Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $HCN$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $HCN$ = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

What type of star has an absolute brightness of 1 and a surface temperature around 7,500 °C?

marta [7]

<span>A dim white dwarf star, this is a star with a similar mass to earth. This star has no further fusion reactions at it's core. After this type of star has used up all of it's energy it will become a black dwarf star. Usually they are composed of oxygen and carbon. Sirius a and b are both white dwarf stars that orbit each other.</span>

Calculate the amount of ATP in kg that is turned over by a resting human every 24 hours. Assume that a typical human contains ~5

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 66.35 kilograms.

Explanation:

Based on the data given in the question, the energy consumed by the body of a human being is 50%. Based on the given data, the energy consumed in a day is 8000 kJ, 50 percent is the energy transfer efficiency. Thus, the consumption of total energy is 4000 kJ, and for the transformation of ADP to ATP, the energy involved is 30.6 kJ per mole.

Hence, the total ATP produced in the process is,

ATP = 4000 kJ / 30.6 kJ/mol

= 130.7189 mol.

Thus, with the energy transfer efficiency of 50 percent, the total moles of ATP produced is 130.7 mol.

The mass of ATP can be calculated by using the formula,

moles = mass/molecular mass

The molecular mass of ATP is 507.18 g per mol

Now by putting the values we get,

mass of ATP = 130.7189 mol * 507.18 g/mol

= 66298.011 g or 66.298 kg

It is mentioned that human comprise 50 g of ATP or 0.05 kg of ATP. Therefore, the sum of the available ATP will be.

= Total production of ATP + Total ATP available

= 66.298 kg + 0.05 kg

= 66.348 kg

Hence, the sum of the ATP that is turned over by a resting human in a day is 66.35 kg.

What is composed of two different atoms?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: When atoms combine through chemical bonding, they form compounds—unique structures composed of two or more atoms. The basic composition of a compound can be indicated using a chemical formula.
