Which represents the self ionization of water at 25 degrees

1 answer:

7 0

This question comes with four answer choices:

A. H2O + H2O ⇄ 2H2 + O2

B. H2O + H2O⇄ H2O2 + H2

C. H2O + H2O ⇄ 4H+ + 2O2-

D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

Answer: option D. H2O + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + OH-

(the +sign next to H3O is a superscript, as well as the - sing next to OH)

Explanation:

The self-ionization of water, or autodissociation, produces the two ions H3O(+) and OH(-). The presence of ions is what explain the electrical conductivity of pure water.

In this, one molecule of H2O loses a proton (H+) (deprotonates) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. Then, he hydrogen ion, H+, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

Sati [7]

Answer: If you change the number of electrons in an atom it will become an ion

Explanation: When you change the number of protons in an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element. Sometimes, when you add a proton to an element, the element will become radioactive. If you change the number of electrons in an atom, you will get an ion of the element.

The kinetic molecular theory (KMT) deals specifically with

fgiga [73]

This kind of questions cannot be open because there might be many different answers depending of the focus.

In fact, I found the set of options that comes with this questions. This is:

A. behavior of ions.
B. molecular bonding.
C. molecular shape.
D. molecular motion.

Of course, the answer is the option D. molecular motion.

And, of course, you need an explanation.

It is good to know that the word kinetic refers to motion, so definetly kinetic molecular theory is a theory about the motion of the molecules.

With that you likely had been able to answer the question. But it is good to know what the molecular theory is.

The molecular kinetic molecular theory explains the properties and behavior of the gases in terms of the motion of its particles (molecules) making several assumptions about the energy, size and motion of such particles.

The human body can get energy by metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates or fatty acids, depending on the circumstances. Roughly sp

Kamila [148]

Answer:

the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose is 1.0111

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

To determine the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose, first we get the molar masses of both alanine and glucose

we know that;

Molar mass of alanine ( C₃H₇NO₂ ) = 89.09 g/mol

Molar mass of glucose ( C₆H₁₂O₆ ) = 180.16 g/mol

now, { metabolizing each gram }

moles of alanine = mass taken / molar mass

= 1g / 89.09 g/mol = 1/89.09 moles

moles of glucose = mass taken / molar mass

= 1g / 180.16 g/mol = 1/180.16 moles

In each molecule of alanine, we have 3 atoms of carbon.

Also, in each molecules of glucose, we have 6 atoms of carbon

so,

number of moles of Carbons in alanine = 3 × 1/89.09 moles = 0.03367

number of moles of Carbons in glucose = 6 × 1/180.16 moles = 0.0333

so ratio of energy will be the ratio of carbon atoms, which is;

⇒ 0.03367 / 0.0333 = 1.0111

Therefore, the ratio of the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of alanine to the energy the body gets metabolizing each gram of glucose is 1.0111
