The combination of decay processes that would convert U-239 into PU- 239 is beta decay followed by another beta decay. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron [positron]. There are two types of beta decay; positive and negative beta decays and both occur simultaneously in order to move the atoms towards stability.

In the peptide GLVIW, the C-terminal end is ________.
zheka24 [161]
The peptide given above is made up of the following amino acids: glycine [G], leucine [L], valine [V], isoleucine [I] and tryptophan [W]. These amino acids are joined together by amide bond to form peptide. Peptides usually have two terminals, the N terminal and the C terminal. For GLVIW, the C terminal end amino acid is tryptophan, that is the last amino acid on the peptide chain. The N terminal amino acid is glycine, that is, the first amino acid on the peptide chain.

What does the electron sea model for metals suggest? A. valence electrons drift freely around the metal anions B. valence electr
Ainat [17]

The electron sea model for metals suggest that the valence electrons drift freely around the metal cations.

Answer: B

Explanation

The sea model of electron is used for describing the mechanism of metallic bonding.

The metallic bonding generally occurs between 2 or more metals leading to the formation of alloys.

According to electron sea model, the electrons which contributes to the metallic bond are mostly the valence electrons of the atoms, these valence electrons get de-localized and can move freely around the nuclei of other atoms.

Overall, it seems like nuclei of positive charge is surrounded by sea of negative electrons.

natta225 [31]

An investigation is conducted into how the mass of magnesium metal reacting with hydrochloric acid affects the amount of hydrogen gas produced.

Masses of 0.10g, 0.20g, 0.30g and 0.40g of powdered Mg metal are reacted with hydrochloric acid(HCl). The conical flask containing the reaction mixture of Mg and HCl is connected to another conical flask with a hose. The hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is collected in this conical flask. The greater the amount of hydrogen gas produced by the reaction the greater the pressure of the gas in the flask.

Answer:

A) what is the independent variable:

B) what is the dependent variable:

C) write a hypothesis for this investigation:

D) give 2 variables that should have been controlled for this investigation:

Calculate the standard entropy of reaction at 298 K for the reaction Hg(liq) + Cl2(g) → HgCl2(s) The standard molar entropies of
never [62]

Answer:

−153.1 J / (K mol)

Explanation:

Calculate the standard entropy of reaction at 298 K for the reaction Hg(liq) + Cl2(g) → HgCl2(s) The standard molar entropies of the species at that temperature are: Sºm (Hg,liq) = 76.02 J / (K mol) ; Sºm (Cl2,g) = 223.07 J / (K mol) ; Sºm (HgCl2,s) = 146.0 J / (K mol)

Hg(liq) + Cl2(g) → HgCl2(s)

Given that;

The standard molar entropies of the species at that temperature are:

Sºm (Hg,liq) = 76.02 J / (K mol) ;

Sºm (Cl2,g) = 223.07 J / (K mol) ;

Sºm (HgCl2,s) = 146.0 J / (K mol)

The standard molar entropies of reaction = Sºm[products] - Sºm [ reactants]

= 146.0 J / (K mol) – [76.02 J / (K mol) +223.07 J / (K mol) ]

= -153.09 J / (K mol)

= or -153.1 J / (K mol)

Hence the answer is  −153.1 J / (K mol)
