Answer:

d. p3-

Explanation:

Phosphorus has fifteen electrons in its orbitals and five electrons in its outermost shell. An atom is said to have noble gas configuration when it has eight electron in its outermost shell.

In order to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, phosphorus must accept three electrons and form an ion of the sort P^3-. This ion now has eighteen electrons (argon configuration) and eight electrons in the outermost shell.

Answer:

D. P^3-

Explanation:

Phosphorus has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p³ that is, 15 electrons in its shells.

At noble gas configuration, Phosphorus obtains a stable octet state of [Ne] 3s² 3p^6 (Argon electronic configuration) is 18 electrons by accepting 3 electrons.

Phophorus in this state becomes P^3-

Electronic configuration

P = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

= [Ne] 3s2 3p3

P^3- = Ar = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

= [Ne] 3s23p6

Calculate the volume of a 1.25 M solution of HCN made from 31 grams of HCN
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

V HCNsln = 0.9176 L

Explanation:

V HCNsln = ?

∴ m HCN = 31 g

∴ <em>C</em> HCNsln = 1.25 mol/L

∴ molar mass HCN = 27.0253 g/mol

⇒ V HCNsln = (31 g)*(mol/27.0253 g)*(L/1.25 mol) = 0.9176 Lsln

Which of the following is/are true regarding initial and maximal velocity of enzyme-mediated reactions?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

a). A a very low substrate concentration , $S. Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km}$

Here since the $V_0$ varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option  (a) is true.

b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :

   $V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km+[S]}$

  Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as $V_0$ is directly proportional to [S]. But $V_{max}$ is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.

c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.

d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.

What volume of oxygen at STP is requieres for the complete combustion of 100.50 mL of C2H2
malfutka [58]

The volume of oxygen at STP required would be 252.0 mL.

<h3>Stoichiometic problem</h3>

The equation for the complete combustion of C2H2 is as below:

2C_2H_2 + 5O_2 --- > 4CO_2 + 2H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H2 to O2 is 2:5.

1 mole of a gas at STP is 22.4 L.

At STP, 100.50 mL of C2H2 will be:

                 100.50 x 1/22400 = 0.0045 mole

Equivalent mole of O2 according to the balanced equation = 5/2 x 0.0045 = 0.01125 moles

0.01125 moles of O2 at STP = 0.01125 x 22400 = 252.0 mL

Thus, 252.0 mL of O2 gas will be required at STP.
