Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The most accurate method of determining the volume of an object, is the water displacement method. It has the peculiar advantage of working well with irregular solids.
There are often errors that prevent exact measurements of the volume of objects. This makes the water displacement method a preferred and easier method of determining the volume of an object.
Answer: D) It has two more electrons than protons.
Explanation: Sulphur (S) is an element with atomic number 16 and thus contains 16 electrons. A neutral atom contains equal number of protons and electrons.
![S:16:[Ne]3s^23p^4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S%3A16%3A%5BNe%5D3s%5E23p%5E4)
An atom on losing electrons gains positive charge and on gaining electrons gain negative charge.
Sulphide ion 
is formed by gaining 2 electrons to attain stable configuration of argon and thus contains two more electrons than protons.

Answer:
Na.
Explanation:
- The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
- 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 reduced.
- A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.
<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>
<em></em>
Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".
S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
Question:
What type of product forms in the intramolecular reaction between the aldehyde portion of the glucose molecule below and its C-5 hydroxyl group?
a. disaccharide
b. carboxylic acid
c. hemiacetal
d. ester
e. stereoisomer
Answer:
hemiacetal forms in the intramolecular reaction between the aldehyde portion of the glucose molecule and its C-5 hydroxyl group
Explanation:
It is an alcohol also an ether that has been attached to the carbon molecule. Here the hydrogen has occupied the fourth bonding position. This hemiacetal has been derived from the aldehyde. Hence, hemiketal being an alcohol as well as ether has been attached to the same carbon and also to the two other carbon.
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
