Do Covalent bonds have weaker or stronger chemical bonds than Ionic bonds?

1 answer:

4 0

Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds since they are of opposite charges. This makes them more attracted to each other, creating bonds that are harder to break. Covalent bonds don't have this and only occur to share electrons between atoms.

I hope this helps!

Write the overall equation for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa. express your answer as a chemical equation.

Schach [20]

the overall equation for the conversation of pyruvate to acetyl COA is as below

CH3COO-COO- + NAD+ + HS-COA = ch3-COO-S -COA +NADH +CO2

The oxidation of pyruvate led to a conversation of NAD+ to NADH and produces acetyl COA and CO2

Define "Mutarotation"

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.

In which of the following cases does the reaction go to farthest to completion ?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

$k=10^{3}$

Explanation:

k stand for equilibrium constants in terms of reaction

The higher the value of an equilibrium constant the faster the equilibrium reaction comes to completion.

Consider the example below:

$R_{1}\ + R_{2}$ ⇄ $P_{1}\ + P_{2}$

where

$The\ equilibrium\ constant\ K = \frac{P_{1}P_{2}}{R_{1}R_{2}}$

For a faster reaction the numerator i.e. the right hand side of the equation have to be higher than the left hand side (the denominator). therefore the higher the numerator, the higher the value of the equilibrium constant and the faster the reaction get to completion thus option c is correct.

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Sr(OH)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of carbonic acid in 150mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 3.5M

Volume = 150mL = 150/1000 = 0.15L

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 =..?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 = 3.5 x 0.15 = 0.525 mole.

Next, we shall convert 0.525 mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 to grams.

Mole of H2CO3 = 0.525 mole

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2CO3 = 0.525 x 62 = 32.55g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sr(OH)2 + H2CO3 → SrCO3 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of Sr(OH)2 and H2CO3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 88 + 2(17) = 122g/mol

Mass of Sr(OH)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 122 = 122g

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g.

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Therefore, 12.5g of Sr(OH)2 will react with = (12.5 x 62)/122 = 6.35g.

We can see evidently from the calculations made above that it will take 6.35g out 32.55g of H2CO3 to react with 12.5g of Sr(OH)2. Therefore, Sr(OH)2 is the limiting reactant and H2CO3 is the excess reactant
