• What is an ion, and what makes a compound "ionic"?

1 answer:

5 0

Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, giving them a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, so they become cations and have a net positive charge. ... Ions of opposite charge are held together by very strong ionic bonds within the compound.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! THIS IS A 30 POINT QUESTION!!!

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein synthesis involves two major steps:

Transcription of the DNA to mRNA (a form of RNA)
Translation of the mRNA molecule into a protein.

Transcription involves the formation of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the DNA molecule, with the pairing of a different base, Uracil, with Guanine instead of the usual Thymine base. This occurs in the nucleus of the cell, and the resulting molecule is known as the mRNA.

This mRNA is transported into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore for the next step, translation. This is primarily accomplished by ribosomes and tRNA molecules which are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The result of this step is the generation of a protein molecule.

Answer:

B.) A hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense and sinks.

Explanation:

Convention is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

What factors affect the dynamic state of equilibrium in a chemical reaction and how?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Only changes in temperature will influence the equilibrium constant $K_c$ . The system will shift in response to certain external shocks. At the new equilibrium $Q$ will still be equal to $K_c$ , but the final concentrations will be different.

The question is asking for sources of the shocks that will influence the value of $Q$ . For most reversible reactions:

External changes in the relative concentration of the products and reactants.

For some reversible reactions that involve gases:

Changes in pressure due to volume changes.

Catalysts do not influence the value of $Q$ . See explanation.

Explanation:

$\displaystyle K_c = {e}^{\Delta G/(R\cdot T)}$ .

Similar to the rate constant, the equilibrium constant $K_c$ depends only on:

$\Delta G$ the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction, and
$T$ the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvins.)

The reversible reaction is in a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. Reactants are constantly converted to products; products are constantly converted back to reactants. However, at equilibrium $Q = K_c$ the two processes balance each other. The concentration of each species will stay the same.

Factors that alter the rate of one reaction more than the other will disrupt the equilibrium. These factors shall change the rate of successful collisions and hence the reaction rate.

Changes in concentration influence the number of particles per unit space.
Changes in temperature influence both the rate of collision and the percentage of particles with sufficient energy of reaction.

For reactions that involve gases,

Changing the volume of the container will change the concentration of gases and change the reaction rate.

However, there are cases where the number of gases particles on the reactant side and the product side are equal. Rates of the forward and backward reaction will change by the same extent. In such cases, there will not be a change in the final concentrations. Similarly, catalysts change the two rates by the same extent and will not change the final concentrations. Adding noble gases will also change the pressure. However, concentrations stay the same and the equilibrium position will not change.
