Explanation :

Zwitter ion : An ion or molecule having separate negatively and positively charged groups.

Methionine is an amino acid with sulfur atom in its molecule .The proton from carboxylic group with get attached to amino group present in the methionine and negative charge will be generated on oxygen atom of a carboxylic group which will get in conjugation with an another oxygen atom of the carboxylic group.

The positive charge will generated on the nitrogen atom due attachment of the proton from the carboxylic group.

As shown in the image attached.

Methionine is an amino acid and like some amino acid, it has a zwitterion form. A zwitterion form is a form of molecule showing separate positive and negative charges. The hydrogen from the carboxylic acid group will transfer to the amino group producing a negative charge at the carboxyl group and a positive charge at the amino group.

Does beryllium (Be) or Sodium (Na) have the same electron arrangement as Magnesium (Mg)? Why?

Finger [1]

Answer:

Na has the most similar configuration.

Explanation:

Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁

Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²

Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²

This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).

Germanium is a group 4A semiconductor. The addition of a dopant atom (group 3A element) that has fewer valence electrons than th

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Doping with galium or indium will yield a p-type semiconductor while doping with arsenic, antimony or phosphorus will yield an n-type semiconductor.

Explanation:

Doping refers to improving the conductivity of a semiconductor by addition of impurities. A trivalent impurity leads to p-type semiconductor while a pentavalent impurity leads to an n-type semiconductor.

Para la siguiente reacción química demuestre que cumple con la Ley de la Conservación de la Materia. Recuerde que debe justifica

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

In this chemical reaction, which is considered irreversible, that is why the reaction arrow is ONE and unidirectional and not two in opposite directions, which means reversibility of the reaction.

In summary, if we look closely at the reaction, we observe that the stoichiometric values are balanced in the reaction, therefore there is THE SAME AMOUNT OF REAGENTS AS PRODUCTS.

This phenomenon has to be met in ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS, the stoichiometric balance is essential for this reaction to be well expressed.

Why is stoichiometric balance so important? Why we indicate that we have the same amount of reagents as products, means that NOTHING IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS TRANSFORMED in the matter of the organic compounds that reacted.

Explanation:

Although if we observe the stoichiometric values well they are not correct with respect to oxygen, therefore it would be necessary to correct that in the chemical reaction, but above we briefly explain why the balancing of the reactions and the relationship they have with the conservation of the mass.

The law of conservation of mass indicates that mass is never lost, but is transformed, like energy, considering that it happens in terrestrial life.

It was calculated that 4.3mL of 0.417 M HCl is required to titrate 11.9 mL of 0.151 M Mg(OH)2. Show evidence 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described chemical reaction:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:

$n_{HCl}=2*n_{Mg(OH)_2}$

And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:

$V_{HCl}M_{HCl}=2*V_{Mg(OH)_2}M_{Mg(OH)_2}$

So we use the given data to proof it:

$4.3mL*0.417M=2*11.9mL*0.151M\\1.793=3.594$

Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.

Best regards.
