Answer:

The correct option is: (D) would function as both an acid and a base

Explanation:

A carbon skeleton bonded to a amino group as well as a carboxyl group, will behave as an acid in basic medium and base in acidic medium. This is because the carboxyl group present in the compound will release a proton in basic medium and the amino group will accept a proton in the acidic medium.

Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.

Brass is a substitutional alloy consisting of a solution of copper and zinc. A particular sample of red brass consisting of 79.0

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

Explanation:

Solute is the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a mixture and solvent is the substance which is present in larger proportion in a mixture.

We are given:

(m/m) % of Cu = 79 %

This means that 79 g of copper is present in 100 grams of alloy.

(m/m) % of Zn = 21 %

This means that 21 g of zinc is present in 100 grams of alloy.

As, zinc is present in smaller proportion. So, it is solute and copper is the solvent.

Calculating molality of zinc:

To calculate molality of the zinc, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (Zinc ) = 21 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (Zinc) = 65.3 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (copper) = 79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of Zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 79}\\\\\text{Molality of zinc}=4.07m$

Calculating molarity of zinc:

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of solution = $8740kg/m^3=\frac{8740kg\frac{1000g}{1kg}}{1m^3\times \frac{10^6cm^3}{1m^3}}=\frac{8740g}{1000cm^3}=8.740g/cm^3$

(Conversion factors used are: 1 kg = 1000 g & $1m^3=10^6cm^3$ )

Mass of solution = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$8.740g/cm^3=\frac{100.0g}{\text{Volume of zinc}}\\\\\text{Volume of zinc}=11.44cm^3$

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molar mass of zinc = 65.3 g/mol

Volume of solution = $11.44cm^3=11.44mL$ (Conversion factor: $1cm^3=1mL$ )

Mass of zinc = 21.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 11.44}=28.11M$

Hence, the molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

A magnesium ion, Mg2+, is formed from a magnesium atom, Mg.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The correct row is B.

Explanation:

The formation of the magnesium ion, Mg²⁺, comes from the removal of 2 electrons from the valence shell of the magnesium atom. Since the remotion is of electrons, the nucleus of the atom remains the same, so the number of protons and the number of neutrons does not change.

If the number of proton change, then the atom also change, since the identity of an atom is related to the atomic number which is the same to the proton number.

Now, if the number of neutrons changes, then we would be in the presence of an isotope of the magnesium atom.

Therefore, the correct row is B.

I hope it helps you!

A student sees a change in mass in the lab when mixing two chemicals what is a possible explanation?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The mixing of two chemicals may result in the production of a gas which is lost to the air. This will reduce the mass of the chemical mixture, because mass is being lost in a gaseous form.
