Answer:

four subunits

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is made up of four subunits and can bind up to four oxygen molecules. Carbon dioxide levels, blood pH, body temperature, environmental factors, and diseases can all affect oxygen's carrying capacity and delivery

Rank the following elements by electron affinity 1) fluorine 2) selenium 3) arsenic 4) potassum 5) argon

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon

Explanation:

Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.

The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.

Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.

Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.

Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[RxN - Balanced] 3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[Given] 1.22 g Mg

[Solve] grams Mg₃N₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 3 mol Mg → Mg₃N₂

[PT] Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of Mg₃N₂ - 3(24.31) + 2(14.01) = 100.95 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.22 \ g \ Mg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg}{24.31 \ g \ Mg})(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg_3N_2}{3 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{100.95 \ g \ Mg_3N_2}{1 \ mol\ Mg_3N_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 1.68873 \ g \ Mg_3N_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1.68873 g Mg₃N₂ ≈ 1.69 g Mg₃N₂

What's the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Alik [6]

<span>Correct answer is:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy$

But how to get there?

Let's start with simple explanation of what exactly is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a multistage biochemical oxidation process of organic substances when prime product is energy (ATP - adenosine triphosphate) and other are released waste products. Cellular respiration takes place even if other metabolic processes are stopped, but cellular respiration may differ in particular organism groups.Some reactions during whole process of cellular respiration are similar in all types of living organisms.

Cellular respiration is prime indication of declining living processes.Only viruses which are on the edge of living organism and chemical particle are not performing cellular respiration.But to the point :P

In cellular respiration all substrates which are in the cell might be organic, but mostly we are using sugar oxidation - glucose in the presence of oxygen. Chemical formula of sugar looks like this:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6$

Oxygen is just

$O_2$

so for now we have just part of the equation:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow$

But what would be on the right hand side?

It's quite simple, remember equation of full combustion? If we want to burn something we need oxygen like in the equation, so the product of this equation would be carbon dioxide, water and of course energy (ATP).Carbon dioxide formula looks like this:

$CO_{2}$

As a reminder water formula:

$H_{2}O$

Full formula would look like that:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+O_{2}\Rightarrow\ CO_{2}+H_{2}O+energy$

But still as you see this equation is unbalanced, after balancing it would like that:

$C_{6}H_{12}O_6+6O_{2}\Rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+energy$

At the end I would like to explain one more thing. Energy which has been released during this process is part of high-energy connection which might be used to perform chemical reactions in the cell or to move organism for example in muscles. We need to remember that production of ATP is not happening with 100% efficiency and part of this energy is released as heat.</span>

Which of the following statements regarding spontaneous changes is false?A. Spontaneity is favored when heat is released.B. Spon

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.

For example, ice melting at $25^{o}C$ is spontaneous primarily due to the increase in molecular disorder (dispersal of matter). Also, melting of ice is taking place on its own without any external force.

It is not necessary that all exothermic reactions will be exothermic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement all exothermic reactions are spontaneous, is false.
