An atom X has three electrons in its outermost shell. Which ion will most likely be formed by X?

Chemistry

DedPeter [7]3 years ago

Answer: X3+

Explanation:

Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).

In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).

X --> X3+ + 3e-

Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.

A gas mixture at 535.0°C and 109 kPa absolute enters a heat exchanger at a rate of 67.0 m3/hr. The gas leaves the heat exchanger
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the heat rate required to cool down the gas from 535°C until 215°C is -2.5 kW.

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour:

PV=nRT

therefore

P= 109 Kpa= 1.07575 atm

V= 67 m3/hr = 18.6111 L/s

T= 215 °C = 488 K

R = 0.082 atm L /mol K

n = PV/RT = 109 Kpa = 1.07575 atm * 18.611 L/s /(0.082 atm L/mol K * 488 K)

n= 0.5 mol/s

since the changes in kinetic and potencial energy are negligible, the heat required is equal to the enthalpy change of the gas:

Q= n* Δh = 0.5 mol/s * (- 5 kJ/mol) =2.5 kW

Plants get energy from the​
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Plants need energy from the sun, water from the soil, and carbon from the air to grow. Air is mostly made of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. So how do plants get the carbon they need to grow? They absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Error or mistakes during DNA replication is accountable for two-thirds or 66% of the cancer cases. These random and unpredictable errors called mutations that occur during the division of a cell as an error in copying of DNA.

DNA replication has three main steps:

Opening and separation of DNA strands of a helix - carried by an enzyme known as helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases of the helix of DNA.

The priming of the template strand - DNA primase helps RNA primers to bind to both strands at 3' end as soon as it separated

strat assembling the segments of new DNA on strands called elongation of the strands with help DNA polymerase I and after forming new strands the termination of the replication.

Errors or mistakes can occasionally take place if DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base during elongation of the strands.

How many isomeric esters including structural isomers and stereoisomers can be made with the molecular formula C5H10O2 if methan
defon
Methanoic acid has a molecular formula of HCOOH, when form an ester it's HCOO-, so the rest of the ester is -C4H9, a saturated 4 carbon chain.  As shown in the attached diagram, there are 4 structural isomers, and the third isomer has 2 stereoisomers. So the answers is D:5.
