Do oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds!0?

1 answer:

6 0

remember that all elements want to have no valence electrons, they want to be like the noble gases.
Oxygen has six valence electrons, which means that it needs to gain two to become stable.
it takes much more energy for oxygen to lose its 6 valence electrons than it would be to gain 2.
>>When atoms form compounds, they become stable

hope this helps

Why is it impossible to ever prove that a hypothesis is true?

maria [59]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Hypothesis have to be based on previous knowledge and have to be able to be tested but the problem is most hypothesis can’t be explained so it’s impossible to prove a hypothesis correct because science uses inductive reasoning

Fluorine-18 is a positron emitter used in pet scans. write a balanced nuclear equation for the reaction.

kow [346]

Due to limitations on typography, I will have to describe the equation instead of actually writing it. Crude appearance. 18 18 0 F --> O + e 9 8 1 Detailed description. Each of the 3 components have both a left superscript and a left subscript which is a superscript and a subscript to the LEFT of the main figure unlike the usual right side that you see subscripts and superscripts. The equation will be F with an 18 left superscript and a 9 left subscript to represent Florine with atomic weight of 18 and 9 protons. Followed by a right arrow to indicate the direction the reaction is going. Followed by the letter O with a left superscript of 18 and a left subscript of 8 to represent Oxygen with atomic weight of 18 and 8 protons. Followed by a plus sign to indicate more. Followed by either the lower case letter "e" or the upper case Greek character beta with a left superscript of 0 and a left subscript of 1 or +1 to represent the positron being emitted with a positive charge and an atomic weight of 0.

Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6‑phosphate to fructose 1,6‑bisphosphate in glycolysis. Fructose 1

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

d. increases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is formed by the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by phosphofructokinase-2, PFK-2.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate functions as an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate has opposite effects on the enzymes, PFK-1 and FBPase. When it binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme, PFK-1, it increases the enzymes's activity by increasing its affinity for its substrate fructose-6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for its allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate. However, when it binds to FBPase, it reduces its activity by reducing its affinity for glucose, its substrate

An average person expends about 845 kilojoules of energy per hour of walking. Suppose a person eats 2 baked potatoes with butter

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2hours}$

Explanation:

You will need to use the conversion between food calories, calories and joules.

$1\text { nutritional calorie }= 1,000cal\\ \\ 1cal=4.184joule$

From a nutritional table (from the internet) you can obtain the amount of nutritional calories for each type macronutrient: carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Macronutrient food calories

Carbohydrate 4 cal/g

Protein 4 cal/g

Fat 9 cal/g

To convert food calories to regular calories, mutiply by the conversion factor:

$1=1,000cal/\text{nutritional calorie}$

Macronutrient calories

Carbohydrate 4,000 cal/g

Protein 4,000 cal/g

Fat 9,000 cal/g

To convert regular calories to joules, multiply by the conversion factor:

$1=4.184 joule/1cal$

Macronutrient energy in joules

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g

Protein 16,736 joule/g

Fat 37,656 joule/g

Now you can multiply the grams of each macronutrient in one potato by its energy content:

Macronutrient energy/gram × grams = total energy

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g × 37 g = 619,232 joules

Protein 16,736 joule/g × 4.3 g = 71,968.8 joules

Fat 37,656 joule/g × 4 g = 150,624 joules

Total = 619,232 joules + 71,968.8 joules + 150,624 joules = 841,820.8 joules.

Since they are two potatoes, multiply by 2: × 841,820.8 joules = 1,683,641.6 joules.

Divide by 1,000 to convert to kilojoules = 1,683.64 kilojoules

Divide the total energy from the two potatoes by the energy that an average person expend per hour of walking (845 kilojoules of energy per hour):

$1,683.64kilojoules/845kilojouesl/hour=1.99hours\approx 2hours$
