Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

Using a value of Ksp = 1.8 x 10-2 for the reaction PbCl2 Pb+2(aq) + 2Cl -(aq). If the value of Ksp was determined to be only 1.2
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

Explanation:

On the basis of the chemical equation:  

PbCl₂ (s) ⇒ Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

It is mentioned that the value of Ksp is 1.8 × 10⁻²

As the solubility product is very less or negligible for this reaction that signifies that the ions produced are getting combined, resulting in the reduction of the concentration of the ions and enhancing the formation of the solid lead chloride. Therefore, they associate together to produce solid lead chloride.

Answer:

Exam 3 Material

Homework Page Without Visible Answers

This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.

Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.

These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.

2. Which of the following elements does not lose an electron easily? (a) Na (6) F (c) Mg (d) Al​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

Properties of matter with three example each
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Extensive properties vary with the amount of the substance and include mass, weight, and volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature.
