Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

2. The approximate concentration of hydrochloric acid, HCl, in the stomach (stomach
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a) 0.714g of bicarbonate of soda are required.

b) 0.221g of Al(OH)₃ are required

Explanation:

The reactions of HCl with bicarbonate of soda and aluminium hydroxide are:

HCl + NaHCO₃ → H₂O + NaCl + CO₂

3 HCl + Al(OH)₃ → 3H₂O + AlCl₃

The moles of HCl that we need neutralize are:

50mL = 0.050L * (0.17mol / L) = 0.0085 moles HCl

To solve these problem we need to find the moles of the antacid using the chemical reaction and its mass using its molar mass;

<em>a) </em><em>Moles NaHCO₃ = Moles HCl = 0.0085 moles </em>

The mass is -Molar mass NaHCO₃: -84g/mol-

0.0085 moles * (84g / mol) = 0.714g of bicarbonate of soda are required

b) 0.0085 moles HCl * (1mol Al(OH)₃ / 3mol HCl) = 2.83x10⁻³ moles Al(OH)₃

The mass is -Molar mass: 78g/mol-:

2.83x10⁻³ moles Al(OH)₃ * (78g/mol) =

<h3>0.221g of Al(OH)₃ are required</h3>

Which of these tasks falls under the responsibility of a forensic scientist?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Training officers in how to properly collect evidence

Explanation:

Forensic science is an interesting branch of science that involves the use of scientific procedures to solve a crime case. It encompasses collection of physical evidence from the crime scene and analyzing it in a laboratory using scientific means.

A forensic scientist is the individual in charge of performing these scientific procedures. His/her major role is to run the scientific analysis of the physical evidence brought in by the officers, however, he/she can also perform the task of training officers in how to properly collect evidence, in order not to damage the evidence or render it invalid for use.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right

2Fe(OH)3 Fe2O3+3H2O how many grams of Fe2O3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe (OH)3 react in this way
sasho [114]

Answer: 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{10.7g}{106.87g/mol}=0.100mol  

The chemical equation for the reaction is

2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce = 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 0.100 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.100=0.05mol of Fe_2O_3  

Mass of Fe_2O_3 =moles\times {\text{Molar Mass}}=0.05mol\times 159.69g/mol=7.98g  

Hence 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.

How does pH affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? How does affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions? Energy stored in protons is used to d
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The concentration of protons affects an enzyme's folded structure and reactivity.

Explanation:

Enzymes act within narrow pH limits (optimal reaction pH). Since most enzymes have a protein structure, the variation in pH or temperature affects their enzymatic activity.

To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme binds to one or more reagent molecules. These molecules are the substrates of the enzyme.

In some reactions, a substrate breaks into several products. In others, two substrates join together to create a larger molecule or to exchange parts. In fact, for any biological reaction that can occur to you, there is probably an enzyme to accelerate it.

The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.

The amino acid residues of the active site often have acidic or basic properties that are important for catalysis. Changes in pH can affect these residues and make binding with the substrate difficult.
