Answer:

B. 4 ham slices

Explanation:

A chemical reaction involves one or more substances known as reactants combining chemically to give one or more substances known as products.

Reactants in chemical reactions combine in definite mole or mass ratios to give products. Therefore, when one substance is present in excess of what is required to combine with another to form products, that substance is known as the excess reagent. The other substance which is present in a smaller amount and which when used up, the reaction stops is known as the limiting reagent.

From the illustration of the sandwiches in the question, the recipe for one sandwich represents the chemical equation of a reaction. The equation form is given below:

2 cheese slices + 1 ham slice + 2 bread slices ---> 1 sandwich

The ratio of the reactant is 2 : 1 : 2

From the available ingredients, 12 cheese slices, 10 ham slices, 12 bread slices.

12 cheese slices will require 6 ham slices and 12 bread slices to produce 6 sandwiches.

However, since there are 10 ham slices, 4 ham slices will be left over unused. This is the excess or leftover reactant.

The pH of a 0.78M solution of 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid HC6H4NO2is measured to be 2.53.Calculate the acid dissociation constant

nika2105 [10]

Answer : The value of acid dissociation constant is, $1.1\times 10^{-5}$

Solution : Given,

Concentration pyridinecarboxylic acid = 0.78 M

pH = 2.53

First we have to calculate the hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$2.53=-\log [H^+]$

$[H^+]=2.95\times 106{-3}M$

Now we have to calculate the acid dissociation constant.

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of (weak acid) is,

$HC_6H_4NO_2\rightleftharpoons C_6H_4NO_2^-+H^+$

initially conc. 0.78 0 0

At eqm. (0.78-x) x x

The expression of acid dissociation constant for acid is:

$k_a=\frac{[C_6H_4NO_2^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_4NO_2]}$

As, $[H^+]=[C_6H_4NO_2^-]=x$

So, $x=2.95\times 106{-3}M$

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get:

$k_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.78-x)}$

$k_a=\frac{(2.95\times 106{-3})\times (2.95\times 106{-3})}{(0.78-2.95\times 106{-3})}$

$K_a=1.1\times 10^{-5}$

Therefore, the value of acid dissociation constant is, $1.1\times 10^{-5}$

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Orlov [11]

Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.

10. Given the reaction below, which is the reduced substance? Mg + Cl2 Mg2+ + 2Cl-

atroni [7]

Answer:

2Cl-

Explanation:

When a substance is reduced, it gains electrons. Because electrons are negatively charged, the substance that is reduced will have a negative charge. 2Cl- is the substance that was reduced because it became negative.

In the following chemical equation, identify the products and reactants and indicate whether or not the equation is balanced. If

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a). The products are C6H12O6 O2 and the reactants are CO2 + H20 + (solar (light) energy)

b). The reaction chemical reaction is balanced from the number of moles of reactants and products

Explanation:

Through photosynthesis green plants, some protistans and some bacteria in the presence of energy from sunlight, produce glucose as well as oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

It is a chemical reaction taking place in green plant to produce food which it uses to survive.

Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, water and solar energy in the leaves of a plant for it to take place.

The equation for photosynthesis is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (solar (light) energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

The products are C6H12O6 O2

and the reactants are CO2 + H20 + (solar (light) energy)

The reaction chemical reaction is balanced from the number of moles of reactants and products
