What is the versatile nature of carbon?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Carbon is a versatile element and is found in many different chemical compounds, including those found in space. Carbon is versatile because it can form single, double, and triple bonds. It can also form chains, branched chains, and rings when connected to other carbon atoms</span>

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the

Tema [17]

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent. This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge.

Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule.

However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.

Comppare and contrast sexual reproucton and asexual repructon

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Asexual reproduction involves only 1 parent. The daughter cells / offspring are the exact clones of the parent. There’s no variety. The end products are only 2 daughter cells. Sexual reproduction involves 2 parents (a mate). The offspring consists of a mixture of genes from both parents. There’s more variety to the offspring. 4 daughter cells are produced in sexual reproduction. Both undergo cell division. Asexual reproduction = mitosis Sexual reproduction = meiosis. Sexual reproduction produces the gametes, asexual produces body cells

Explain why some pesticides bioaccumulate whereas others do not

KatRina [158]

Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms.

Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Lets start by drawing the ICE chart

reaction is

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............2.6.........3.4..........................0................0

E...........1.88........2.68......................0.72............0.72

since reaction is 1 : 1 if 0.72 atm of H2 are produced then the same amount of CO2 will be formed

calculate Kp this is the relationship between the pressure of products and the pressure of reactants

Kp = Pproducts / Preactants = [Pco2* PH2] / [PCO * PH2O]

Kp = 0.72 * 0.72 / (1.88 * 2.68) = 0.1029

Write the ICE chart again

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............1.88.........2.68+1.1.................0.72................0.72

C...........-x............. -x..............................+x........................+x

E......1.88 - x...........3.78-x.....................0.72+x..... ..0.72+x

Kp is = (0.72+x)*(0.72+x) /[ (1.88-x)*(3.78-x) ] = 0.1029

lets say that x is the change of pressure.

If you solve this equation you will get a value of x equal to 0.1

Pressure of CO2 is

0.72 + 0.1= 0.82 atm

using 2 sig figures this would be

8.2x10-1 atm
