Answer:

bonding capacity is based on the oxidation number. the pattern throughout families 1-2 and 13-18 is 12343210. depending on wether the elements in a family lose or gain 1-4 valence electrons is what determines the bonding capacity. for example, the elements in family one, or the Alkali family elements, lose one valence electron to become stable. this means the next outer shell has 8 valence electrons and is therefore stable. family two elements lose 2 valence electrons in order to have 8 on the outer shell. family thirteen elements lose 3 valence electrons. family fourteen can either lose or gain their four valence electrons as long as they end up with an outer shell with 8 valence electrons. family fifteen gains 3 valence electrons, 16 gains two, and 17 gains 1. family 18 doesn't lose or gain any since it is already stable. if an element loses valence electrons its oxidation number will be a positive 1,2,3, or 4. if an element gains valence electrons its oxication number will be a negative 1,2,3, or 4. the pattern of oxidation numbers is the same as the bonding capacity and it is +1,+2,+3,+4/-4,-3,-2,-1 or 0. basically if you can find the oxidation number then you can find the bonding capacity

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11

otez555 [7]

Answer:

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

$2C_{57}H_{110}O_6+163O_2\rightarrow 114CO_2+110H_2O$

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat = $\frac{2400 g}{890 g/mol}=2.6966 mol$

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give ;

$\frac{110}{2}\times 2.6966 mol=148.31 mol$ of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Difference between---<br> soap and detergent

guapka [62]

Answer:

"Soaps are made from natural ingredients, such as plant oils (coconut, vegetable, palm, pine) or acids derived from animal fat. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives. While soap is limited in its applications, detergents can be formulated to include other ingredients for all sorts of cleaning purposes. Perhaps the most common and versatile of these ingredients are surfactants … surface active agents.

The main difference between soap and detergent is the ingredients. Soaps are made with biodegradable ingredients such as oils, lye and fats. ... Both clean clothes well, but detergents are more effective on stains and with brightening clothes. However, soap is kinder on the environment and skin. "

Hope this helps
