Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0.

B. The number of single bonds = 3.

C. The number of double bonds = 0.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as shown on the attached picture containing the required Lewis structure of boron chloride, we can see that:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0 since all the three valance electrons are bonded with the chlorine atoms.

B. The number of single bonds = 3 as each chlorine atom needs only one bond to obey the octet.

C. The number of double bonds = 0 considering the previous explanation.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet since it reaches six electrons only from its initial three and other three provided by the three chlorine atoms.

Regards.

What mass of aluminum is produced by the decomposition of 5.0 kg al2o3?
Nina [5.8K]
The  mass for  of aluminum that is produced  by  the decomposition  of  5.0 Kg Al2O3 is 2647 g or 2.647  Kg

          calculation
  Write  the equation for decomposition  of Al2O3

Al2O3 = 2Al  + 3 O2

find the  moles  of  Al2O3 =  mass/molar mass

convert  5 Kg  to g   = 5 x1000 = 5000 grams
molar mass of  Al2O3 =  27 x2 + 16 x3  = 102 g/mol

 moles =5000 g/  102 g/mol = 49.0196 moles

by use  of mole ratio between Al2O3 to  Al  which is 1:2  the moles of Al = 49.0196 x2 =98.0392  moles


mass of  Al = moles x molar  mass

= 98.0392 moles x  27g/mol = 2647  grams  or 2647/1000 = 2.647 Kg

Codons.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

1. C- Three.

2. A- Methionine

3. D- Translocation.

4. C- OH.

5. A - 5'

6. A - 3' carbon

7. A. adenine and guanine

Explanation:

1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.

2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.

3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.

4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).

5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.

6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.

7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).

A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction tums them into gaseous products. The cylinder h
erastova [34]

Answer:

The reaction is exothermic

The temperature of the water bath goes up

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which energy flows out of the reaction system.

In this case, the system is the reaction vessel while the surrounding is the water bath. We see in the question that 300.1J of heat flows out of the system during the reaction. This is heat lost to the surroundings showing that the reaction is exothermic.

As energy is lost to the surroundings, the temperature of the water bath rises accordingly.
