Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.

Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.

How would you make a 2.00L of 0. 500M sodium chloride solution. (assume you have a fully equipped lab with water); sketch, calc

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Sodium chloride solution:

First you need to calculate the mass of salt needed (done in the explanation), which is 58.44g. Then it have to be weighted in an analytical balance in a weighting boat and then transferred into a 2L volumetric flask that is going to be filled until the mark with distilled water.

Sulfuric acid dilution:

First you need to calculate the volume needed (done in the explanation), it is 16.6 mL. Using a graduated pipette one measures this volume and transfer it into a 2L volumetric flask that is already half filled with distilled water, and then one fills it until its mark.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride solution:

Each liter of a 0.500M solution has half mol, so 2L of said solution has 1 mol of salt. Sodium chloride molar mass is 58.44g/mol, so in 2L of solution there is 58.44g of salt. That`s the mass that`s going to be weighted and transferred to a 2L volumetric flask.

Sulfuric acid dilution:

This is the equation for dilution of solutions:

$c_{1} v_{1} =c_{2} v_{2}$

Where "c1" stands for the initial concentration (stock solution concentration), "v1" for the initial volume (volume of stock solution used), "c2" for the desired concentration and "v2" for the desired volume.

When we are diluting from a stock solution we want to know how much do we have to pipette from the stock solution into our volumetric flask. We do so by isolating the "v1" term from the dilution equation:

$v_{1} =\frac{c_{2} v_{2} }{c_{1} }$

in this case that would be:

$v_{1} =\frac{0.100 x2.0 }{12.0 }=0.0166L=16.6mL$

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.

Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is $O_2$

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of $O_2$ = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $O_2$ react with 1 mole of $CH_4$

So, 5 moles of $O_2$ react with $\frac{5}{2}=2.5$ moles of $CH_4$

From this we conclude that, $CH_4$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $O_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is $O_2$

What is the function of a lyase enzyme?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water

Explanation:

A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.
