Answer: Water H2O

Explanation:

In cellular respiration process NAD+ is a most versatile electron acceptor and functions in several of the redox steps during break down of glucose.

Each NADH molecules formed during respiration represents stored energy that can be tapped to make ATP when the electrons complete their ''fall''down an energy gradient from NADH to oxygen.

Electrons removed from glucose are shuttle by NADH to the ''top'', higher-energy end of the electron transport chain. At the ''bottom'' lower energy end, O2 captures these electrons along with H+ forming water.

Therefore Hydrogen removed from NADH in the ETC is captured by O2 to form water

2H + 1/2O2 ------> H20

Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?

iVinArrow [24]

The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24

What is the relationship between melting/boiling point and intermolecular forces

sattari [20]

Boiling points are a measure of intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces increase with increasing polarization of bonds. Boiling point increases with molecular weight, and with surface area.

A solution may contain Ag+, Pb2+, and/or Hg22+. A white precipitate forms when 6 M HCl is added. The precipitate is partially so

omeli [17]

Answer:

All three are present

Explanation:

Addition of 6 M HCl would form precipitates of all the three cations, since the chlorides of these cations are insoluble: $AgCl (s), PbCl_2 (s), Hg_2Cl_2 (s)$ .

Firstly, the solid produced is partially soluble in hot water. Remember that out of all the three solids, lead(II) choride is the most soluble. It would easily completely dissolve in hot water. This is how we separate it from the remaining precipitate. Therefore, we know that we have lead(II) cations present, as the two remaining chlorides are insoluble even at high temperatures.
Secondly, addition of liquid ammonia would form a precipitate with silver: $AgCl (s) + 2 NH_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)\rightarrow [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s) + HCl (aq)$ ; Silver hydroxide at higher temperatures decomposes into black silver oxide: $2 [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s)\rightarrow Ag_2O (s) + H_2O (l) + 4 NH_3 (g)$ .
Thirdly, we also know we have $Hg_2^{2+}$ in the mixture, since addition of potassium chromate produces a yellow precipitate: $Hg_2^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Hg_2CrO_4 (s)$ . The latter precipitate is yellow.
