Remember this, when trying to find a valid lewis structure, every single atom must have a total of 8 shared electrons (full octet). Since I only have 4 hydrogens to work with, two on each carbon, I assumed a double bond in the middle. This way, every atom has a full octet, except for hydrogen which is most stable with just two electrons. If there were just a single bond in between the carbons, each carbon would only have a total of 6 shared electrons which violates the octet rule. So a double bond is a must. This is ethylene by the way.

poizon [28]

Answer:

<h2>Actin and myosin.</h2>

Explanation:

The cells that allow your bones to move, the movement of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments during contraction .

During a contraction thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap of each other.

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments extending more deeply into the A band.

The I bands and H bands decrease in lenght as Z discs are come closer together .

Sarcomere represents area between two Z disc, so the sarcomere gets smaller during a contraction .

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

Step 3: Find

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

Step 4: Convert

$745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} )$ = 3.71544 mol Hg

Step 5: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg

Water is produced from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gas, according to the equation below. What is the excess reactant in

liq [111]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen gas = 1 : 2.

If we use 3.0 moles of oxygen gas, we would need 3.0 * 2 = 6.0 mol of hydrogen gas.

However we only have 4.2 mol of hydrogen. Therefore hydrogen is limiting and oxygen is in excess. (B)

Triss [41]

B directly; inversely

Pressure and volume have an inverse relationship (when one increases the other increases) while volume and temperature are direct (if one increases so does the other)

Note: these relationships are only true if other factors are constant such as the temperature, and amount (in moles).
