Complete question is;

Chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group while reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Give reasons

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Alkali metals exhibit reactivity due to their electropositivity. Now, for alkalis, their electro-positivity increases down their group. Since their reactivity increases with increase in electropositivity, it means their reactivity also increases down the group.

Whereas, the reactivity of halogens occurs as a result of their electronegativity. Now, electronegativity for halogens decreases down the group. Since their reactivity decreases with decrease in electronegativity, it means that their reactivity will also decrease down the group.

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

We are given:

Molar mass of methane gas, m = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas,m' = 32 g/mol

By taking their ratio, we get:

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{m'}{m}}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{16}}=1.4142$

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

If oxygen gas travels 1 meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of oxygen = $d_{O_2}=\frac{1 m}{t}$

If methane gas travels travels in y meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of methane= $d_{CH_4}=\frac{y }{t}$

$\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\frac{\frac{y }{t}}{\frac{1 m}{t}}=1.4142$

y = 1.4142 m

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Formed when an amine is combined with a carboxyl group

alekssr [168]

Hello.

The answer is C.Amine

When an amine is combined (reacted) with a carboxyl group, an AMIDE + water is formed, and if you carry on heating under a vacuum, an imidazoline is formed.

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.
