What happens to Earth’s axis of rotation as Earth orbits the Sun?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:As the Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt of Earth's axis stays lined up with the North Star. The North Pole is tilted towards the Sun and the Sun's rays strike the Northern Hemisphere more directly in summer. ... The tilt of Earth's axis points away from the Sun.

What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?

katovenus [111]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

An oxide-reduction reaction or, simply, redox reaction, is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reactants, causing a change in their oxidation states, which is the hypothetical electric charge that the atom would have if all its links with different elements were 100% ionic.

For there to be a reduction-oxidation reaction, in the system there must be an element that yields electrons and another that accepts them:

The oxidizing agent picks up electrons and remains with a state of oxidation inferior to that which it had, that is, it is reduced.
The reducing agent supplies electrons from its chemical structure to the medium, increasing its oxidation state, ie, being oxidized.

To balance a redox equation you must identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced and the amount of electrons that they release or capture, respectively.

In the reaction that arises in the question the silver (Ag) is reduced because it decreases its oxidation state from +1 to 0 and the aluminum (Al) is oxidized because its oxidation state increases from 0 to +3, releasing 3 electrons (e⁻). Then we can raise two half-reactions:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻

In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must multiply the first half-reaction by 3 so that, when both half-reactions are added, the electrons are canceled. In this way:

(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰ ) x3

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ +

-------------------------------------

3Ag⁺ + Al⁰ → 3Ag⁰ + Al⁺³

So, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation is 3.

Water has which of the following IMFs present between molecules?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Water has strong hydrogen bond dipole-dipole intermolecular forces that give water a high surface tension and a high heat of vaporization and that make it a strong solvent.

Name the following alkyne. Please help me <3

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

D. 7-methyl-3-octyne

Explanation:

1) Identify the parent chain and name it like an alkane.

• The longest chain of carbons, which consists of the functional group (which is the alkyne group in this case: C≡C).

• There are 8 carbons in the longest chain, so it is called an octane.

2) Now, identify the location of the functional group.

• The location number of the functional group should be as low as possible. Thus although we could count from the right, we start counting from the left since the functional group is closer to the left. From the left, the functional group would be at carbon 8 while from the left, it is on carbon 3.

• Replace 'ane' with 'yne' in octane for the alkyne group.

• This would give us 3-octyne.

3) Lastly, add in the name of the branch.

• Here we have one branch, -CH₃. This is read as methyl.

• Identify the location number of the branch by counting the number of carbons in the same direction as when we counted the location number of the functional group. The methyl branch has a location number of 7.

• Adding the name of the branch before the parent chain, we would arrive at 7-methyl-3-octyne as the IUPAC name of the alkyne.

Further Explanation:

A) This option is incorrect as there are only 8 carbons in the parent chain. Although there are 9 carbons in total, the 9th carbon is taken care of in '7-methyl'.

B) Location number of the functional group should be as low as possible, so start counting the number of carbons from the left!

C) Since the functional group is an alkyne, the word 'octane' should be 'octyne' instead.

When co2 levels are low and o2 levels are high, rubisco adds an o2 molecule to rubp. what are the consequences of this reaction?

marissa [1.9K]

Rubisco is an important enzyme that helps in making lifeless carbon of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a short sugar chain with five carbon atoms that has rubp as its shortcut. Rubisco then clips the lengthened chain into to polyglycerate pices, which are pretty flexible molecules and are also used in the feeding of the plant. Most of it is used in the photosynthesis pathway, but some of it is used to make sucrose (table sugar) to feed the rest of the plant, or stored away in the form of starch for later use. Hence, rubisco is crucial in the storing of the energy that is created from photosynthesis.
