What is a radical in science

1 answer:

7 0

Radical In chemistry, radicals are atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration. These unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive, so radicals are likely to take part in chemical reactions.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

1) Favor formation of reactant

2) Favor formation of product

3) Favor formation of product

4) Favor formation of product

5) Favor formation of product

Explanation:

The reaction is $AgBr(s)--->Ag^{+}(aq)+Br^{-}(aq)$

The reaction is endothermic

1. Adding hydrobromic acid (HBr)

It will increase the amount of bromide ion. Bromide ion is one of the product so it will favor formation of reactant.

2. Lowering the concentration of bromide (Br-) ions

As we are decreasing the the concentration of product it will favor formation of more products

3. Heating the concentrations

If we are heating the mixture, it will increase the temperature and it will favor endothermic reaction. Thus will favor formation of product.

4. Adding solid silver bromide (AgBr)

If we are adding silver bromide it means we are increasing the concentration of reactant, it will favor formation of products

5. Removing silver (Ag+) ions

Removing silver ions means we are decreasing the concentration of product thus it will favor formation of products.

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.

Given the following balanced equation, if the rate of O2 loss is 3.64 × 10-3 M/s, what is the rate of formation of SO3? 2 SO2(g)

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

According to equation 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)

Rate of disappearance of reactants = rate of appearance of products

⇒ $-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{2} ]}{dt} = -\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[SO_{3} ]}{dt}$ -----------------------------(1)

Given that the rate of disappearance of oxygen = $-\frac{d[O_{2} ]}{dt}$ = 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = ?

from equation (1) we can write

$\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt} = 2 [-\frac{d[O_{2}] }{dt} ]$

⇒ $\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}$ = 2 x 3.64 x 10⁻³ M/s

⇒ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

∴ So the rate of formation of SO₃ $[\frac{d[SO_{3}] }{dt}]$ = 7.28 x 10⁻³ M/s

Help please ;( really don’t understand Chemistry would really appreciate it if can explain to me thank you!

Tanya [424]

Answer:

b) O₂

d) CH₄

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the reactants are the substances that are written on the left side. The reactants react to produce the products. On the right side, the products are written.

The arrow => is used to separate the reactants from the products.

To the left of the arrow, you can see this written:

CH₄ + 2O₂

The plus sign + is used to separate each reactant.

In 2O₂ you can ignore the big 2 because it is a coefficient, which is written to balance the equation.

The reactants are CH₄ and O₂
