Answer:

The ability to do work

Explanation:

Energy refers to the ability to carry out work.
It is measured in Joules (J).
Energy may exist in different forms such as potential energy when a body is at rest, kinetic energy when the body is in motion, etc.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, however, it can be transformed from one form to another. For example, chemical energy may be transformed into mechanical energy or other forms of energy.

If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s) of a reaction, would you expect any substrate to form?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Provided the reaction that leads to the formation of the products can proceed in both forward and backward directions, the correct answer would be yes because the reaction will proceed backward until equilibrium is reached.

For a reaction that can proceed both forward and backward, the addition of a catalyst increases the rate of reaction in both directions based on the fact that a catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction.

Hence, if an enzyme is added to the product of a reaction that has the potential to proceed in both forward and reverse reactions, a substrate would be expected to form because the reaction will proceed backward until an equilibrium is reached.

The correct option is e.

Please help me balance: _NaNO3 + _PbO_ ➡️ Pb(NO3)2 + _Na2O

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The balanced reaction is given by,

$2NaN(O)3 + PbO$ ⇒ $Pb(NO3)2 + Na2O$

Explanation:

The reaction is as given.

Lets count the number of each elements in the reaction.

In reactant side, number of sodium atoms are 1 , lead are 1, nitrogen are 1 and oxygen are 4.

in product side, number of sodium atoms are 2 , lead are 1 , nitrogen are 2 and oxygen are 7.

So we need to balance sodium and oxygen atoms in the reaction.

There is deficient of sodium and oxygen atoms on reactant side.

Thus, multiply (NaNO3) by 2.

Thus, sodium atoms become 2 , nitrogen 2 and oxygen 6. Total 7 oxygen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is,

$2NaN(O)3 + PbO$ ⇒ $Pb(NO3)2 + Na2O$

In the molecule ClF3, chlorine makes three covalent bonds. Therefore, three of its seven valence electrons need to be unpaired.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine has electronic configuration of 2 , 8 , 7

In n = 3 there are 7 electrons out of which 2 are in s , and 5 are in p . But out of 5 electrons in p , one electron jumps into d orbital . so the electronic configuration becomes as follows

$3s^23p_x^23p_y^23p_z^1$ = 7

$3s^23p_x^23p_y^13p_z^13d_{xy}^1$

These orbitals like sp³d hybridise to form 7 degenerate orbitals out of which 2 orbitals contain electrons in pairs and rest three are singly occupied by electrons.( unpaired electrons )
