A product of homolytic fission can never be
a - charged
b - nucleophile
c- both
d-none of these
Answer:
both
Explanation:
A homolytic fission is said to have occurred when the breakage of a bond between two atoms leaves each of the bonding atoms with equal number of electrons. Homolytic fission often results in the creation of radicals.
Since homolytic fission yields two species with equal number of electrons(usually odd number of electrons), the products of such process can not be charged. They can not be nucleophiles because nucleophiles need to possess two electrons which can be shared with another chemical specie.

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, [tex]CH_{4}[/tex].
Explanation:
Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g
As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{146.6 g}{16.04 g/mol}\\= 9.14 mol[/tex]
The given reaction equation is as follows.
[tex]C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}[/tex]
This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.
[tex]Moles of H_{2} = \frac{9.14}{2}\\= 4.57 mol[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, [tex]CH_{4}[/tex].
How many grams of O2 are needed to react with 8.15 g of C2H2?
Answer:
25.08 grams of O₂ are needed to react with 8.15 g of C₂H₂.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction is:
2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O
By reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
C₂H₂: 2 molesO₂: 5 molesCO₂: 4 molesH₂O: 2 molesThe molar mass of each compound is:
C₂H₂: 26 g/moleO₂: 32 g/moleCO₂: 44 g/moleH₂O: 18 g/moleThen, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
C₂H₂: 2 moles* 26 g/mole= 52 gO₂: 5 moles* 32 g/mole= 160 gCO₂: 4 moles* 44 g/mole= 176 gH₂O: 2 moles* 18 g/mole= 36 gThen you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 52 grams of C₂H₂ react with 160 grams of O₂, 8.15 grams of C₂H₂ react with how much mass of O₂?
[tex]mass of O_{2} =\frac{8.15 grams of C_{2} H_{2}*160 grams of O_{2} }{52 grams of C_{2} H_{2}}[/tex]
mass of O₂= 25.08 grams
25.08 grams of O₂ are needed to react with 8.15 g of C₂H₂.

Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden. She needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know
how much space it will need.
How tall will the plant likely grow?
O less than 5 centimeters because it is a seedless vascular plant
less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant
O more than 5 centimeters because it is a seedless vascular plant
O more than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant
Answer:
less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant
Explanation:
Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).
According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.

A calorimeter measures the ______ involved in reactions or other processes by measuring the ______ of the materials _____ in the process. The calorimeter is _______ to prevent transfer of heat to outside the device.
Answer:
heat; temperature; surrounding; insulated.
Explanation:
A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for measuring the heat involved in reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.
Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with very high level of resistivity so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter). Some of the components that make up a simple calorimeter are thermometer, an interior styrofoam cup, an exterior styrofoam cup, cover, etc.
Additionally, a calorie refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water by one degree Celsius (°C).
Suppose an enzyme and its substrate obey the lock and key model of enzyme catalysis. Which of the following would be true of the enzyme?
a. only one substrate could be converted to product by the enzyme
b. the active site of the enzyme must be rigid
c. the entire enzyme must be rigid
d. the active site of the enzyme must be flexible
e. the enzyme could bind different substrates if the substrates shared a common motif somewhere in their structures
Answer:
only one substrate could be converted to product by the enzyme
Explanation:
If an enzyme obeys the lock and key model, it then follows that the design of the enzyme is unique to a particular substrate.
Just as only the correct key can effectively fit into a lock, only the appropriate substrate whose design matches that of the enzyme can fit into the enzyme.
Owing to the lock and key model of enzyme activity, only one enzyme could interact with a substrate to yield particular product.
A student obtained an unknown metal sample that weighed 65.3 g and at a temperature of 99.8oC, he placed it in a calorimeter containing 43.7 g of water at 25.7oC. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 34.5oC. Knowing the specific heat of the water to be 4.18 J/goC, what is the specific heat of the metal
Answer:
0.377 J/gºC
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of metal (Mₘ) = 65.3 g
Initial temperature of metal (Tₘ) = 99.8 °C
Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 43.7 g
Initial temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 25.7 °C
Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 34.5 °C
Specific heat capacity of water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.18 J/gºC
Specific heat capacity of metal (Cₘ) =?
The specific heat capacity of metal can be obtained as illustrated below:
Heat lost by metal = heat gained by water.
MₘCₘ(Tₘ – Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Cᵥᵥ)
65.3 × Cₘ (99.8 – 34.5) = 43.7 × 4.18 (34.5 – 25.7)
65.3Cₘ × 65.3 = 182.666 × 8.8
4264.09Cₘ = 1607.4608
Divide both side by 4264.09
Cₘ = 1607.4608 / 4264.09
Cₘ = 0.377 J/gºC
Therefore the specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.377 J/gºC
An acetic acid buffer containing 0.50 M acetic acid (CH3COOH) and 0.50 M sodium acetate (CH3COONa) has a pH of 4.74. What will the pH be after 0.0020 mol of HCl has been added to 100.0 mL of the buffer
Answer:
pH = 4.71
Explanation:
We can find the pH of a buffer (Mixture of weak acid: CH3COOH, and its conjugate base: CH3COONa) using H-H equation:
pH = pKa + log [CH3COONa] / [CH3COOH]
Where pH is the pH of the buffere = 4.74, pKa the pka of the buffer and [] could be taken as the moles of each reactant.
As initially [CH3COONa] = [CH3COOH], [CH3COONa] / [CH3COOH] = 1:
pH = pKa + log 1
4.74 = pKa
To solve this question we need to find the initial moles of each species, The CH3COONa reacts with HCl to produce CH3COOH. That means the moles of CH3COOH after the reaction are: Initial CH3COOH + Moles HCl
Moles CH3COONa: Initial CH3COONa - Moles HCl.
Moles CH3COOH:
0.100L * (0.50mol / L) = 0.050 moles CH3COOH + 0.0020 moles HCl =
0.052 moles CH3COOH
Moles CH3COONa:
0.100L * (0.50mol / L) = 0.050 moles CH3COONa - 0.0020 moles HCl =
0.048 moles CH3COONa
Using H-H equation:
pH = 4.74 + log [0.048 moles] / [0.052 moles]
pH = 4.71The pH be after 0.0020 mol of HCl has been added to 100.0 mL of the buffer is 4.71.
What is buffer solution?Buffer solution is a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.
We can calculate the pH of buffer solution by using Henderson - Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log[CH₃COONa] / [CH₃COOH]
Initially concentration of CH₃COONa is equal to the concentration of CH₃COOH and equal becomes:
4.74 = pKa + log(1)
pKa = 4.74
Given moles of added HCl moles = 0.002 mole
Given molarity of each CH₃COOH & CH₃COONa = 0.50M
Given Volume = 100mL
We can calculate the moles by using the formula:
n = M × V
Moles of CH₃COOH & CH₃COONa = 0.100 × 0.50 = 0.050 moles
Moles of CH₃COOH = 0.050moles CH₃COOH + 0.0020moles HCl =
0.052moles CH₃COOH
Moles of CH₃COONa = 0.050moles CH3COONa - 0.0020moles HCl =
0.048moles CH₃COONa
Now, resultant pH will be:
pH = 4.74 + log [0.048 moles] / [0.052 moles]
pH = 4.71
Hence, pH of resultant solution is 4.71.

The element antimony has two stable isotopes, antimony-121 with a mass of 120.90 amu and antimony-123 with a mass of 122.90 amu. From the atomic weight of Sb = 121.76 one can conclude that: ________
antimony-123 has the highest percent natural abundance
most antimony atoms have a mass of 121.76 amu
antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance
both isotopes have the same percent natural abundance
Answer:
antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance
Explanation:
percent natural abundance;
121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 (1 - x)
121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 - 122.90x
121.76 = -2x + 122.90
121.76 - 122.90 = -2x
x= 121.76 - 122.90/ -2
x= 0.57
Where x and 1 - x refers to the relative abundance of each of the isotopes
Percent natural abundance of antimony-121 = 57 %
Percent natural abundance of antimony-123 = (1 - 0.57) = 43%
Let us remember that isotopy refers to a phenomenon in which atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. This results from differences in the number of neutrons in atoms of the same element.
We can clearly see that antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance.
Determine the molarity of the sodium ions when 78.0 g Na2S is dissolved in water for a final volume of 1.0 L.
Answer:
[Na⁺] = 1.99 M
Explanation:
Na₂S is a ionic salt that can be dissociated.
Dissociation equation is:
Na₂S → 2Na⁺ + S⁻²
1 mol of sodium sulfide can give 2 moles of sodium cation.
We convert moles of salt: 78 g . 1mol / 78.06 g = 0.999 moles
As ratio is 1:2, after dissociation we have (0.999 . 2) = 1.998 moles of Na⁺
Molarity is a type of concentration.
It indicates moles of solute in 1 L of solution and in this case, we have 1 L as final voulme.
Moles of Na⁺ are 1.998 moles. Then molarity (mol/L) is:
M =1.99 mol/L

The titration of a weak acid with a strong base is a common exercise in chemistry labs. We have looked at all of the individual types of calculations needed to determine the pH at any point of a titration. Consider the titration of 0.100 L of 0.300 M acetic acid with 2.00 M NaOH. What type of calculation will we be performing at the following points of the titration curve
Answer:
1. Weak acid calculation
2. Strong base calculation
3. Strong base calculation
4. Strong base calculation
Explanation:
1. Zero equivalents of base added
2. 0.15 equivalents of base added
3. One equivalent of base added
4. 1.75 equivalents of base added
The equivalents of acetic acid are:
0.100L * (0.300mol/L) = 0.0300 moles of acetic acid = 0.0300Eq.
1. With Zero equivalents of base added you will calculate pH using weak acid calculation because you have only acetic acid (Weak acid) in the solution.
2. When 0.15 equivalents of base are added all the acid reacted and 0.15-0.03 = 0.12 equivalents of Strong base are in excess. With these equivalents and the volume we can find pH using strong base calculation.
3 and 4. As with 0.15 eq. added the 1 eq. and 1.75 eq. produce an excess of strong base and the pH must be calculated by using strong base calculation

The enthalpy of Sodium is 235 calories. The enthalpy Chlorine is 435 calories. The enthalpy of Sodium chloride 670 joules, what is the change in enthalpy for this reaction?
Answer:
ΔH = -2446J
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl
We can find the enthalpy of this reaction using Hess's law:
The enthalpy of a reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy of products times their reaction quotient subtracting the enthalpy of reactants times their reaction quotient. For the reaction of the problem:
ΔH = 2ΔH(NaCl) - [2ΔH(Na) + ΔHCl2)]
ΔH(NaCl) = 670J
ΔH(Na) = 235cal * (4.184J/1cal) = 983J
ΔHCl2 = 435cal * (4.184J/1cal) = 1820J
ΔH = 2*670J - [2*983J + 1820J]
ΔH = 1340J - [3786J]

A) the collision frequency
B) the probability factor
C) the fraction of collisions with energy greater than Bact
D) the energy of activation.
E) the amount of heat released in the reaction
Answer:
the fraction of collisions with energy greater than Eact
Explanation:
The activation energy of a reaction stands as a sort of energy barrier between reactants and products. It is only reactants that possesses energy greater than the activation energy that can be converted from reactants to products.
When the temperature of the system is increased, more particles acquire energy greater than the activation energy. Hence, the fraction of collisions with energy greater than the activation energy increases so the rate of reaction increases likewise.
