Answer: hope this is hopeful

Explanation:

1.So, potassium atom is bigger than sodium atom.

2.Sodium: The valence electron of sodium is in the 3s orbital. Potassium: The valence electron of potassium is in the 4s orbital. Atomic Size. Sodium: Sodium atom is

3. • While excess of sodium is harmful for us, low levels of potassium have also been found to be associated with certain disorders of lungs and heart.

Imagine that you are observing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in lab. every time you add more enzyme, the reaction rate increases

tester [92]

Enzymes catalyze the chemical reactions, they act upon the reaction substrates and speed up the reaction. Enzymes have active sites, the places where the reaction substrates interact with the enzyme bringing about the conversion of substrates to products. So, as the enzyme concentration increases the rate of reaction increases till a point where the rate is leveled off. The rate does not further increase, as the substrate might have become limiting at that point. All the available amount of substrate would have been associated with the active sites of the enzymes. So, at that point although there is enough catalyst, lack of substrate would limit the rate of reaction.

A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration o

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

1.099 gmL¯¹ ≈ 1.1 gmL¯¹

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

Mass of empty cylinder = 9.5 g

Mass Cylinder + NaOH = 31.92 g

Volume of solution = 20.4 mL

Concentration of solution =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of sodium hydroxide, NaOH. This can be obtained as as illustrated below:

Mass of empty cylinder = 9.5 g

Mass Cylinder + NaOH = 31.92 g

Mass of NaOH =?

Mass of NaOH = (Mass Cylinder + NaOH) – (Mass of empty cylinder)

Mass of NaOH = 31.92 – 9.5

Mass of NaOH = 22.42 g

Finally, we shall determine concentration of the solution as follow:

Mass of NaOH = 22.42 g

Volume of solution = 20.4 mL

Concentration of solution =?

Concentration = mass /volume

Concentration of solution = 22.42 / 20.4

Concentration of solution = 1.099 gmL¯¹ ≈ 1.1 gmL¯¹

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 1.1 gmL¯¹

Explain the Doppler effect using light. Why is the Doppler effect important in astronomy?

Alexeev081 [22]

Doppler effect is the compression or extension of a sound wave, which causes a change in its wavelength / frequency (and so its sound).
Explanation: It is defined as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an upward shift in frequency for observers, the source is moving towards and downward shift of frequency from which the source is moving away. used to tell if an object in space is moving toward or away from us.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increasing the the temperature would favour the endothermic reaction which is the forward direction however increasing the pressure would make the reaction try to counteract this change by favouring the reaction that would create more products so the equilibrium will shift left instead of right.

Hope this helps.
