Answer:

it binds molecules like a chemical bond-breaking

Explanation:

Enzymes perform the critical task of lowering a reaction's activation energy—that is, the amount of energy that must be put in for the reaction to begin. Enzymes work by binding to reactant molecules and holding them in such a way that the chemical bond-breaking and bond-forming processes take place more readily.

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)

bixtya [17]

Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2

This equation shows a ____ refer to this summary equation of photosynthesis to complete the sentences about chemical bonds and r

coldgirl [10]

The balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} +12H_{2}O-->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}$

The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are $CO_{2}$ and H $H_{2}O$ and the products of the reaction are glucose $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ and oxygen $O_{2}$ . Oxygen is the nonpolar covalent gas which is released in the process of photosynthesis. The reactant $CO_{2}$ is a nonpolar covalent gas while the other reactant water $H_{2}O$ has polar covalent O-H bonds.

In the balanced chemical equation, the number of each type of element must be equal on both sides of the reaction.

how many moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are required to completely neutralize 2 mol of nitric acid (HNO3)

Brut [27]

2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be needed.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sodium hydroxide is a compound which is a base and nitric acid is the acid. The formula of the nitric acid is HNO3 and that of sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

The reaction between them are

NaOH +HNO3 =NaNO3 +H2O.

So here we can see that 1 mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of nitric acid to produce 1 mole of sodium nitrate and 1 mole of water.

So for 2 moles of nitric acid, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide will be required.
