Answer:

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

Explanation:

Neon - 20 and Sodium - 23

Neon - 20

Protons = 10

Neutrons = 10

Sodium - 23

Protons = 11

Neutrons = 12

With the information above and checking the options;

An atom of neon-20 has one fewer proton and two fewer neutrons than an atom of sodium-23.

This option is correct.

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.

The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.
