Yes, they do. The process described is a chemical reaction and it implies the change of nature of reactants and, of course, the change of its properties.

To draw a Lewis structure for a

liq [111]

40 electrons

Explanation:

The N for silicon tetrachloride, SiCl₄ is 40 electrons. The needed electrons that would be used to complete the lewis structure of the compound is actually 40 electrons. This number of electron will help the compound attain a noble configuration.

The compound SiCl₄ is a covalent one. Here, there is sharing of electrons between two atoms.
In drawing the electron dot formula, one must take into account the Available electrons and the Needed electrons.
The Available electrons are sum of the valence electrons that can be accessed for the bonding. Si has 4 valence electrons, Cl has 7 valence electrons this makes a total of 4 + 7(4 atoms of chlorine), 32 available electrons.
But to make a complete octet like that of noble gases, each atom most have 8 complete outer most electrons. This is the needed number of electrons. Since there are 5 atoms i.e 4 atoms of chlorine and 1 atom of Silicon, the needed electrons will be 5x8 = 40 electrons.

Argon, which comprises almost 1 percent of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO2 but does not contrib

kykrilka [37]

B. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.

Explanation:

The property of carbon dioxide to get excited by infrared electromagnetic radiation is what qualifies it as a greenhouse gas. When infrared from the earth's surface is reflecting back to space, some of the radiation is absorbed and remitted by the carbon-dioxide molecules in the atmosphere. This causes a phenomenon called greenhouse effect that causes the atmosphere to be relatively warmer. The more the carbon dioxide molecules the more the greenhouse effect.

Benzene would react_____________.

Vlada [557]

Answer: Benzene is less reactive than methylbenzoate and more reactive than Nitrobenzene

Explanation:

This is because the methyl group on the benzene ring is an electron donating group leading to the activation of the ring and subsequently leading to more canonical resonance structure at the intermediate stage of the reaction enhancing the faster reactivity

However for the Nitrobenzene the nitro group is an electron withdrawing group leading to a slower activation and less resonance canonical structure at the reaction intermediate leading to a slower reaction than the reaction of benzene without the nitro group

Complete the reaction, which is part of the electron transport chain. The abbreviation FMN represents flavin mononucleotide. Use

Margarita [4]

Answer:

1. NADH + H⁺ + FMN + Q ⟶ NAD⁺ + FMN + QH₂

2. The reactant that is reduced is Q

3. The charge on iron on the right side is +2, Fe²⁺

Explanation:

NADH + H⁺ + FMN + Q ⟶ NAD⁺ + FMN + QH₂

The reaction above is catalysed by NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex 1), which transfers a hydride ion from NADH to FMN, from which two electrons pass through a series of of Fe-S centers to the iron-sulfur protein N-2. Electron transfer from N-2 to Ubiquinone forms QH₂

The species in a reaction which gains hydrogen irons is reduced, Therefore, the reactant that is reduced is Q, ubiquinone to form QH₂, ubiquinol.

To determine the oxidation number of iron on the right side of the reaction below,

QH2 + 2cyt c ( Fe3+) ⟶ Q + 2cyt c(Fex) + 2H^+

Sum of charges on the left side = Sum of charges on the right side

Sum of charges on the left side = 2 *+3 = +6

Therefore 2 * x + 2= 6

2x = 6 -2 = 4

x = 4/

x = 2

Therefore the charge on iron on the right side is +2, Fe²⁺

The balanced equation for water is 2 H2 + O2 to 2 H2O. If I have 21.2g of a product , and I started with 5.6 g of H2, how many g

ANTONII [103]

Since 21.2 g H2O was produced, the amount of oxygen that reacted can be obtained using stoichiometry. The balanced equation was given: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O and the molar masses of the relevant species are also listed below. Thus, the following equation is used to determine the amount of oxygen consumed.

Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

21.2 g H20 x 1 mol H2O/ 18 g H2O x 1 mol O2/ 2 mol H2O x 32 g O2/ 1 mol O2 = 18.8444 g O2

<span>We then determine that 18.84 g of O2 reacted to form 21.2 g H2O based on stoichiometry. It is important to note that we do not need to consider the amount of H2 since we can derive the amount of O2 from the product. Additionally, the amount of H2 is in excess in the reaction.</span>
