Answer:

True

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is transported by the blood in the dissolved form. carbonic anhydrase is the enzyme which is a metalloenzyme having zinc at active site converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid which dissolves in the blood.

Thus,  

H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) ⇔ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃²⁻(aq)

The kidneys in the body help to control the acid base balance. The hydrogen ion secretion in the body leads to the generation and reabsorption of the bicarbonate ions to form carbon dioxide in order to nullify the effect of the acid generated and thus the pH of the blood is maintained.

Which equation represents a redox reaction?
labwork [276]

Answer:

D. 2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given set of chemical reactions, it is possible to infer that D. is a categorized as redox due to the following:

Since both chlorine and bromine remain as diatomic gases, their oxidation states in such a form is 0, but as anions with lithium cations they have a charge of - according to the following reaction and half-reactions:

2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Cl_2^0+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl ^-\\\\2Br^- \rightarrow  Br_2^0+2e^-

Unlike the other reactions whereas no change in the oxidation states is evidenced.

Which statement describes a step in the formation of an ionic bond?
BartSMP [9]
The correct answer is  a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion.  This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals.  Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.


Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces. 

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Complexes containing metals with d10 electron configurations are typically colorless because ________. Complexes containing meta
algol [13]

Answer:

there is no d electron that can be promoted via the absorption of visible light

Explanation:

One of the properties of transition elements is the possession of incompletely filled d orbitals. This property accounts for their unique colours.

The colours of transition metal compounds stem from d-d transition of electrons due to the presence of vacant d orbitals of appropriate energy to which electrons could be promoted.

For elements whose atoms have a d10 configuration, such vacant orbitals does not exist hence their compounds are not colored.

Sometimes, the colour of transition metal compounds stem from ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT) for instance in KMnO4.

Name the compounds( Please answer only if you know)
IRISSAK [1]

Answer

2-methyl-2-pentene

Explanation:

1. Identify the group that takes precedence in this case alkene hence this molecule is an alkene with a methyl group side chain.

2.Find the longest carbon chain where the functional group(alkene group in this case) has the lowest Carbon number

3.What are the side groups? One side group can be seen at carbon 2 this group is methyl

4. Naming, number separated by "," and number from letters by "-" so the compound should be

2-methyl-2-pentene
