Answer:

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

in the two stage cooling method what is the maximum amount of time allowed for both stages cooling food from 135 to 41 degrees F

BlackZzzverrR [31]

In the past, restaurants had four hours, straight through, to cool food to 41°F or lower. Now the FDA recommends cooling food in two stages -- from 135°F to 70°F in two hours then from 70°F to 41°F or lower in an additional four hours for a total cooling time of six hours
Explanation:
the two-stage cooling method is a Food Code counselled procedure for cooling food in restaurants and foodservice institutions. within the two-stage cooling methodology, food is cooled from 140° F (60° C) to 70° F (21° C) among 2 hours and to 41° F (5° C) or lower among four hours. Use of this cooling methodology ensures that food is cooled quickly and safely and has no harmful effects.

A scientist is measuring the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction that produces a red-colored product. as the solution containin

slavikrds [6]

The answer would be A will increase and T will decrease.

The product of this reaction emits red light because it absorbs green and blue light. As the reaction occurs, the concentration of the product increase. This will makes absorbance of green and blue light increases and the solution will become redder.

How many grams of nh3 can be produced from 3.72 mol of n2 and excess h2.

olganol [36]

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃
1mol : 2mol
3,72mol : 7,44mol

n = 7,44mol
M = 17g/mol

m = n * M = 7,44mol * 17g/mol = 126,48g

How might the yield of 1-bromobutane be affected if water was not added, and what product(s) would be favored?

jek_recluse [69]

Due to the inability of the reaction to take place, the yield of 1-Bromobutane would drop.

Since 1-Butanol won't react with the additional sodium bromide, bromination won't happen.

If water had been supplied, the equilibrium would have shifted extremely far to the left, preventing the reactants from interacting with the acid and favoring the yield of 1-bromobutane instead.

<h3>What is Bromination?</h3>

When a substance undergoes bromination, bromine is added to the compound as a result of the chemical reaction.

After bromination, the result will have different properties from the initial reactant.
For example, an alkene is brominated by electrophilic addition of $Br_{2}$ .
Benzene ring bromination by electrophilic aromatic substitution.
