nikdorinn [45]3 years ago
5 0
Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

When an atom makes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower one, a photon is released. What is the wavelength of the p
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Wavelength of the photon depends on transition from different states.

Explanation:

The wavelength of the photon that is emitted from the atom during the transition depends on the transition from different states. If the photon is emitted from n=4 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1875 while on the other hand, if the photon is emitted from n=5 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1282. If the photon is emitted from n=3 state to n=2 state, the wavelength of photon is 656.

Given the following Babnced equation 4NH3 +5O2>
igor_vitrenko [27]
4NH3 + 5O2 ==> 4NO + 6H2O Balanced equation
ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed

If you have studied the chemistry of fats can you identify the end arrangement found in fatty acids as well as amino acids? What
White raven [17]
Answers:
1) - COOH
2) carboxyl group

The organic acids contain the carboxyl group: - COOH.

Fats are structures composed by fatty acids. Fatty acids are long aliphatic chains with a carboxyl group at the end.

Aminoacids are chains that contains amine group (NH2) at one end and the carboxyl group at the other end.

Then both aminoacids and fatty acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end.
