vovangra [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.

According to the text, which amino acid(s) contains a side chain..
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(b) that is hydrophobic

Explanation:

e.g, alanine

Cause, Alanine possess hydrophobic side chain and the most appropriate answer is (d) part......

Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid, because the side-chain connected to the α-carbon atom is a methyl group (-CH3), alanine is the simplest α-amino acid after glycine. The methyl side-chain of alanine is non-reactive and is therefore hardly ever directly involved in protein function..

Hope it will help you☺☺☺☺☺

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Are transferred completely from the valence shell of an element to the other

Explanation:

Basically, to form a chemical bond, you either transfer or you share. When you share, it is a case of covalent bonding which can be in several other forms. When there is a transfer, it is a case of ionic bonding.

The basic explanation for this is that while some atoms are electronically sufficient, some are electronically deficient. This means while some atoms are having an excess number of electrons, then some are having less number of electrons.

To satisfy both parties, there must be a transfer if electrons between the two parties. While the one with the excess numbers serves as the donor, the one with insufficient number of electrons serve as the acceptor

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}

Most solids
Daniel [21]
Most solids a) are dense and difficult to compress.

Most solids are closely compacted, their molecules are close together and vibrate. They don't move freely like gas or water molecules do.
They are difficult to be squeezed or flattened.
