Chemistry
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is BI₃

Lewis acid refers to a compound that could accept a pair of electrons, while Lewis base refers to a compound that could donate a pair of electrons.

In the mentioned reaction,

In NH₃, nitrogen exhibits a lone pair of electrons and is functioning as a Lewis base. In BI₃, the boron is deficient for an electron pair, thus in order to complete its octet it functions as a Lewis acid.

"Calculate the number of millimoles in 500 mg of each of the following amino acids: alanine (MW = 89), leucine (131), tryptophan
Cloud [144]

Answer:

- Alanine =  5.61 mmoles

- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles

Explanation:

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g

- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 5.61mmoles

- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m →  2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 =  3.4 mmoles

Why are alkali metals so reactive?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

<em>Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in <u>part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies.</u> They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.</em>

Explanation:

A gas with 4.0 atmospheres of pressure has a temperature of 27°C.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

7.462

Explanation:

Well, every time that the tempurature is increased, the atmspheric pressure is increased by 0.574%. This would then mean that you would have 0.574  times

13. That would then equal 7.462. I hope this helps.
