An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reducedExamples of oxidizing agents include halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.
Explanation:
(a) The given data is as follows.
Temperature (T) =
= (25 + 273) K = 298 K
= 43000 J/mol
Since, both the liquid and vapors are at equilibrium. Therefore, change in free energy will be calculated as follows.
= 0
43000 -
= 0
= -144 J/mol K
Negative sign indicates an increase in entropy of the system.
Now, for 1 mole of
is as follows.
= 144 J/K
So,
- 214 = 144 J/k
= 358 J/K
Therefore, we can conclude that entropy of
vapor is 358 J/K.
(b) As we know that intensive variable are the variables which do not depend on the amount of a substance.
So, in the given situation only temperature will act as an intensive variable that will be required to completely specify the vapor-liquid mixture of
.
The acronym 'DNA' stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA is used to 'code' the genetic makeup of all living organisms, and is found inside the nucleus of the cell(Eukaryotes) or just floating in the cytoplasm of the cell(Prokaryotes). DNA is made up of 4 different pairs of base molecules(nucleotides) that are slightly different from another. The similar molecule structure RNA(ribonucleic acid) differs from DNA in that RNA nucleotides are just slightly different from the nucleotides of DNA. This difference is that RNA nucleotides have a hydroxide group(OH) where the DNA nucleotides just have a hydrogen atom.
Because the DNA nucleotide doesn't have the hydroxide group it has one less oxygen than RNA nucleotides do. This is where DNA derives the prefix "deoxy-," meaning "without oxygen."
The prefix "ribo-" is given to molecules with a certain configuration of a set of 3 consecutive but not necessarily contiguous CHOH(asymmetric) groups.
The combined form "nucleo-" is used to imply something that has to do with the nucleus, such as the nucleus of a cell where DNA is stored in Eukaryotes.
And finally, the ending of the acronym: "acid." DNA is an acid because the 4 nucleotides each contain a phosphate group, which are acidic.
And thus, we get our answer: deoxyribonucleic acid, and the meaning:
deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid
(without oxygen) + (has 3 CHOH groups) + (in/of the nucleus) + (acidic)
Thus, DNA is a molecule is basically an acidic molecule residing in the nucleus with 3 CHOH groups and is missing oxygen atoms.
I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but honestly I had a great time doing a little research into the name!
Hope this explains it a little! c;
Given :
a.
b.
c.
d.
.
To Find :
Find the most likely vale of x for each one .
Solution :
a .
Because boron have valency of 3 .
So , x = 3 .
b . 
Valency of carbon is 4 .
x = 4 .
c . 
Valency of nitrogen is 3 .
Therefore , x = 3 .
d . 
Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .
Also , two hydrogen are already there .
So , only 2 electrons left to share .
Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .
Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .
x = 2 .
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:
What are the correct coefficients when this chemical equation is
balanced? *
P4 + 02 P2O5
<h2>1, 5, 2</h2>
Explanation:
For this reaction we have a combination reaction. Balancing Strategies: This combination reaction is a lot easier to balance and if you can get an even number of oxygen atoms on the reactants side of the equation.
