Chemistry

ladessa [460]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Water acts as a solvent of carbon dioxide excreted from tissues, in blood and helps in regulating pH (because it forms carbonic acid that lowers pH when it tends to get higher). Blood pH should be maintained at about 7.4. One major reason is that the structure of protein is dependent ton pH because pH determines its ionization hence also affecting the charges and interaction between side groups of amino acids. A change in pH may, therefore, denature proteins and negatively affect cellular functions.

To what is wax susceptible
maks197457 [2]
Wax is definitely susceptible to heat and with the application of heat such as burning a candle, the solid wax gets converted into a liquid. This fact can be used to remove ear wax also actually using hollow candles that will melt the ear wax and allow it to be drained out of the ear.

Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?1.Nitrogen and sulfur? OR 2. Magnesium and Flu
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.

Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.

When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).

Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
