Answer:

endothermic reaction

Explanation:

It simply means that you are witnessing<u> an endothermic reaction</u>.

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from its surrounding, thereby leaving the reaction vessel with a lower temperature as compared to before the reaction.

It is as opposed to exothermic reactions which are reactions that give off energy in the form of heat to the surrounding, thereby leaving a reaction vessel warmer than before the reaction.

<em>In this case, the formation of ice crystals outside the test tube means that heat energy has been absorbed by the reaction which leaves the vessel a temperature cold enough to activate the formation of ice. </em>

Which is NOT correct for when the silver and vanadium half-cells are connected via a salt bridge and a potentiometer
lidiya [134]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is

Which is NOT correct for when the silver and vanadium half-cells are connected via a salt bridge and a potentiometer? Ag^+ + 1 e^- rightarrow Ag Edegree = 0.7993 V V^2+ + 2e^- right arrow V E degree =-1.125 V Ag+ is reduced V is oxidized 1.924 V V2^+ is reduced Ag is oxidized I and II III, IV, and V I, II, and III III only IV and V

Answer:

only IV and V

Explanation:

If we look at the values of reduction potential for the two species, we will discover that vanadium has a negative reduction potential indicating its tendency towards oxidation.

On the other hand, solve has a positive reduction potential indicating a tendency towards reduction.

This implies that vanadium must be oxidized and silver reduced and not the not her way ground? Hence the answer above.

What is the difference between a purine and a pyrimidine?
GalinKa [24]

Answer: Adenine and guanine are the two purines and cytosine, thymine and uracil are the three pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is that purines contain a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring fused to an imidazole ring whereas pyrimidines contain only a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring. They both are types or categories of nitrogen containing bases present in nuclei acids of DNA and RNA.

Purines are 2 Ring or Carbon Ring, Nitrogen containing bases. That consist of these 2 rings next placed next to each other. These examples include - Adenine and Guanine.

Pyrimidines are 1 or single Ring Nitrogen containing structures. There are 3 nitrogenous bases that are categorized as pyrimidines. Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.

What elements can on with other elements to form covalent bonds
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Non metals join to form covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.

In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name ​
Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

  • Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
  • Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

  • Potassium is a metal,
  • Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

  • Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
  • Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion \text{O}^{2-} when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each \text{O}^{2-} ion is twice that on a \text{K}^{+} ion. Each \text{K}^{+} would pair up with two \text{O}^{2-}. Hence the subscript in the formula: \text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}.

There are two classes of compounds:

  • Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
  • Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide \text{CO}_2, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula \text{CO}_2. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as \text{K}_2\text{O}.
