Fluoride is moderately basic, by far the most basic of the halides. It is a terrible leaving group. Fluoride is many orders of m

TEA [102]

Answer: Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability

Explanation:

As Size of an atom Increases, the Basicity Decreases this is because if we move downwards from the top of the periodic table to the bottom of the periodic table, the size of an atom increases. As size increases, basicity will decrease, meaning the element will be less likely to act as a base implying that the element will be less likely to share its electrons.

in the same vein. With an increase in size, basicity decreases, making the ability of the leaving group to leave increase to increase . This can be seen in the halogens going down the group from

F--- worst

Cl----fair

Br ----good

I-----excellent

with fluorine having the worst ability to leave than Bromine which is better in terms of the leaving group ability.

Five students performed a Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis of a protein sample. The following weight % nitrogen values were determined

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

G_calculated = 1.756

The outlier should be rejected, as G_cal > G_tab (= 1.463) at 95 % confidence.

Explanation:

The Grubb's test is used for identifying an outlier in data, which is from the same population. For this, a statistical term, G, is calculated for the suspected outlier. If the calculated value is greater than the tabulated G value then the suspected value is rejected. This term is given as,

G_calculated = | suspect value - mean| / s

Here, suspect value is 13.8, mean is to be taken of all the data (including suspected value). s is the standard deviation of the sample data.

s is calculated from the following formula:

s = (Σ(xi - x)²/(N-1))^1/2

Here, x is the mean, which is 15.24, xi is individual value and N is the total number of data (5).

From the above formula, s is found to be

Standard Deviation, s = 0.820

Now for G value,

G_calculated = | 13.8 - 15.24| / (0.820)

G_ calculated = 1.756

The tabulated G value at 95 % confidence and N -1 (5 - 1 = 4) degree of freedom is, 1.463.

As calculated G (1.756) is greater than the tabulated G (1.463), the value 13.8 is considered an outlier at 95 % confidence.

If atoms are made of smaller parts such as electrons, why are atoms considered the basic unit of matter?

arsen [322]

Firstly, atoms are also composed of protons and neutrons as well as electrons.

Now, to answer your question... Atoms are the smallest you can go while still having it be an element, hence the definition ''<span>the basic unit of a chemical element.'' It is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties of an element. However, atoms still need these charges to be atoms. Without electrons, they'd just be ions. Hope this helps.</span>

CAM plants function using crassulacean acid metabolism. Like C4 plants, CAM plants provide preparatory step for the Calvin cycle

poizon [28]

Answer: ORGANIC ACIDS

Explanation:

CAM PLANTS CARBOXYLATE ORGANICS ACIDS through the addition of CO2 to PEP Carboxylase( a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase enzyme present in the mesophyll cells of the cytoplasm in a green plant) to produce Oxaloacetate (organic compound).

CO2 + PEP ⇒ C4H4O5 (oxaloacetate)

Oxaloacetate is then converted to a similar molecule, Malate (C4H6O5, another form of organic compound) that can be transported in to the bundle-sheath cells. Malate enters the plasmodesmata and releases the CO2. The CO2 then fixed by rubisco and made into sugars via the Calvin cycle.

If you have a truckload of icecream, a bucket of sauce, a box of peanuts but only 1 cherry, you can only make 1 complete sundae.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<em>Only 5 sundaes can be made</em>

<em>The limiting reagent is the peanuts.</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A perfect ice cream sundae requires exactly:

• 3 scoops of ice cream

• 2 squirts of chocolate sauce

• 1 spoon of peanuts

• 1 cherry

If you have 7 scoops of ice cream, 3 spoons of peanuts, 5 cherries and 11 squirts of sauce, you can only

make 2 complete sundaes. In this case, the icecream is the limiting reagent.

If you have a truckload of icecream, a bucket of sauce, a box of peanuts but only 1 cherry, you can only make 1 complete sundae. In this case the cherry is the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the term given to the ingredient (read: reactant) that has the (stoichiometrically) least amount. The other reactants are said to be in excess. In a reaction the limiting reagent will be totally consumed, and some of the reactant in excess will be leftover.

Critical thinking questions

1. If you have 20 scoops of ice cream, 14 squirts of chocolate sauce, 5 spoons of peanuts and 7 cherries,

how many sundaes can you make and which ingredient is the limiting reagent?

From the ingredients for a a complete sundae given above,

20 scoops of icecream will make 20/3 = 6.66 sundaes

14 squirts of chocolate sauce will make 14/2 = 7 sundaes

5 spoonful of peanuts will make 5/1 = 5 sundaes

7 cherries will make 7/1 = 7 sundaes

From the above, we can work out that only 5 sundaes can be made, and the limiting agent here is peanuts, which has the least amount of sundae that can be made from its available amount.
