(4) Si-O is the most polar, since their differences in electronegativity is the highest.

Correct Answer: option 4: Si-O

Reason:
The bond polarity depends on the electronegativity difference between constituent atoms. Greater the electronegativity difference, polar is the bond. In present case, electronegativity of Si and O is 1.9 and 3.44 respectively. Hence, electronegativity difference is 1.54, which is greater as compared to other bonds on present interest. Hence, Si-O bond is considered to be more polar.

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

andreev551 [17]

Answer: The frequency of the wave is 0.5 hertz.

Explanation:

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu$ = Frequency of the wave

$c$ = speed of the light in m/s

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the wave.

Here in question we are given with speed of the infrared light. So, we will replace the value of speed of light(c) from the given value of the speed of the infrared light.

Speed of infrared light = 6 m/s

$\nu =\frac{\text{speed of infrared light}}{\lambda }=\frac{6 m/s}{12 m}=0.5 hertz$

The frequency of the wave is 0.5 hertz.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 2 moles of solute in 4 liters of solution?

Nitella [24]

The simple formula is C = n/V
n = mols
C = Concentration or Molarity
V = Volume in Liters.

n = 2
V = 4
C = 2 / 4
C = 0.5 mol/Litre

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

What is the molar mass of Na2CO3? 60.0 g/mol 106.0 g/mol 118.0 g/mol 141.0 g/mol

Dmitry [639]

Answer is: the molar mass od sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is 106.0 g/mol.

M(Na₂CO₃) = 2 · Ar(Na) + Ar(C) + 3 · Ar(O).

M(Na₂CO₃) = 2 · 23 + 12 + 3 · 16 · g/mol.

M(Na₂CO₃) = 46 + 12 + 48 · g/mol.

M(Na₂CO₃) = 106 g/mol; molar mass of sodium carbonate.

Ar is relative atomic mass (the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element to one unified atomic mass unit) of an element.
