Answer:
E - Be and O
A - Mg and N
E - Li and Br
F - Ba and Cl
B - Rb and O
Explanation:
Be and O
Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).
Mg and N
Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).
Li and Br
Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).
Ba and Cl
Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).
Rb and O
Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).
Answer:
The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
- Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
- The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
- Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
- In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
D. A mixture
If the water is evaporating while the salt remains, it means the two are not chemically bonded and therefore are not a compound.
Answer:
2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H
Explanation:
2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H is the equation of the reaction between metal and steam. Silver reacts with water (steam) forming silver oxide and hydrogen gas. When the metals react with steam it produces the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. On the surface o metals, a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed that keeps water away from the metal so we can say that silver oxide and hydrogen are formed from the reaction of silver metal and steam.
