Select the statement that is incorrect.

Chemistry
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The 3rd sentence is the wrong one:

'All carbohydrates have the general formula Cn(H2O)n'

Explanation:

This is wrong because it's a formula that holds true for simple sugars, but not for complex ones.

Take sucrose as an example, its formula is C12H22O11. Clearly it's C12(H2O)11.

This is so, because when a glycosidic bond is formed, it does so with the loss of a water molecule; hence the reaction is called condensation.

Explain how the scientific method helps scientists.
Lapatulllka [165]

As scientists work hard for the results, they may get biased and may sometimes come up with an answer that is based on that. In order to avoid such circumstances, scientific method is put into practice.

Explanation:

  • Personal preferences can some times affect a scientific answer. That is not desirable as the experiments will be repeated by different individuals and the same results should be obtained.
  • That leads to the importance of documentation of systemic observation, formation of hypothesis and the experimentation to confirm the results, which is the scientific way of coming up with the answer to a scientific problem.
  • Scientific methods thus helps in bringing more credibility to findings of the scientists and can be repeated by others to obtain the same results.

Describe the relationship between the number of valence electrons and the chemical properties of atoms. ?!??!??
AURORKA [14]

The valence electrons are determined by the column that the element falls in.  

Column 1 has 1 valence electron  

Column 2 has 2 valence electrons  

Column 13 has 3 valence electrons  

Column 15 has 5 valence electrons  

column 16 has 6 valence electrons  

column 17 has 7 valence electrons  

Elements are trying to become stable by filling the outer energy level. Columns 1,2,3 do this by losing 1,2 or 3 electrons and becoming positive ions. +1, +2, +3, respectively  

Columns 15, 16, 17 do this by taking those electrons and becoming negative ions. -3, -2, -3. respectively.

Write the rate law for the reaction 2A + B → C if the reaction
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1.   R=k[A]^1[B]^2

2.  R=k[B]^1

3.  R=k[A]^0[B]^0=k

4.  R=k[A]^1[B]^{-1}

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

(1) is second order in B and overall third order.

2A + B → C

Order of the reaction = sum of stoichiometric coefficient

= x + 2 = 3

x = 1

Rate of the reaction =R

R=k[A]^1[B]^2

(2) is zero order in A and first order in B.

2A + B → C

Rate of the reaction =R

R=k[A]^0[B]^1=k[B]^1

Order of the reaction = sum of stoichiometric coefficient

= 0 + 1 = 1

(3) is zero order in both A and B .

2A + B → C

Order of the reaction = sum of stoichiometric coefficient

= 0 + 0 = 0

Rate of the reaction =R

R=k[A]^0[B]^0=k

(4) is first order in A and overall zero order.

2A + B → C

Order of the reaction = sum of stoichiometric coefficient

= 1 + x = 0

x = -1

Rate of the reaction = R

R=k[A]^1[B]^{-1}
