Why is the structure of a molecule important to its function

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

Explanation:

A molecule has a characteristic size and shape. The precise shape of a molecule is usually very important to its function in the living cell. Molecular shape is crucial in biology because it determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

Write the formula for calcium chloride. Explain how you determined this formula
hichkok12 [17]

Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>

Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions. 

To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.

Boiling - when the liquid is heated to a gas.

Evaporating - when the air temperature is hotter than the surface of the liquid so the water turns into water vapor or a gas.

What is the percent yield of LiCl if I produced 30.85g LiCl and my theoretical yield was calculated to be 35.40g LiCl?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

87.15%

Explanation:

To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation

\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100

Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.

They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.

\frac{30.85}{35.40} *100\\\\ =87.15

So, the percent yield is 87.15%

An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
