Answer:

explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Our aim is to draw a structure of XeO2F2 whith the least formal charges. We must remember that the compound has 34 valence electrons.

To obtain the least formal charges then Xe must have a total of twelve electrons on its valence shell instead of eight.

The other atoms around the central Xe atom are arranged as shown in the image attached.

galina1969 [7]

The extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium refers to the state in which both the reactants and products are present in equal concentrations or amount. In equlibrium, same amount of reactant is converted into product and product into reactant.

So we can conclude that the extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.

Explanation:

To determine the mass of ascorbic acid knowing the number of moles we use the following formula:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of ascorbic acid = 2.82 × 10⁻⁴ × 176

mass of ascorbic acid = 496 × 10⁻⁴ g = 0.0496 g = 49.6 mg

daily requirement of ascorbic acid = 70 - 90 mg

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, $HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}$

The conjugate base is $F^{-}$ which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

$CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}$

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Consider a cell membrane at 298K which has glucose at the concentration of 200mM inside the cell and 20 mM outside the cell, wit

OleMash [197]

Answer:

D. +5.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Molar free energy (ΔG) in the transportation of uncharged molecules as glucse through a cell membrane from the exterior to the interior of the cell is defined as:

ΔG = RT ln C in / C out

knowing R is 8,314472 kJ/molK; T is 298K Cin = 200mM and Cout = 20mM

ΔG = 5,7 kJ/mol

Right answer is:

D. +5.7 kJ/mol

I hope it helps!
