What are the basic properties of the outer shell of an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
crimeas [40]3 years ago
7 0

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its physical and chemical properties. All elements are most stable with 8 electrons (an octet) in their outer shell.

Hope this helps!!

A(n) _______________ can be formed by linking together several monosaccharides via glycosidic bonds.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.

HC2H3O2 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇔ C2H3O2- (aq) + H3O+ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
marin [14]

The concentration of [H3O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the weak acid ionization reaction  

HA (aq) ---> H⁺ (aq) + A⁻ (aq)  

Ka's value  

\large {\boxed {\bold {Ka \: = \: \frac {[H ^ +] [A ^ -]} {[HA]}}}}

Reaction

HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇔  (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

\tt Ka=\dfrac{[C_2H_3O^{2-}[H_3O^+]]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}}\\\\1.8\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{0.22\times [H_3O^+]}{0.035}

[H₃O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample?
snow_tiger [21]
The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.
