Explanation:

Beryllium is a group 2 element and its atomic number is 4. Electronic configuration of beryllium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}$ .

Since, a beryllium contains two valence electrons so, in order to attain stability it will readily lose its 2 valence electrons.

Therefore, a beryllium atom upon losing two valence electrons will acquire a +2 charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the net ion charge of Beryllium is +2.

Animals breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration according to the equation below. How much oxygen i

kifflom [539]

Answer:

14.544 g of oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Animals take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. The reaction for the metabolism of the food in the animal body is:

$C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy$

As can be seen from the reaction stoichiometry that:

6 moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

Also,

Given :

Mass of carbon dioxide gas = 120 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus, moles of carbon dioxide are:

$moles_{CO_2} = \frac{120 g}{44 g/mol}$

$moles_{CO_2} = 2.7273 mol$

As mentioned:

6 moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from 1/6 mole of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

2.7273 mole of carbon dioxide gas can be produced from $\frac{1}{6} \times 2.7273$ moles of oxygen gas in the process of metabolism of glucose.

Thus, moles of oxygen gas needed = 0.4545 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

The mass of oxygen gas can be find out by using mole formula as:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = Moles \times Molar mass}$

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = 0.4545 \times 32}$

$Mass\ of\ oxygen\ gas = 14.544 g$

14.544 g of oxygen is needed to produce 120 grams of carbon dioxide.

Which of the following bases are strong enough to deprotonate CH3CH2CH2C≡CH (pKa = 25), so that equilibrium favors the products?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a, and f.

Explanation:

To be deprotonated, the conjugate acid of the base must be weaker than the acid that will react, because the reactions favor the formation of the weakest acid. The pKa value measures the strength of the acid. As higher is the pKa value, as weak is the acid. So, let's identify the conjugate acid and their pKas:

a. NaNH2 will dissociate, and NH2 will gain the proton and forms NH3 as conjugate acid. pKa = 38.0, so it happens.

b. NaOH will dissociate, and OH will gain the proton and forms H2O as conjugate acid. pKa = 14.0, so it doesn't happen.

c. NaC≡N will dissociate, and CN will gain a proton and forms HCN as conjugate acid. pKa = 9.40, so it doesn't happen.

d. NaCH2(CO)N(CH3)2 will dissociate and forms CH3(CO)N(CH3)2 as conjugate acid. pKa = -0.19, so it doesn't happen.

e. H2O must gain one proton and forms H3O+. pKa = -1.7, so it doesn't happen.

f. CH3CH2Li will dissociate, and the acid will be CH3CH3. pKa = 50, so it happens.

Someone please answer this...

kupik [55]

Answer:

5446.8 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Initial temperature (T₁) = 70 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 192.4 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.89 J/gºC

Heat (Q) required =?

Next, we shall determine the change in the temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 70 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 192.4 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 192.4 – 70

ΔT = 122.4 °C

Finally, we shall determine the heat required to heat up the block of aluminum as follow:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.89 J/gºC

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 122.4 °C

Heat (Q) required =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 0.89 × 122.4

Q = 5446.8 J

Thus, the heat required to heat up the block of aluminum is 5446.8 J
