Ionic salts are used for melting ice on roads for two reasons: they are effective at lowering the freezing point when they disso

lve in the water and they sometimes release heat when they dissolve in the water.
The heat of solution depends on the energy involved in breaking apart the salt and the energy involved in dissolving the ions in water (hydration). The enthalpy of hydration for each ion depends on the strength of the intermolecular force between the ion and water, which is electrostatic and follows Coulomb's law.
Rank the following in order of their predicted ability to melt ice due to their heat of solution:
1 = best at melting ice; 3 = worst at melting ice
A. NaCl
B. KCl
C. CaCl2

Answer:

CaCl2=1

KCl=3

Explanation:

CaCl2 has a very high heat of solution hence it is best at melting ice. It is better than all the other salts mentioned. Its dissolution in water produces a lot of heat which melts the ice.

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c
goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are <u>proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups</u>. Cytochromes <u>undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome</u>:

Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes <em>b</em> and <em>c₁</em>, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome <em>c</em>, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome <em>c</em>, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes <em>a</em>, <em>a₃</em> and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is <u>more electronegative</u><u> than its neighbor </u>"upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the <u>electrons fall in an energetic gradient</u> in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the <u>electronegative oxygen atom</u>.

Calculate the mean kinetic energy {e1rans) in joules of the following molecules at 350 k: (a) he, (b) co2, and (c) uf6. explain
Lady bird [3.3K]

The mean kinetic energy per molecule is , where  is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.

So at 1000°C, the T = 1273.15 K, kB=1.38 × 10-23, therefore the mean kinetic energy is 2.635 × 10⁻²⁰J.

<h3><u>What is Kinetic energy ?</u></h3>

The energy an item has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an item in order to accelerate it. We must put forth effort in order to apply a force. After the job is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transmitted and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy may be converted into other types of energy and transported between things. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's original kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the impact.

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.
