What is the purpose of the stairstep pattern on the periodic table of the elements?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The bold staircase in the periodic table allows us to classify which elements are metalloids.

Explanation: Additionally, it acts like a "divider" that allows us to properly distinguish the metals from the non-metals in the periodic table.

If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s) of a reaction, would you expect any substrate to form?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

e

Explanation:

<em>Provided the reaction that leads to the formation of the products can proceed in both forward and backward directions, the correct answer would be yes because the reaction will proceed backward until equilibrium is reached.</em>

<u>For a reaction that can proceed both forward and backward, the addition of a catalyst increases the rate of reaction in both directions based on the fact that a catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction. </u>

Hence, if an enzyme is added to the product of a reaction that has the potential to proceed in both forward and reverse reactions, a substrate would be expected to form because the reaction will proceed backward until an equilibrium is reached.

The correct option is e.

Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?
Zepler [3.9K]
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).

If nitrogen-13 has a half life of 2.5 years, how much remains from a 100g sample after 7.5 years
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.50g

Explanation:

T½ = 2.5years

No = 100g

N = ?

Time (T) = 7.5 years

To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / 2.5

λ = 0.2772

In(N/No) = -λt

N = No* e^-λt

N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)

N = 100*e^-2.079

N = 100 * 0.125

N = 12.50g

The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium
frez [133]
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
