Answer:

both drugs will be equally effective

Explanation:

A racemic mixture is a substance that contains a 50/50 mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers of an optically active compound.

It is important to note that even if a drug occurs as a racemic mixture, only the biologically active enantiomer will interact with the substrate on which the drug acts. The other enantiomer present is just irrelevant. Similarly, its presence does not affect the biological activity of the active enantiomer.

Hence, both Prilosec and Nexium are both equally effective.

H2CO3(aq) + H200 H30 (aq) + HCO3 (aq).
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

Explanation:

Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:

  • an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
  • in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
  • in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
  • each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
  • only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.

Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

13. will any of the bulbs light if you open the switch?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

14.None would shine if bulb 1 broke

Explanation:

Bulb one connects all the other bulbs to the switch. If bulb 2 broke instead only 1 and 3 will shine because bulb 2 is not connected to bulb 3. all the bulbs should light when the switch is on.

I dont think I actually got this right pls dont take my answer for fact.

For the reaction:
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant for CO now

= 0.212 M

For H₂O

= 0.212 M

For CO₂ = x = 0.2880 M

For H₂ = x = 0.2880 M

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g)

The ICE Table for this reaction can be represented as follows:

                   CO(g)      +   H2O(g)   ⇌    CO2(g)   +     H2(g)

Initial            0.5                0.5                   -                      -

Change        -x                   -x                      + x                + x

Equilibrium   0.5 -x           0.5 - x

The equilibrium constantK_c = \dfrac{[x][x]}{[0.5-x][0.5-x]}

K_c = \dfrac{[x]^2}{[0.5-x]^2}

where; K_c = 1.845

1.845 = \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{x}{0.5-x} \end {pmatrix}^2

\sqrt{1.845}= \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{x}{0.5-x} \end {pmatrix}

1.3583= \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{x}{0.5-x} \end {pmatrix}

1.3583 (0.5-x) = x

0.67915  - 1.3583x = x

0.67915  = x +  1.3583x

0.67915 = 2.3583x

x = 0.67915/2.3583

x = 0.2880

The equilibrium constant for CO now = 0.5 - x

= 0.5 -  0.2880

= 0.212 M

For H₂O = 0.5 - x

= 0.5 -  0.2880

= 0.212 M

For CO₂ = x = 0.2880 M

For H₂ = x = 0.2880 M

Explain the difference between the reacts and products of a chemical reaction
Alika [10]
Reactants are what is changed in the chemical reaction. They go before the arrow when you wrote the equation. Products are what is formed when the chemical reaction occurs. Products always contain the same elements as the reactants, but they might be rearranged because of the reaction. In this picture, you can see that the reactants go before the arrow, and the products go after.
