Chemistry

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

    Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

What’s the molar mass of Lead-208
Degger [83]
Lead is a basic metal and almost 11 isotopes of Lead are reported. The isotopes with greater natural abundance are as follow;

1) ²⁰⁸Pb with abundance 52.4 %

2) ²⁰⁶Pb with abundance 24.1 %

3) ²⁰⁷Pb with abundance 22.1 %

4) ²⁰⁴Pb with abundance 1.4 %

Molar mass of ²⁰⁸Pb:

Molar mass of any element is the total of number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
As, number of protons in Lead are 82 then in ²⁰⁸Pb isotope number of neutrons are...

# of Neutrons  =  M.mass - # of protons

# of Neutrons  =  208 - 82

# of Neutrons  =  126

Result:

Molecular Mass of Lead (²⁰⁸Pb) is 208 amu.

# of Protons in ²⁰⁸Pb  = 82

# of Neutrons in ²⁰⁸Pb = 126

The enzyme Y catalyzes the elementary reaction
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

0.7μM = 0.6 μM = 0.5 μM > 0.4 μM > 0.3 μM > 0.2 μM

Explanation:

An enzyme solution is saturated when all the active sites of the enzyme molecule are full.  When an enzyme solution is saturated, the reaction is occurring at the maximum rate.

From the given information, an enzyme concentration of 1.0 μM Y can convert a maximum of 0.5 μM AB to the products A and B per second means that a 1.0 M Y solution is saturated when an AB concentration of 0.5 M or greater is present.

The addition of more substrate to a solution that contains the enzyme required  for its catalysis will generally increase the rate of the reaction. However, if the enzyme is saturated with substrate, the addition of more substrate will have no effect on the rate of reaction.

<em>Therefore the reaction rates at substrate concentrations of 0.7μM, 0.6 μM, and 0.5 μM are equal. But the reaction rate at substrate concentrations of  0.2 μM is lower than at 0.3 μM, 0.3 μM is lower than 0.4 μM and 0.4 μM is lower than 0.5 μM, 0.6 μM and 0.7 μM.</em>
