Answer:

(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.

However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.

5 H2O2(aq) + 2 MnO4-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) → 2 Mn2+(aq) + 8 H2O(l) + 5 O2(g) In a titration experiment, H2O2(aq) reacts with aqueous Mn

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons. The specie which is oxidized has has elevation in its oxidation state as compared in the reactant and the products.

The given reaction is shown below as:

$5 H_2O_2_{(aq)} + 2 MnO_4^-_{(aq)} + 6 H^+_{(aq)}\rightarrow 2 Mn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 8 H_2O_{(l)} + 5 O_2_{(g)}$

Manganese in $MnO_4^-$ has oxidation state of +7

Manganese in $Mn^{2+}$ has an oxidation state of +2

It reduces from +7 to +2

Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide has an oxidation state of -1.

Oxygen in molecular oxygen has an oxidation of 0.

Thus, oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.

Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when ethane burns in air

damaskus [11]

<h3>Balanced equation : 2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains

General formula for alkanes :

$\tt \large{\bold{C_nH_{2n+2}}$

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

$\large {\box {\bold{C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \dfrac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}$

So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):

$\tt C_2H_6+\dfrac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)

or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction

C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)

C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2

H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3

O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2

Decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains on a particular type of phospholipid would result in the formation of _____.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is "more fluid bilayers".

Explanation:

A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipidic nature formed by a long hydrocarbon chain of different lengths at the end of which there is a carboxyl group.

The wall of the gallbladder consists of three main layers of tissue: The mucosa covers the wall of the gallbladder. The muscular layer of smooth muscle. The serosa, which is the outer layer.

By decreasing the saturation of the fatty acid chains in phospholipids, the bile layers would reduce their thickness and become more fluid.

Have a nice day!
