Why do chemists use the Lewis symbols to represent chlorine and sodium rather than drawing the electron diagrams of each element

before and after the reaction? A) Lewis symbols are easier to use. B) Lewis symbols are more scientific. C) Lewis symbols are more accurate. D) Lewis symbols are more abstract.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer is A, when you drawing the electron diagrams for each element you should draw all the electron for given element.

In the example of sodium and chlorine:

Sodium : 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 3p5

All the electron on the 1 and 2 levels will not be used to this representation because they will not leave the valence band. Only the electrons in the 3 level will interact in this example.

Remember that the sodium will lose an electron and become an cation. This happens because all the element will look for a stable form with the last band having 8 electron.

The chlorine will receive an electron, so the last band will have 8 electron.

Most protein enzymes catalyze only one specific chemical reaction effectively. What feature of protein structure is most directl
babunello [35]

Answer;

d. the specific geometry and types of amino acids in the active site

Explanation;

-Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction. The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site.

-For a substrate to bind to the active site of an enzyme it must fit in the active site and be chemically attracted to it. The shape of an enzyme determines how it works. Enzymes have active sites that substrate molecules (the substances involved in the chemical reaction) fit into when a reaction happens.

What is the number of the lowest energy level that contains an f sublevel?
forsale [732]

Answer: n = 4.


Explanation:


1) The main energy level is represented by the principal (main) quantum number, n. It can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, or 7. It is the period number in the periodic table.


2) The next quantum number is the Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ), also known as angular quantum number. It indicates the subshell (sublevel) or type of orbital.


This quantun number may be:


s, p, d, or f.


3) For n = 1, there is only one ℓ number: 0; which is the orbital s


For n = 2, there are two possible ℓ numbers: 0 and 1; which are the orbitals s and p.


For n = 3, there are three possible ℓ numbers: 0, 1, and 2, which are the orbitals s, p, and d:


For n = 4, there are four possible ℓ numbers:0, 1, 2, and 3; which are the orbitals s, p, d, and f.


So, the f sublevel appears first time when n = 4, i.e the number of the lowest energy level that contains an f sublevel is 4.

Assume the weight of an average adult is 70. kg, and that 420. kJ of heat are evolved per mole of oxygen consumed as a result of
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The temperature difference of the body after 3 hours = 5.16 K

Explanation:

we know that the number of moles of O₂ inhaled are 0.02 mole/min⁻¹

                                   or, 1.2 mole.h⁻¹

The average heat evolved by the oxidation of foodstuffs is then:

⇒          Q avg =\frac{1.2 X 420 X 10^{3} }{70} = 7.2 kj.h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹

the heat produced after 3 h would be:

                 =    7.2 kj. h⁻¹.Kg⁻¹ x 3 h

                 = 21.6 kj. kg⁻¹

                 = 21.6 x 10³ j kg⁻¹

We know Qp = Cp x ΔT

Assume the heat capacity of the body is 4.18 J g⁻¹K⁻¹

⇒ ΔT = \frac{Qp}{Cp}

⇒ ΔT = \frac{(21.6 X 10^{3} j.kg^{-1} ) }{(4.18 j k^{-1}g^{-1})   X (1000g.kg^{-1} )}

⇒ ΔT = 5.16 K

Omg pls help i dunno what the frick frack this is
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1. Mass of KCl produced = 774.8 g of KCl

2. Mass of KNO₃ produced = 13.837g

3. Moles of NaOH made = 0.846 moles

4. Moles of LiCl produced = 0.846 moles

5. Moles of CO₂ produced = 207.6 moles

Explanation:

1. From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of ZnCl₂ produces, 2 moles of KCl.

5.02 moles of ZnCl₂ will produce, 2 × 5.02 moles of KCl = 10.4 moles of KCl

Molar mass of KCl = (39 + 35.5) g/mol = 74.5 g/mol

10.4 moles of KCl = 10.4 × 74.5 g

Mass of KCl produced = 774.8 g of KCl

2. Mole ratio of KNO₃ and KOH = 1:1

O.137 moles of KOH will produce 0.137 moles of KNO₃

Molar mass of KNO₃ = 101 g/mol

Mass of KNO₃ produced = 0.137 × 101 g = 13.837g

3. Molar mas of Ca(OH)₂ = 74.0 g

Moles of Ca(OH)₂ in 31.3 g = 31.3/74.0 = 0.423 moles of Ca(OH)₂

Mole ratio of NaOH and Ca(OH)₂ in the reaction = 2 : 1

Moles of NaOH made = 2 × 0.423 = 0.846 moles

4. Molar mass of MgCl₂ = 95.0 g

Moles of MgCl₂ in 40.2 g = 40.2/95.0 = 0.423 moles

From the reaction equation, mole ratio of MgCl₂ and LiCl = 1:2

Moles of LiCl produced = 2 × 0.423 = 0.846 moles

5. From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of C₆H₁₀O₅ produces 6 moles of cO₂

34.6 moles of C₆H₁₀O₅ will produce 34.6 × 6 moles of CO₂

Moles of CO₂ produced = 207.6 moles
