Answer:

C. activates compounds for some reactions by transferring a phosphate group.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP, is an energy carrier molecule used by the cells of living organisms to carry out their cellular function. ATP has the peculiar ability to store and release energy needed to do work. This energy is stored when a phosphate molecule is added to ADP to form ATP while it is released when the last phosphate group is removed to form ADP.

ATP supplies energy to compounds by transferring one of its phosphate molecules to it in a process called PHOSPHORYLATION. This transfer causes the compound to be activated for the cellular process it is about to undergo.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The atoms or ions with the valid Lewis dot structures are B and C.

In A;

The Lewis structure of the carbon is correct. Each of the four dots represent the four valence electrons.

The nitrogen with one dot on top, left and to the bottom and has a charge of minus 3 is wrong. For it to have a charge of -3 it must have 8 lewis dots ( two on the top, right, bottom and to the left)

The nitrogen with four dots (on top, right, bottom and to the left) is wrong.

In B;

An oxygen has two dots on top and bottom and one dot to the left and to the right. This is correct , the 6 dots represent the valence electrons of oxygen.

In C;

A carbon has two dots on top, right, bottom and to the left and a charge of plus four. This is correct because the charge indicates that it has gained four extra electrons so its valence electrons is now 8.

In D;

An oxygen has two dots on top, left and to the bottom and a charge of minus 2. This is wrong because the lewis dots are incomplete. Two dots are missing.

The smell of dirty gym socks is caused by the compound caproic acid(contains H, C, O). Combustion of 0.844 g of caproic acid pro

adoni [48]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.784g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.92g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.784 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.784=0.214g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.92 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.92=0.213g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.844) - (0.214 + 0.213) = 0.417 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.214g}{12g/mole}=0.0134moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.213g}{1g/mole}=0.213moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.417g}{16g/mole}=0.0261moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0134 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0134}{0.0134}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.213}{0.0134}=15.89\approx 16$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0261}{0.0134}=1.95\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 16 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_{16}O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 116.2 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 60 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{116.2g/mol}{60g/mol}=1.94\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(16\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_{32}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_{32}O_4$

PLEASE HELP ME

Dmitriy789 [7]

Hello!

The ball took up 2,9L

To solve this problem, we should apply the ideal gas law and clear for n (the number of moles), as this value doesn't change when Devin takes the ball to the garage:

$n= \frac{P1*V1}{RT1}=\frac{P2*V2}{RT2}$

Now, we should clear this equation to find V2, as this is the value we are looking for:

$V2= \frac{P1*V1*T2}{P2*T1}= \frac{400kPa*3L*250K}{350kPa*300K}=2,857L$ ≈2,9L

Have a nice day!
