Answer:

Explanation:

The stereochemical structures of the two compounds of the fumarase-catalyzed reaction are in the attachment below. The reaction been referred to is illustrated in the equation below

HOOCCH=CHCOOH + H₂O ==> HOOCCH₂CH(OH)COOH

The compounds attached are trans-2-butenedioate (which is one of the reactants) and (s)-2-hydroxysuccinate (which is the product formed)

Note that stereoisomers are isomers that differ in spatial orientation, thus there are other isomers that could contain the same atoms and have slightly but different spatial orientation such as cis-2-butenedioate and (r)-2-hydroxysuccinate

0.216g of aluminium compound X react with an excess of water water to produce gas. this gas burn completely in O2 to form H2O and 108cm^3of CO2 only . the volume of CO2 was measured at room temperature and pressure

0.108 / n = 24 / 1
n = 0.0045 mole ( CO2 >>0.0045 mole
0.216 - 0.0045 = 0.2115
so Al = 0.2115 / 27 => 0.0078 mole
C = 0.0045 * 1000 => 4.5 and Al = 0.0078 * 1000 = 7.8

Alkaline Earth Metals are the elements located in the second period from the left of the periodic table. These elements lose two electrons to form the stable octet when forming an ionic bond, resulting in a net charge of +2. Because they’re trying to get rid of those electrons to get to the stable octet, it’s easy to remove them - this means that the ionization energy of these elements is relatively low. Finally, since they’re looking to get rid of electrons, they certainly aren’t trying to gain any, meaning that their electronegativity is relatively low.

The correct answers are A and D.
