Firstly, the chemical equation between the calcium metal and water will be:  

Ca(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)  

We can see from the equation the bubbles of hydrogen gas which are formed during the reaction stick to the surface of the metal and hence calcium floats on water.  

The other metal that will float on the water during the reaction is magnesium which have the same chemical behavior like calcium, we can illustrate that by the chemical equation:

Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

In contracting skeletal muscle, a sudden elevation of cytosolic Ca2 concentration will result in: Inactivation of phosphorylase
skad [1K]

Answer:

ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE AND ALLOSTERICALLY ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE B

Explanation:

In a contracting skeletal muscle, there is a rapid need of ATP by the muscle cell. The energy need is obtained by the degradation of glycogen into glucose which then enters glycolysis.  Muscle contraction causes muscle depolarization in which there is the rapid influx of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sacroplasm of the myocytes. This in turn causes the binding of calcium ion with calmodulin which thenb activates phosphorylase kinase from which it  allosterically activate the b form of the enzyme needed for the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other options do not occur as a result of increase in cytolic calcium concentration.

Which equation represents a redox reaction?
labwork [276]

Answer:

D. 2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given set of chemical reactions, it is possible to infer that D. is a categorized as redox due to the following:

Since both chlorine and bromine remain as diatomic gases, their oxidation states in such a form is 0, but as anions with lithium cations they have a charge of - according to the following reaction and half-reactions:

2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Cl_2^0+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl ^-\\\\2Br^- \rightarrow  Br_2^0+2e^-

Unlike the other reactions whereas no change in the oxidation states is evidenced.

What have six valence electrons
irina1246 [14]

Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
