Answer:

The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.

A sample of the chiral molecule limonene is 79% enantiopure. what percentage of each enantiomer is present? what is the percent

Degger [83]

Answer : The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

The % of enantiomeric excess = 58%

Explanation : Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the measurement of purity used for chiral substances.

Given,

% of pure limonene enantiomer = The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

Therefore, The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

Formula used :

$\%(+)\text{ isomer}=\frac{ee}{2}+50\%$

Where, ee → enantiomeric excess

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get the value of enantiomeric excess (ee).

${ee}=\frac{\%(+)-50\%}{2}$

$=\frac{79\%-50\%}{2}$

= 58%

For the equilibrium

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Equilibrium concentrations of the gases are

$H_2S=0.596M$

$H_2=0.004 M$

$S_2=0.002 M$

Explanation:

We are given that for the equilibrium

$2H_2S\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S_2(g)$

$k_c=9.0\times 10^{-8}$

Temperature, $T=700^{\circ}C$

Initial concentration of

$H_2S=0.30M$

$H_2=0.30 M$

$S_2=0.150 M$

We have to find the equilibrium concentration of gases.

After certain time

2x number of moles of reactant reduced and form product

Concentration of

$H_2S=0.30+2x$

$H_2=0.30-2x$

$S_2=0.150-x$

At equilibrium

Equilibrium constant

$K_c=\frac{product}{Reactant}=\frac{[H_2]^2[S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}$

Substitute the values

$9\times 10^{-8}=\frac{(0.30-2x)^2(0.150-x)}{(0.30+2x)^2}$

By solving we get

$x\approx 0.148$

Now, equilibrium concentration of gases

$H_2S=0.30+2(0.148)=0.596M$

$H_2=0.30-2(0.148)=0.004 M$

$S_2=0.150-0.148=0.002 M$

Why is bronze preferred in making statue

cupoosta [38]

Bronze metal is harder and more malleable than copper. It is also conducts property of ductility, so it can be easily shaped as a statue.

Choose the best answer below. Which of the following reactions will have the largest equilibrium constant at 298 K?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Relation between ΔG₀ and K ( equilibrium constant ) is as follows .

lnK = - ΔG₀ / RT

$K = e^{-\frac{\triangle G_0}{RT}$

The value of R and T are same for all reactions .

So higher the value of negative ΔG₀ , higher will be the value of K .

Mg(s) + N₂0(g) → MgO(s) + N₂(g)

has the ΔG₀ value of -673 kJ which is highest negative value . So this reaction will have highest value of equilibrium constant K .
