Why do non metallic elements pull electrons from metallic elements so effectively during a reaction?

1 answer:

8 0

Non metallic elements pull electrons from metallic elements so effectively during a reaction because they have a tendency to gain electrons and tend to be small in size.
<span>Non metallic elements have higher electronegativities than metals. The atoms of nonmetals tend to gain electrons in order to acquire a noble gas electron configuration. This gives them a net negative electric charge. </span>

Determine the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula of a compound with the following composition:

34kurt

To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:

C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g

We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol

C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1

Consider the following generic reaction for which Kp = 5.51 × 105 at 25°C:

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$K_c=1.35\times 10^7$

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

$K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}$

Where,

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

$2R_{(g)}+A_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2Z_{(g)}$

Given: Kp = $5.51\times 10^5$

Temperature = 25°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

R = 0.082057 L atm.mol⁻¹K⁻¹

Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1

Thus, Kc is:

$5.51\times 10^5= K_c\times (0.082057\times 299)^{-1}$

$K_c\frac{1}{24.535043}=551000$

$K_c=13518808.69=1.35\times 10^7$

Which of the following biological macromolecule is correctly paired with its main function in the body?

daser333 [38]

Answer is: Proteins-growth and repair of cellular structures.
Proteins are macromolecules made of amino acids (usually 20 amino acids) and they are main structure molecules of all living cells.
Lipids and sugars (glucose) are main source of energy in every living organism and they are used as the cell's energy reserves.
