Answer:

B) an anion

Explanation:

During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.

The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.  

An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom.  The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.

Na+  +  Cl-   → NaCl

In acidic solution, the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose has this rate law: rate = k[H+][sucrose].
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

b)If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

c)If concentration of  [H^+] is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

d) If concentration when [sucrose] and[H^+] both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

Explanation:

Sucrose +  H^+\rightarrow  fructose+ glucose

The rate law of the reaction is given as:

R=k[H^+][sucrose]

[H^+]=0.01M

[sucrose]= 1.0 M

R=k[0.01M][1.0 M]..[1]

a)

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M = R'

R'=[0.01 M][2.5 M]..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][2.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}

R'=2.5\times R

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 2.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 2.5.

b)

The rate of the reaction when [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M = R'

R'=[0.01 M][0.5 M]..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.01 M][0.5 M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}

R'=2.5\times R

If concentration of [Sucrose] is changed to 0.5 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.5.

c)

The rate of the reaction when [H^+] is changed to 0.001 M = R'

R'=[0.0001 M][1.0 M]..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.0001 M][1.0M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}

R'=0.01\times R

If concentration of  [H^+] is changed to 0.0001 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 0.01.

d)

The rate of the reaction when [sucrose] and[H^+] both are changed to 0.1 M = R'

R'=[0.1M][0.1M]..[2]

[2] ÷ [1]

\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{[0.1M][0.1M]}{k[0.01M][1.0 M]}

R'=1\times R

If concentration when [sucrose] and[H^+] both are changed to 0.1 M than rate will be increased by the factor of 1.

When a solute is added to a solution why does it remain homogeneous?
Olenka [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 When a solute is added to a solution, it remains homogeneous because the solute is soluble in given solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         Homogeneous mixtures, also called true solutions are those mixtures in which the components proportions are same throughout in any given sample. For example, the mixture of table salt (NaCl) and water. When the solution is unsaturated and further NaCl is added to it, it will dissolve the NaCl because the saturation point is still not reached. Remember, as "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>" NaCl being polar in nature will interact with water molecules and will dissociate into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions surrounded by δ- O and δ+ H atoms of water molecules.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                  In order to form a Homogeneous mixture the solution must be unsaturated, solvent must have affinity for incoming solute particles and the size of solute should be equal to 1 Â (Angstrom).

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

the effect of oxygen on these types of microbes is it will kill them.

Explanation:

When oxygen present in the environment come in contact with anaerobe bacteria it kill them because oxygen in air act as excited oxygen singlet molecule which will react with the water present in the cell of bacteria and convert it into hydrogen peroxides and bacteria do not have any defense system from hydrogen peroxide and ultimately it kill the bacteria.
