Answer:

               Hydrocarbons are those compounds which are entirely made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

In <em>biochemistry</em>, Lipids are the macromolecules that contains a long chain hydrophobic (non polar) hydrocarbon chain and helps in building and functioning of the living cells. The examples of Lipids are waxes, oils, fats, harmones, non-protein membranes and certain vitamins.

Fatty Acids belong to the class of organic compounds called as carboxylic acids containing a long chain of hydrocarbons and a carboxylic functional group (-COOH) at one end.

Hydrocarbons: In organic chemistry hydrocarbons are those compounds which are entirely made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. As the bonding between H and C atoms is non-polar therefore, the hydrocarbons are insoluble in polar solvents like water hence, are designated as hydrophobic (water fearing).

What is the mass of nickel(ii) nitrate (182.71 g/mol) dissolved in 25.0 ml of 0.100 m ni(no3)2 solution?
Studentka2010 [4]
The mass  of  ni(NO3)2  that  dissolved  in  25.0 ml  of 0.100m  ni(NO3)2  solution  is  calculated  as   follows

fin  the  number  of  moles   =  molarity   x  volume in  liters

=25  x0.100/ 1000= 2.5  x10^-3  moles
mass  =  mass  x  molar  mass
= 2.5  x10^-3 moles x  182.71 g/mol  = 0.457  grams

Consider the following hypothetical reaction: 2 P + Q → 2 R + S The following mechanism is proposed for this reaction: P + P Q
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: the answer is option (D). k[P]²[Q]

Explanation:

first of all, let us consider the reaction from the question;

2P + Q → 2R + S

and the reaction mechanism for the above reaction given thus,

P + P ⇄ T     (fast)

Q + T → R + U    (slow)

U → R + S    (fast)

we would be applying the Rate law  to determine the mechanism.

The mechanism above is a three step process where the slowest step seen is the rate determining step. From this, we can see that this slow step involves an intermediate T as reactant and is expressed in terms of a starting substance P.

It is important to understand that laws based on experiment do not allow for intermediate concentration.  

The mechanism steps for the reactions in the question  are given below when we add them by cancelling the intermediates on the opposite side of the equations then we get the overall reaction equation.

adding this steps gives a final overall reaction reaction.

2P + Q ------------˃ 2R + S

Thus the rate equation is given as

Rate (R) = K[P]²[Q]

cheers, i hope this helps

How many hydrogen molecules are there in 1 ton of hydrogen?​
zaharov [31]
Hydrogen gas(H2) has a molar mass of 2 g. Molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of 1 mole of that substance. And by 1 mole it is meant a collection of 6.022*10^23 particles of that substance.

So number of moles of H2 are 0.5 in this case. And thus it means there are (6.022*10^23)*0.5 particles( here they are molecules) in 1g of H2.
