Answer:
The answer is: +7
Explanation:
Oxidation state or oxidation number of an element is the hypothetical charge on an element that forms completely ionic bonds. The oxidation number represents the number of electrons lost or gained by that element.
Perchlorate ion is a molecule with a chemical formula: ClO₄⁻
The oxidation state of oxygen in ClO₄⁻ = -2,
the total charge on the ClO₄⁻ molecule = -1,
let the oxidation state of chlorine be x
<u><em>As the sum of oxidation states of all elements in a molecule is equal to the total charge on the molecule.</em></u>
⇒ oxidation state of chlorine + oxidation state of oxygen × 4 = total charge on the molecule
⇒ x + (-2) × 4 = -1
⇒ x + (-8) = -1
⇒ x = -1 + 8 = +7
⇒<u> </u><u>x = +7</u>
<u>Therefore, the oxidation state of chlorine in the perchlorate ion (ClO₄⁻): x = +7</u>
Answer:
Gravitational potential energy transforms into thermal energy.
Explanation:
The number of significant figures within a number are the amount digits that are required to specify a number to a certain degree of accuracy. In the number, 0.0645 g, the 6 is the most significant figure and 4 is the second most significant figure. Therefore, rounding to two significant figures yields 0.064g.
The question is incomplete: the complete question is:
Rank molecules or group of molecules by when mammals use as fuel, starting right after meal to only through?
starvation.
a) glucose from glucose-2-phosphate from glycogen.
b) free glucose and amino acids
c) fatty acids from triglycerides
d) glucose produced from amino acids in liver.
Answer:
B
A
C
D
Explanation:
Free glucose and amino acid enters into the blood stream directly and can be used immediately after meals by mammals.
The liver stores excess glucose as glycogen, hence when glucose levels begin to reduce in the body, the pancreas releases glucagon which converts glycogen to glucose.
Triglycerides are broken down to give fatty acids which gives much more energy than glucose.
During starvation, amino acids in the liver is converted to glucose when a person goes for days without eating.
