Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

A phosphate buffer solution (25.00 mL sample) used for a growth medium was titrated with 0.1000 M hydrochloric acid. The compone

AysviL [449]

Answer:

0,07448M of phosphate buffer

Explanation:

sodium monohydrogenphosphate (Na₂HP) and sodium dihydrogenphosphate (NaH₂P) react with HCl thus:

Na₂HP + HCl ⇄ NaH₂P + NaCl <em>(1)</em>

NaH₂P + HCl ⇄ H₃P + NaCl <em>(2)</em>

The first endpoint is due the reaction (1), When all phosphate buffer is as NaH₂P form, begins the second reaction. That means that the second endpoint is due the total concentration of phosphate that is obtained thus:

0,01862L of HCl× $\frac{0,1000mol}{L}$ = 1,862x10⁻³moles of HCl ≡ moles of phosphate buffer.

The concentration is:

$\frac{1,862x10^{-3}moles}{0,02500L}$ = <em>0,07448M of phosphate buffer</em>

I hope it helps!

which bonds maintain the primary structure of a protein? question 7 options: ionic bonds hydrogen bonds peptide bonds disulfide

Mariulka [41]

Proteins have four structures primary, secondary,m tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure of the protein has been known to have peptide bonds. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What are peptide bonds?</h3>

Peptide bonds are the chemical bonds that are involved in protein polymer formation by linking the amino acid chains. They are also called amide bonds that are present between the nitrogen and the carbonyl atom.

The primary structure of the proteins includes the amino linked by the peptide bonds that make them look like linear structures. The secondary structures have hydrogen bonds and the tertiary have ionic and hydrophilic hydrogen bonds.

Therefore, option C. the primary structure of the protein contains peptide bonds.

If the density of water is 1.00 g/mL and the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL, how high a column of water in meters can be suppor

dexar [7]

Answer:

The answer to this is

The column of water in meters that can be supported by standard atmospheric pressure is 10.336 meters

Explanation:

To solve this we first list out the variables thus

Density of the water = 1.00 g/mL =1000 kg/m³

density of mercury = 13.6 g/mL = 13600 kg/m³

Standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg or 101.325 kilopascals

Therefore from the equation for denstity we have

Density = mass/volume

Pressure = Force/Area and for a column of water, pressure = Density × gravity×height

Therefore where standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg we have for Standard tmospheric pressure= 13600 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² × 0.76 m = 101396.16 Pa

This value of pressure should be supported by the column of water as follows

Pressure = 101396.16 Pa = kg/m³×9.81 m/s² ×h

∴ $h = \frac{101396.16}{(1000)(9.81)}$ = 10.336 meters

The column of water in meters that can be supported by standard atmospheric pressure is 10.336 meters
