Answer:

cadaverine

Explanation:

Cadaverine is a chemical compound with the IUPAC name of pentane-1,5-diamine. It is a chemical compound that emits a foul odour when decomposers like bacteria act on dead animal tissues.

Cadaverine is a product of protein hydrolysis by bacteria in dead tissues, specifically when amino acid LYSINE is decarboxylated. Hence, cadaverine is the compound responsible for the terrible smell produced when a dead animal is being decomposed.

When the equation below is balanced with the smallest possible integer coefficients, what is the coefficient for PH3?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 4x H (in P2H4), on the right side we have 3x H (in PH3). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply P2H4 on the left side by 3 and PH3 on the right by 4.

3P2H4(g ) ⇆ 4PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 6x P (in 3P2H4) on the right side we have 8x P (4x in 4PH3 and 4x in P4). To balance the amount of P on bot hsides, we have to multiply 3P2H4 by 2 and 4PH3 also by 2. Now the equation is balanced

6P2H4(g ) ⇆ 8PH3(g) + P4(s)

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

4Zn_(_s_)~+~7OH^-~_(_a_q_)~+~NO_3^-_(_a_q_)~+~6H_2O_(_l_)~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2_(_a_q_)~+~NH_3_(_g_)

-) Oxidizing agent: NO_3^-_(_a_q_)

-) Reducing agent: Zn_(_s_)

Explanation:

The first step is separate the reaction into the <u>semireactions</u>:

A.Zn~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2

B.NO_3^-~->~NH_3

If we want to balance in <u>basic medium </u>we have to follow the rules:

1. We adjust the oxygen with OH^-

2. We adjust the H with H_2O

3. We adjust the charge with e^-

Lets balance the first semireaction A. :

Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-

Now, lets balance semireaction B:

NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-

Finally, we have to add the two semireactions:

_________________________________________

8~(Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-)

2~(NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-)

_________________________________________

(8Zn~+~32OH^-~->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~16e^-)

(2NO_3^-~+~16e^-~+~12H_2O~->~2NH_3~+~18OH^-)

Cancel out the species on both sides:

8Zn~+~14OH^-~+~2NO_3^-~+~12H_2O~-->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2NH_3

Simplifying the equation :

4Zn~+~7OH^-~+~NO_3^-~+~6H_2O~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~NH_3

The Zn_(_s_) is <u>oxidized</u> therefefore is the <u>reducing agent</u>. The NO_3^-_(_a_q_)is<u> reduced</u> therefore is the <u>oxidizing agent</u>.

1.00 mole of an ideal monoatomic gas at STP first undergoes isothermal expansion so that the volume at b is 2.5 times the volume
MrRa [10]

Answer:

the pressure at c = 0.27 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

number of moles (n) = 1.0 moles

Value of gamma in the monoatomic gas (γ) = 5/3

During an isothermal expansion, the volume at b is = 2.5 times the volume at a ; this implies that:

V_b = 2.5 V_a

∴ To calculate  the pressure at c from a; the process is adiabatic compression; so we apply:

P_aV_a^\gamma=P_cV_c^\gamma

\frac{P_c}{P_a}=[\frac{V_a}{V_c}]^{(2/3)

\frac{P_c}{1.0 atm}=[\frac{1}{2.5}]^{(2/3)

P_c=0.27 atm

Thus, the pressure at c = 0.27 atm

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

<h3>If the substance has high melting/boiling point, if it requires high temperature to dissociate into simpler particles, if it's structure is hard and if it conducts heat and electricity quite frequently, then it would be "Ionic compound" otherwise, it will be covalent compound.</h3>
