Answer:

In chemistry, in general terms, a substrate is a substance that other substances can react with and cause it to change into something else by the reaction.

Explanation:

The word “substrate” can have different meanings, it depends on which science we are talking about.

In chemistry, in general terms, a substrate is a substance that other substances can react with and cause it to change into something else by the reaction.

In biochemistry, the enzyme substrates are organic materials where an enzyme acts to cause a reaction. The enzyme just acts as a catalyst and is not affected by the reaction, as it does not change its chemical structure.

In biology, a substrate is the material where organisms grow and live in optimal conditions and with the necessary nutrients.

In geology, the layers found beneath the soil are called substrates.

What is the difference between energy levels, sub levels, and orbitals?

Lorico [155]

Explanation:

Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of containing an electron. ... The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

Tasya [4]

Answer : The value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$Br_2(aq)+Cl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2BrCl(aq)$

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

First we have to calculate the concentration of $Br_2,Cl_2\text{ and }BrCl$ .

$\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M$

$\text{Concentration of }BrCl=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.300mol}{0.500L}=0.6M$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction.

$K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(0.6)^2}{(1)\times (1)}$

$K_c=0.36$

Therefore, the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is, 0.36

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114Â°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid $C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)$

Melting temperature of Solid $C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K$

Temperature of liquid $C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K$

Specific heats of solid ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid $C_2H_5OH$ at 159 K

$\Delta T_1$ = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

$Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J$

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of $C_2H_5OH$ upto 223 K

$\Delta T_2$ = 223 K - 159 K = 64 K

$Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J$

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

$Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ$ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

When energy in the atom is released, what occurs?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

What happens when electrons in atoms absorb or release energy? When electrons absorb or release energy, their electrons can move to higher or lower energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.
