Answer:

Honestly, while Hydrogen appears to be in group 1, it really isn't. It is unique, and has no characteristics similar to others, especially to the alkali metals in group 1 and halogens in group 17.

Hydrogen only shares one thing with alkali metals. It has one electron in the outermost shell, and has a valency of one. As far as halogens go, Hydrogen is a reducing agent, and halogens are known for being oxidizing agents.

So, I can say that more research needs to be done on Hydrogen. In the meantime, it is quite unique. Thanks!

It is known that 32g of oxygen takes up 24 litres of space at 25oC. Calculate the volume of oxygen that is needed to react compl

Gwar [14]

6 L of oxygen (O₂)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

Now we calculate the number of moles of magnesium:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of Mg = 12 / 24 = 0.5 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 2 moles of Mg react with 1 mole of O₂

then 0.5 moles of Mg react with X moles of O₂

X = (0.5 × 1) / 2 = 0.25 mole of O₂

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of O₂ = 0.25 × 32 = 8 g

Knowing the information given by the problem that 32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space, we devise the following reasoning:

if 32 g of O₂ takes up 24 liters of space

then 8 g of O₂ takes up Y liters of space

Y = (8 × 24) / 32 = 6 L of O₂

A carbon nanoparticle (very small particle) contains 8000 carbon atoms. According to the Einstein model of a solid, how many osc

Rudiy27

Answer:

24000

Explanation:

Given that:

The numbers of carbon atoms = 8000

According to the Einstein model of solid;

Einstein’s model assumes that each atom of the solid vibrates around its position of equilibrium independently of the other atoms (which amounts to neglecting the interactions between particles.

Number of oscillators = 3(8000)

Number of oscillators = 24000

The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation- $k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}$ , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, $E_{a}$ is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

$\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}$

Here $\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005}$ , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and $E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol$

So, $\frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}$

$\Rightarrow$ $E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol$ (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol

a nuclide of 64/29 cu absorbs a positron. witch is the resulting atom? (A) 65/29Cu (B) 63/29 CU (C) 64/28Ni (D) 64/30 Zn

Nesterboy [21]

Answer : Option D) $Zn^{64}_{30}$

Explanation : When a positron is getting absorbed it means it will be $e^{+1}_{0}$ so, the $Cu^{64}_{29}$ will get converted;

So, the whole reaction will be;

$Cu^{64}_{29}$ + $e^{+1}_{0}$ ----> $Zn^{64}_{30}$ .

This will convert the whole element of Cu will get changed into Zn. As, it absorbs by the positron, the atomic number gets increased from 29 to 30.
