Answer:

the answer is monerans

Explanation:

When Carl Woese developed the modern system of classification, he broke the previous kingdom of Monera into the two kingdoms of Bacteria and Archaea.

Some biologists believed it made sense to classify prokaryotes as belonging to their own kingdom, the Monera. That served as the foundation for Richard Whittaker  and Lynn Margulis's five-kingdom proposal, which enhanced the Haeckel plan by include a kingdom of fungus.

Protists, protozoa, monera, fungi, and viruses have long been proposed as belonging to different kingdoms, but traditional evolutionists during the majority of the 20th century had given none of them any thought.

Later, the Monera kingdom was split into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria by Carl Woese .  Moreover, he divided the five kingdoms into three domains: Eukaryotes, Archaea, and Bacteria.

Answer:

[tex]r_{NH_3,abs} =6.00\frac{M}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can write the law of mass action for the undergoing chemical reaction, based on the rates and the stoichiometric coefficients:

[tex]\frac{1}{-2}r_{NH_3} =\frac{1}{1} r_{N_2}=\frac{1}{3}r_{H_2}[/tex]

In such a way, knowing the rate of formation hydrogen (H₂), we can know the  rate of change of ammonia, that must be negative for consumption:

[tex]r_{NH_3} =\frac{-2}{3}r_{H_2}=\frac{-2}{3}*9.00\frac{M}{s} \\\\r_{NH_3} =-6.00\frac{M}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

Both carbon and silicon are members of group 4A(now group 14) i n the periodic table. Carbon is the first member of the group. CO2 is a gas while SiO2 is a solid. In SiO2, there are single bonds between silicon and oxygen and the geometry around the central atom is tetrahedral while in CO2, there are double carbon-oxygen bonds and the geometry around the central atom is linear. CO2 molecules are discrete and contain only weak vanderwaals forces.

Again, silicon bonds to oxygen via its 3p orbital while carbon bonds to oxygen via a 2p orbital. As a result of this, there will be less overlap between the pi orbitals of silicon and that of oxygen. This is why tetrahedral bonds are formed with oxygen leading to a covalent network solid rather than the formation of a silicon-oxygen pi bond. A covalent network solid is known to be made up of a network of atoms of the same or different elements connected to each other continuously throughout the structure by covalent bonds.

In SiO2, each silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms. Each corner is shared with another tetrahedron. SiO2 forms an infinite three dimensional structure and melts at a very high temperature.

Answer:

Copper (II) chloride.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the described reaction which is also given as:

[tex]2Al + 3CuCl_2 \rightarrow 2AlCl_3 + 3Cu[/tex]

For us to identify the limiting reactant we first compute the available moles of aluminium:

[tex]n_{Al}=512gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}=19.0molAl[/tex]

Next, we compute the consumed moles of aluminium by the 1147 grams of copper (II) chloride by using their 2:3 molar ratio:

[tex]n_{Al}^{consumed}=1147gCuCl_2*\frac{1molCuCl_2}{134.45gCuCl_2}*\frac{2molAl}{3molCuCl_2} =5.69molAl[/tex]

Thereby, we can infer aluminium is in excess since less moles are consumed than available whereas the copper (II) chloride is the limiting reactant.

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

[tex]n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC[/tex]

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

[tex]n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH[/tex]

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

[tex]m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO[/tex]

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

[tex]n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO[/tex]

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

[tex]C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1[/tex]

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

[tex]C_3H_6O_2[/tex]

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

[tex]M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol[/tex]

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

[tex]C_9H_{18}O_6[/tex]

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Answer:

The colour of the orange solution becomes yellow.  

Explanation:

1. Before adding NaOH

Assume the picture showed a beaker of potassium chromate and one of potassium dichromate.

Both solutions are involved in the same equilibrium:

[tex]\rm\underbrace{\hbox{2CrO$_{4}^{2-}$(aq)}}_{\text{yellow}} +2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \, \underbrace{\hbox{Cr$_{2}$O$_{7}^{2-}$}}_{\text{orange}} + H_{2}O[/tex]

The first beaker contains mostly chromate ions with a few dichromate ions.

The position of equilibrium lies to the left and the solution is yellow.

The second beaker contains mostly dichromate ions with a few chromate ions.

The position of equilibrium lies to the right and the solution is orange.

2. After adding NaOH

According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

Beaker 1

If you add OH⁻ to the equilibrium solution, it removes the H⁺ (by forming water).

The system responds by having the dichromate react with water to replace the H⁺.  

At the same time, the system forms more of the yellow chromate ion.

The position of equilibrium shifts to the left.

However, the solution is already yellow, so you see no change in colour.

Beaker 2

The reaction is the same as in Beaker 1.

This time, however, as the dichromate ion disappears, do does its orange colour.

Also, the yellow chromate is being formed and its yellow colour appears .

The colour changes from orange to yellow.

Answer: The mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Given : Density of cresol = 1024 g/L

Volume of cresol = 405 ml = 0.405 L   ( 1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]1024g/L=\frac{mass}{0.405L}[/tex]

[tex]mass=1024g/L\times 0.405L=415g[/tex]

Thus mass of 405 ml of cresol is 415 grams

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

In the structure of nylon 6,6 we have amide groups. In this functional group, We have a nitrogen bond to hydrogen, so in this bond, we will have a dipole, due to the electronegativity difference. Nitrogen has more electronegativity than hydrogen, therefore a positive dipole would be generated in the hydrogen atom. Additionally, in the carbonyl group (C=O) due to the oxygen, we will have also a dipole, in this case, a negative dipole because the oxygen atom has more electronegativity (compare with carbon).

When we put two strings of nylon 6,6 the positive dipole will interact with the negative dipole and vice-versa and we will obtain the "hydrogen bonds".

Answer:

H₂(g) + Cu²⁺(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, one half-reaction is the oxidation (where the atom loss electrons) whereas the other reaction is the reduction (Where the atom is gaining electrons.

In the reactions:

H₂(g) → 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ oxidation

Here, the reaction is written as the oxidation because the hydrogen H₂ is in oxidation state 0 and H⁺ in +1. That means each atom is loosing one electron.

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s) reduction

And here, the Cu²⁺ is in +2 oxidation state and after the reaction is in Cu(s) 0 state. Thus, each atom is gaining 2 electrons.

The sum of both reactions is:

H₂(g) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ + Cu(s)

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) <=> CaCO3(s) + 4H2(g)

1. Writing an expression for the equilibrium constant, K.

The equilibrium constant, K for a reaction is simply the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactants raised to their coefficient.

Thus, we can write the equilibrium constant, K for the reaction as follow:

CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) <=> CaCO3(s) + 4H2(g)

K = [CaCO3] [H2]⁴ / [CaO] [CH4] [H2O]²

D. The name for the set of independent and dependent variables that will be controlled by the scientist.

The statement, that describes the ‘control’ in an experiment is "the name for the set of independent and dependent variables that will be controlled by the scientist."

A control is an element in an experiment that remains intact or unaffected by other variables. An experiment or observation aiming to minimise the influence of variables other than the independent variable is referred to as a scientific control. It serves as a standard or point of reference against which other test findings are measured.

In a scientific experiment, an independent variable is the variable that is modified or manipulated in order to assess the effects on the dependent variable. In a scientific experiment, the dependent variable is the variable that is being tested and measured.

Answer:

pH = 7.29

Explanation:

Ka of butanoic acid is 1.54x10⁻⁵

To obtain the pH of the solution you must use H-H equation for butanoic acid:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [C₃H₇COO⁻] / [C₃H₇COOH]

Where pKa is defined as -log Ka = 4.81

Now, you need to find [C₃H₇COO⁻] and [C₃H₇COOH] concentrations (Also, you can find moles of each substance and replace them in the equation.

Butanoic acid reacts with LiOH, producing C₃H₇COO⁻, thus:

C₃H₇COOH + LiOH → C₃H₇COO⁻ + H₂O + Li⁺

Moles of both reactants, C₃H₇COOH and LiOH are:

C₃H₇COOH = 0.0300L ₓ (0.1000mol / L) = 0.003000moles of C₃H₇COOH

LiOH = 0.0299L ₓ (0.1000mol / L) = 0.00299 moles of LiOH.

That means moles of C₃H₇COO⁻ produced are 0.00299 moles.

And moles of C₃H₇COOH that remains in solution are:

0.00300 - 0.00299 = 0.00001 moles of C₃H₇COOH

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [C₃H₇COO⁻] / [C₃H₇COOH]

pH = 4.81 + log₁₀ [0.00299moles] / [0.00001moles]

Answer:

[tex]m_{KAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}^{actual}=32.23gKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we balance the given equations as shown below:

[tex]Al(s)+KOH(aq)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow KAl(OH)_4(aq)+\frac{3}{2} H_2(g)\\\\KAl(OH)_4(aq)+2H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow KAl(SO_4)_2(aq)+4H_2O(l)\\\\KAl(SO_4)_2(aq)+12H_2O\rightarrow KAl(SO_4)_2\dot\ 12H_2O(aq)[/tex]

Now, with 3.00 grams of aluminium, 50.00 mL of water and 10.00 mL of 8.00M potassium hydroxide, the first step is to identify the limiting reactant by firstly computing the moles of all of them:

[tex]n_{Al}=3.00 gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}=0.111molAl\\ \\n_{KOH}=0.010L*8.00mol/L=0.08molKOH\\\\n_{H_2O}=50.00mL*\frac{1g}{1mL} *\frac{1mol}{18g}=2.78molH_2O[/tex]

Thus, we can notice that 0.111 mol of aluminium will consume 0.11. moles of potassium hydroxide and 2.78 moles of water will consume 0.927 moles of potassium hydroxide, for that reason, we can infer that since there are only 0.08 moles of potassium hydroxide, it is the limiting reactant, therefore, we compute the yielded moles of potassium aluminium hydroxide in the first reaction:

[tex]n_{KAl(OH)_4}=0.08molKOH*\frac{1molKAl(OH)_4}{1molKOH} =0.08molKAl(OH)_4[/tex]

Next, we compute the yielded moles of potassium aluminium sulfate in the second reaction assuming sulfuric acid is in excess:

[tex]n_{KAl(SO_4)_2}=0.08molKAl(OH)_4*\frac{1molKAl(SO_4)_2}{1molKAl(OH)_4}=0.08molKAl(SO_4)_2[/tex]

Finally, in the third reaction, we compute the yielded grams of potassium aluminum sulphate dodecahydrate by using its molar mass and its mole ratio with potassium aluminium sulfate:

[tex]m_{KAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}=0.08molKAl(SO_4)_2*\frac{1molKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}{1molKAl(SO_4)_2} *\frac{474.00gKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}{1molKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O} \\\\m_{KAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}=37.92gKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O[/tex]

Which is the theoretical yield, thus, by using the percent yield the actual yielded mass turns out:

[tex]m_{KAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}^{actual}=0.85*37.92gKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O\\\\m_{KAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O}^{actual}=32.23gKAl(SO_4)_2\dot \ 12H_2O[/tex]

Answer:

An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (or polyatomic ions), and is held together through the attraction of opposite charges. An example is KCl. A molecular compound is usually formed between two or more nonmetals, and is held together through the sharing of electrons between atoms. An example is SO2.

Explanation:

When we talk about ionic bonds, the first thing that must come to mind is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Hence, we know that metals form cations and nonmetals form anions, thus metals could transfer electrons to nonmetals to facilitate the formation of ionic bonds. Ionic bonds could also be formed by the combination of metals with polyatomic ions such as CaCO3. Always keep it in mind that ionic bonds are characterized by electrostatic attraction between any pair of oppositely charged ions.

Molecular compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals. We find covalent or polar covalent bonds in molecular compounds such as SO2.
