Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine is anion with a -1 charge. But they are three chlorine atoms.

-1 * 3 = -3

So they have a -3 charge.

So to balance the compound, the nickel has to be a cation with a +3 charge.

-3 + 3 = 0

Furthermore, a chemical bond always has a 0 charge. Remember that.

Hope it helped! Rate my answer a 5 star if correct.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1. Lysine

2. Aspartic acid

3. Serine

4. Alanine

5. Tryptophan

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain two functional groups and one R side chain. The two functional groups are: carboxyl group and amino group.

The α-amino acids are the amino acids in which the two functional groups and the R side chain are attached to the α-carbon of the amino acid. They are total 22 α-amino acids.

1. A basic amino acid: Lysine is a positively charged, polar basic amino acid with a lysyl side chain.

2. An acidic amino acid: Aspartic acid is a negatively charged, polar acidic amino acid with an acidic carboxymethyl group.

3. A neutral polar amino acid: Serine is a polar and neutral amino acid with a hydroxymethyl group.

4. A non-polar aliphatic amino acid: Alanine is an aliphatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with a methyl side chain.

5. An aromatic amino acid: Tryptophan is an aromatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with an indole side chain.

How many moles of ScCl3 can be produced when 10.00 mol Sc react with 9.00 mol Cl2

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Moles of $ScCl_3$ = 6 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of $Sc$ and $Cl_2$ to make $ScCl_3$ is:

$2Sc+3Cl_2$ ⇒ $2ScCl_3$

The above reaction shows that 2 moles of Sc can react with 3 moles of $Cl_2$ to form $ScCl_3.$

Mole Ratio= 2:3

For 10 moles of Sc we need:

Moles of $Cl_2$ = $Moles of Sc *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}$

Moles of $Cl_2$ = $10 *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}$

Moles of $Cl_2$ =15 moles

So 15 moles of $Cl_2$ are required to react with 10 moles of $Sc$ but we have 9 moles of $Cl_2$ , it means $Cl_2$ is limiting reactant.

$Moles of ScCl_3=Given\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2 *\frac{2\ Moles\ o\ fScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}$

$Moles\ of\ ScCl_3=9 *\frac{2\ Moles\ of\ ScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}$

Moles of ScCl_3= 6 moles

Serggg [28]

Answer: The frequency of this light is $6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light = $453nm=453\times 10^{-9}m$

c = speed of light = $3.0\times 10^8m/s$

$\nu$ = frequency of light = ?

$\nu=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{453\times 10^{-9}m}=6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

The frequency of this light is $6.62\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

lana [24]

Answer:

the equilibrium constant is 1.8 x 10⁻5 and strongly favor the reactants.

Explanation:

the chemical reaction provided for the two equation are the same but different direction i.e a reversible reaction. Assuming, the mass of reactants and product and temperature remain constant.

therefore, the equilibrium constant K, is 1.8 x 10⁻5. this is a very small value of K, thereby strongly favor the backward direction to form reactant.
