Answer:

A. iodine

C. fluorine

F. bromine

Explanation:

Ionic bonds occur mostly between metals and non-metals. Usually, a wide electronegativity difference is preferred between the two atoms. This makes one atom more desirous to gain electron and other more willing to donate electrons.

To have Zn forming  a compound in the ratio of 1 to 2, the combining power must be similar to this.

The dominant oxidation state of Zn is the is the +2 state.

The other combining atoms must have the ability to recieve the two electrons.

The halogens fit perfectly into this picture. They need just an electron to attain nobility. They are also highly electronegative. If two halogens combines with the Zn, then the ionic bond will result.

The halogens are fluorine,chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

They will form these compounds:

                       ZnF₂, ZnBr₂ and ZnI₂

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

5.83 mol.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>2Al + 3Ag₂S → 6Ag + Al₂S₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of Ag₂S to produce 1 mol of Ag and 1 mol of Al₂S₃.

Al reacts with Ag₂S with (2: 3) molar ratio.

<em>So, 2.27 mol of Al reacts completely with 3.4 mol of Ag₂S with (2: 3) molar ratio.</em>

<em />

  • The limiting reactant is Ag₂S.
  • The excess "left over" reactant is Al.

The reamining moles of excess reactant "Al" = 8.1 mol - 2.27 mol = 5.83 mol.

Indicate which of the following criteria are important for the selection of a buffer to use in an in vitro biochemical reaction.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. The pKa of the chosen buffer should be close to the optimal pH for the biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

The buffer resist or maintain the change in pH in case of Acid or basic addition to the solution. The buffer capacity should be within one or two pH units when compared to the optimal pH.

Thus it is important to select a buffer with pKa close to the optimum pH of the reaction because the ability for the buffer to maintain the pH is is great at the pH close to pKa.

How is an exothermic reaction identified on a potential energy diagram?
Alla [95]
Energy diagrams are use to depict the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. There are two types of reaction based on the energy change, these are exothermic and endothermic reactions. In endothermic reactions energy are gained while in exothermic reactions energy are lost to the environment. To identify an exothermic reaction on a potential energy diagram, one has to compare the potential energy of the reactants and the products. If the potential energy of the product is less than that of the reactants, the reaction is exothermic.
