O₃ ;

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.50 g/159.69 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.04 mol

Now we will compare the moles of iron and ironoxide.

                    Fe₂O₃             :             Fe

                         2                :              4

                       0.04             :             4/2×0.04 = 0.08 mol

Mass of iron produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.08 mol × 55.85 g/mol

Mass = 4.468 g
