Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Answer: A. The reaction takes place in one step.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction.

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

aA=bB\rightarrow cC+dD

Rate=k[A]^a[B]^b

k= rate constant

a= order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Which of the following can cause muscle fatigue ?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is -all of the above.

Explanation:

Muscle fatigue is a reduced ability in work capacity caused by work itself. It is known that altering oxygen is contracting skeletal muscle affects performance. Reduced O2 supply increases the rate of muscle fatigue.

The lactic acid is accumulated as it forms rapidly but the breaking of the lactic acid is slow down, which causes muscle fatigue. Less ATP and glycogen in muscle results in fatigue as the muscle is not able to generate energy to power contractions and therefore contributes to muscle fatigue.
