The psychoactive drug sold as a methamphetamine - "speed" (c10h15n) - undergoes a series of reactions in the body; the net resul

t of these reactions is the oxidation of solid methamphetamine by oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and nitrogen gas. what is the coefficient of nitrogen in the balanced equation for the reaction? (balance the equation with the smallest possible whole number coefficients.)

Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

What is the molarity of 2 mol of ki dissolved in 1 l water?
LiRa [457]

Hey There!:


number of moles = 2 moles KI


Volume = 1 L


Therefore:


M = n /V


M = 2 / 1


M = 2.0 mol/L


hope this helps!

Four substances are tested for different properties. The results of the tests are in the table below.
ella [17]

Answer:

Element Y,  or the third option

Explanation:

Alkanes are insoluble in water, but soluble in ether.  Their boiling points are pretty low, barely reaching 200 degrees, so element Y is an alkane.

What structural feature of lecithin allows it to behave like an emulsifying agent?
stepladder [879]
Lecithin is an emulsifier agent that's composed of 5 smaller molecules: phosphoric acid, choline, glycerol( is the backbone), and two fatty acids. 

The fatty acids, which are hydrophobic (afraid of water), makes this substance more similiar to fats and represent the non-polar part of the lecithin.
The phosphate group is the polar portion of the molecule and it's the negatively charged. The choline is positively charged, which readily dissolve in water<span>.

</span><span>Lecithin is a good emulsifier because of these structural features. the hydrophobic contacts with the oil, while the hydrophilic end contacts with the water.</span>

What would be your reaction to a claim that a new element had been discovered, and it fit between tin (Sn) and antimony (Sb) in
Anton [14]

Answer:

As explained

Explanation:

My reaction will be positive and I will feel elated that a new elements has been discovered as this will be a modification of the earlier claim by berzelius and the likes that there are over 106 known elements ; Metal, Non Metals and Metalloids.

However, fitting the new discovered element in between Tin and antimony may be an issue, as the physical properties of the new elements has to be known, its melting point, metals or non metals as this is paramount to be able to classify the elements. if the elements fits in between tin and antimony, it is an indication that the elements is mot likely a metal or non-mental and may belong to group IVB or VB. Another issue is, the discoverer will have to create his own periodic table to be able to stand in with the discovery of Dimitriy Mendelev.
