6 0

<span>Agre tested his hypothesis in a simple experiment where he compared cells which contained the protein in question with cells which did not have it. The trials were ran with artificial cells, liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble. He found that the liposomes became permeable if the protein was planted inside of the membrane.</span>

Even though so much energy is required to form a metal cation with a 2+ charge, the alkaline earth metals form halides with gene

nasty-shy [4]

The ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

<h3>What is alkaline earth metal? </h3>

The alkaline earth metals are those elements which correspond to group 2 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this group forms a cation of +2 charge.

The other elements of this group are:

Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.

<h3>What is Halogen? </h3>

The Halogen elements are present in group 17 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this groups forms anions of -1 charge.

The elements of this group are:

Fluorine, Chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

∆Hrxn = ∆H(bond broken) - ∆H(bond formed)

We have following data of bond energy in kJ/mol:

Mg—Mg = 738

Cl—Cl = -349

Mg—Cl = 783.5

Since, one mole of Mg react with one mole of Cl atom to form one mole of MgCl

∆Hrxn = 738-349-783.5

∆Hrxn = -394.5kJ/mol.

Thus, we concluded that the ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

Alka-Seltzer is a solid mixture of two substances, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid (H3C6H5O7). The substances react

laiz [17]

1) List the reactants: sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) and citric acid (H₃C₆H₅O₇).

Reactants undergo change during a chemical reaction.

2) List the products: water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and sodium citrate (Na₃C₆H₅O₇).

Products are the substances formed from chemical reactions.

3) The balanced chemical equation:

3NaHCO₃ + H₃C₆H₅O₇ → 3H₂O + 3CO₂ + Na₃C₆H₅O₇.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

2-Butene

Explanation:

The first step is the <u>ionization</u> of the acid to produce the hydronium ion. Then the OH will attack this ion to produce a <u>charged species</u> that can be stabilized when <u>H2O is produced</u>.

Then an <u>elimination</u> takes place to produce the more <u>substituted alkene</u> 2-butene and the <u>hydronium ion</u> is gain produced.
