Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.

Answer:

D. +5.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar free energy (ΔG) in the transportation of uncharged molecules as glucse through a cell membrane from the exterior to the interior of the cell is defined as:

ΔG = RT ln C in / C out

knowing R is 8,314472 kJ/molK; T is 298K Cin = 200mM and Cout = 20mM

ΔG = 5,7 kJ/mol

Right answer is:

D. +5.7 kJ/mol

I hope it helps!

What is the relationship between the number of particles and the overall pressure?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law). Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules

Which statement correctly relates two substances from this reaction?
Marta_Voda [28]

We have to know which two substances are related correctly.

The correct answer is: (C) H₃O⁺ is the conjugate acid of H₂O.

In an acid-base reaction, an acid reacts with a base and gives a conjugate base and conjugate acid. The reaction is shown below:

Acid₁ + Base₂ ⇄ Conjugate Base₁ + Conjugate Acid₂

In the reaction H₂CO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + HCO₃⁻, H₂CO₃  is an acid because it releases H⁺ ion and converts to HCO₃⁻. Here HCO₃⁻ is the conjugate base of H₂CO₃ ( according Arrhenius theory).

H₂O accepts H⁺ ion and is converted to H₃O⁺ , thus H₂O behaves as Bronsted base. So, H₃O⁺ is the conjugate acid of Bronsted base H₂O.

Hence, the correct answer is: (C) H₃O⁺ is the conjugate acid of H₂O.
