Answer:

An atom of Bromine (Br) forms an ion and becomes Br⁻

Explanation:

Atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s) to attain a stable configuration and form ions.
When an atom gains electron(s) it forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
For example, Bromine is a halogen and its atom requires to gain one electron to attain stability and form a bromine ion (Br⁻).
When an atom loses electron(s) it forms a positively charged ion called a cation.
For instance, atoms of calcium(Ca) requires to lose two electrons to attain stability and form calcium ion (Ca²⁺).

How to draw Hess' Cycle for this question ?

NISA [10]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ/mole$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.7kJ/mole$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.9kJ/mole$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ/mole$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.7kJ/mole)=-787.4kJ/mole$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.9kJ/mole)=-571.8kJ/mole$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ/mole)+(-787.4kJ/mole)+(-571.8kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=51.8kJ/mole$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 51.8 kJ/mole

How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?

STatiana [176]

Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

D) One half of the carbon atoms of newly synthesized acetyl CoA.

Explanation:

It will be radioactively labeled because Malonyl CoA which contains 3 Carbon molecule is synthesized from Acetyl CoA which has 2 Carbon molecule.

This happens with the addition of ‘CO2’ with the help of the enzyme called acetyl CoA carboxylase.
