Calcium atoms have two electrons in the outermost shell. As a result, you would expect calcium to form ions with a charge of

What is the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 in the equation Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O when balanced using the smallest possible coe

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.1 x 106 M. HONO(aq) + CN-(aq) ⇋ HCN(aq) + ONO-(aq) This value indicates that

kakasveta [241]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is given here :

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is $1.1\times 10^6$ M.

$HONO(aq)+CN^- (aq)\rightleftharpoons HCN(aq)+ONO^-(aq)$

This value indicates that

A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

B. HCN is a stronger acid than HONO

C. The conjugate base of HONO is $ONO^-$

D. The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN

Answer: A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of product of the concentration of products to the product of concentration of reactants.

When $K_{p}>1$ ; the reaction is product favoured.

When $K_{p};$ ; the reaction is reactant favored.

$When K_{p}=1$ ; the reaction is in equilibrium.

As, $K_p>>1$ , the reaction will be product favoured and as it is a acid base reaction where $HONO$ acts as acid by donating $H^+$ ions and $CN^-$ acts as base by accepting $H^+$

Thus $HONO$ is a strong acid thus $ONO^-$ will be a weak conjugate base and $CN^-$ is a strong base which has weak $HCN$ conjugate acid.

Thus the high value of K indicates that $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

Gas laws describe and predict the behavior of gases without attempting to explain why they happen

Nutka1998 [239]

The gas laws describe and predict the behavior of gases with an explanation and experimental data

So the given statement is False.

2) The volume of gas can be calculated based on Avagadro's law

It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional or varies with the moles of the gas. Higher the moles more the volume, condition is the pressure and temperature are constants in the two conditions

Thus as here the pressure and temperature of nitrogen gas is kept constant

V α moles

or

$\frac{V1}{n1}=\frac{V2}{n2}$

Where

V1 = 6 l

n1 = 0.50 mol

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.75 mol

On putting values

V2 = 6 X 0.75 / 0.5 = 9 L

so resulting volume of the gas will be 9L
