<em>Answer:</em>

The NaCl has more attraction as compare to KCl.

<em>Explanation:</em>

As we know down the group size is increases.
As the size of K is greater than Sodium.
Due to greater size of atom, the distance between the K and Cl is greater than NaCl .
Due to greater distance between the atoms , attraction become less.

<em>Summary:</em>

Greater size (greater radius) between atoms , lesser will be attraction.

If 3.8 moles of zinc metal react with 6.5 moles of silver nitrate, how many moles of silver metal can be formed, and how many mo

bulgar [2K]

<u>Answer:</u> 6.5 moles of silver metal is formed in the given chemical reaction. The moles of excess reagent left are 0.55 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of silver formed and the moles of excess reagent left after the reaction, we need to balance the equation first and need to find the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

By Stoichiometry:

2 moles of Silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of Zinc metal

So, 6.5 moles of silver nitrate will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 6.5=3.25moles$ of zinc metal

The required amount of zinc metal is less than the given amount of zinc metal, hence, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Therefore, silver nitrate is the limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 2 moles of silver metal

So, 6.5 moles of silver nitrate will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 6.5=6.5moles$ of silver metal.

Number of moles of excess reagent left after the completion of reaction = (3.8 - 3.25)moles = 0.55 moles

Hence, 6.5 moles of silver metal is formed in the given chemical reaction. The moles of excess reagent left are 0.55 moles.

The following reaction has an equilibrium constant (Keq) of 1 under standard conditions and can be catalysed by the enzyme aspar

Trava [24]

Answer:

What is the AGⓇ of this reaction? 0.
Which will be favoured - the forward reaction, the reverse reaction, or neither? Neither.
What effect does the presence of the enzyme aspartate transaminase have on the Key value when compared with its value in the absence of enzyme? It does not affect the value of Keq.
If one of the products of reaction 1, oxaloacetate, is removed by converting it to citrate as follows: Reaction 2: oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA citrate + COASH will the key for Reaction l be changed? No, the Keq does not change.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the delta G of a reaction given the K, we use the following equation:

ΔG°= -RT ln K.

Which gives us 0 when K is 1.

2.None of the reactions is favoured. Given that the K equals 1, the system will try to keep the concentration of both products and reagents the same.

3. A catalyst is a substance that, when added, provides a different and faster mechanism through which a reaction takes place. This only means that the speed at which the equilibrium is attained is reduced, but the enzyme does nothing to alter the difference in energy (ΔG°) of the start and end points of the reaction, which ultimately gives us the value of Keq.

4. The addition of a side reaction does not change the value of Keq for the main reaction. They are both separate ways of making oxaloacetate disappear. While the Keq does not change, keep in mind that the end concentrations will not be the same, for any set of starting concentrations of your substances.

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.979 amu, 92.21% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu 4.70% abunda

bezimeni [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

<u>For isotope 1:</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 27.979 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 92.21 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9212

<u>For isotope 2:</u>

Mass of isotope 2 = 28.976 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 4.70 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0470

<u>For isotope 3:</u>

Mass of isotope 3 = 29.974 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 3.09 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0309

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=[(27.979\times 0.9212)+(28.976\times 0.0470)+(29.974\times 0.0309)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=28.09amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu
