Answer:

b) water molecule has a bent shape

Explanation:

In the context of chemical bonds, polarity refers to the separation of charges i.e. the distribution of electrons between the atoms constituting the bond. This charge separation creates a dipole.

Similarly polar molecules are made of polar bonds in which the bond dipoles add up such that there is a net dipole moment.

In water(H2O), the central O atom is more electronegative than H which creates a dipole directed towards the O atom. In addition, due bent shape of H2O the dipole moments add up (instead of cancelling out if it were linear) resulting in a net dipole which makes water polar.

Suppose a grill lighter contains 50.0 g of butane. How many grams of butane in the lighter would have to be burned to produce 17
Hitman42 [59]

<span>Answer is: mass of burned butane is 11.6 g.</span>

Chemical reaction: 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O.

m(butane) = 50,0 g.

<span> V(CO</span>₂) = 17,9 L.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = V(CO₂) ÷ Vm.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = 17,9 L ÷ 22,4 L/mol.<span>
n(CO</span>₂) = 0,8 mol.<span>
From chemical reaction n(CO</span>₂) : n(C₄H₁₀) = 8 : 2.<span>
n(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,8 mol ÷ 4.<span>
n(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,2 mol.<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = n(C₄H₁₀) · M(C₄H₁₀).<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 0,2 mol · 58 g/mol.<span>
m(C</span>₄H₁₀) = 11,6 g.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Inhibition and tolerance.

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitors are characterized by being chemicals that are similar to the normal substrate. While non-competitive inhibitors are chemicals that bind to the enzyme and alter its shape. This renders the active site of the enzyme ineffective against the substrate. Tolerance makes a society that is fair and equitable.

The side chain of histidine has a typical pKa value in the range of 6.5-7.4. However, when analyzing the pKa values in a particu
Leona [35]

Answer:

Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Explanation:

The microenvironment around a amino acid residue can impact its pKa value according with the Born effect. If there is a positively charged environment, like in the second option, the pKa value will decrease, just as it happens in the histidine residue. So the correct answers are 1 and 2.
