If a sodium ion has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons, what is the atomic mass of the atom?

Which technology is used to deal with waste management?

Alisiya [41]

D) recycling ;)

Waste Management's Aerobic-Anaerobic Bioreactor* is designed to accelerate waste degradation by combining attributes of the aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors. The objective of the sequential aerobic-anaerobic treatment is to cause the rapid biodegradation of food and other easily degradable waste in the aerobic stage in order to reduce the production of organic acids in the anaerobic stage resulting in the earlier onset of methanogenesis. In this system the uppermost lift or layer of waste is aerated, while the lift immediately below it receives liquids. Landfill gas is extracted from each lift below the lift receiving liquids. Horizontal wells that are installed in each lift during landfill construction are used convey the air, liquids, and landfill gas. The principle advantage of the hybrid approach is that it combines the operational simplicity of the anaerobic process with the treatment efficiency of the aerobic process. Added benefits include an expanded potential for destruction of volatile organic compounds in the waste mass. (*US Patent 6,283,676 B1)

What is the difference between an Isotope and an Allotrope?

Kaylis [27]

Allotropes are elements on the periodic table that have more than one crystalline form . There are three forms of the element carbon : Diamond, Graphite, and Fullerenes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but have a different mass number.

Calculate the standard reaction Gibbs free energy for the following cell reactions: (a) 2 Ce41(aq) 1 3 I2(aq) S 2 Ce31(aq) 1 I32

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

For a: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$ ............(1)

For a:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq.)+3I^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq.)+I_3^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Ce^{4+}(aq.)\rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $3I^_(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow I_3^-(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=2\\E^o_{cell}=+1.08V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times (+1.80)=-347,400J=-347.4kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b:

The given chemical equation follows:

$6Fe^{3+}(aq.)+2Cr^{3+}+7H_2O(l)(aq.)\rightarrow 6Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 6)

Reduction half reaction: $2Cr^{2+}(aq.)+7H_2O(l)+6e^-\rightarrow Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=6\\E^o_{cell}=-1.29V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-6\times 96500\times (-1.29)=746,910J=746.91kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

All of the following are true concerning enzymes, except that they:

suter [353]

Answer:

D (or E If properly listed to include the active site option)

Explanation:

A. Is true

Enzymes are organically biochemical catalyst and thus they can speed up the rate of chemical reaction in the body

B is true

They are catalysts as said earlier

C is true

They have active sites. An enzyme does not act on all substrates. They have particular group on which they can act. For example, we have carbohydrates enzymes that act on carbohydrates substrate only. This enzymes have no business acting on a protein substrate.

D. Enzymes are proteins

One of the important characteristics of enzymes is that they are protenious in nature

E. This is wrong. Enzymes like any over catalyst are not consumed in the course of the biochemical reaction
