whg doe sthe transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen cause the ions produced to attract eachother

1 answer:

8 0

Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell.

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.

Which statement below correctly describes the relationship between Q and K for both reactions? Are these reactions spontaneous a

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Q < K for both reactions. Both are spontaneous at those concentrations of substrate and product.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reactions with their proper Gibbs free energy of reaction are:

$A->B;\Delta _rG^o=-13 kJ/mol$

$C ->D ;\Delta _rG^o=3.5 kJ/mol$

The cellular concentrations are as follows: [A] = 0.050 mM, [B] = 4.0 mM, [C] = 0.060 mM and [D] = 0.010 mM.

For each case, the reaction quotient is:

$Q_1=\frac{4.0mM}{0.050mM}=80\\ Q_2=\frac{0.010mM}{0.060mM}=0.167$

A typical temperature at a cell is about 30°C, in such a way, the equilibrium constants are:

$K_1=exp(-\frac{-13000J/mol}{8.314J/mol*K*303.15K} )=173.8\\K_2=exp(-\frac{3500J/mol}{8.314J/mol*K*303.15K} )=0.249$

Therefore, Q < K for both reactions. Both are spontaneous at those concentrations of substrate and product.

Best regards.

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

A metal (M) forms an oxide with the formula MO. If the oxide contains 7.17 % O by mass, what is the identity of the metal?

Nataly_w [17]

The metal is lead, Pb.

One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).

∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO

Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u

The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.
