Answer:
Explanation:
General reaction of acid in water is as follows:
HCl + H2O = H3O+ + Cl-
Thus Acids increase the concentration of hydronium ions in solution by donating hydrogen ions to water molecules is true
Answer: Every enzyme has a specific name that can give us insight into the specific reaction that that enzyme can catalyze. We divide them into six different categories.
1) Oxidoreductase - includes two different types of reactions by transferring electrons from either molecule A to B or vice versa. It is involved in oxidizing electrons away from a molecule.
2) Hydrolase - uses water to divide a molecule into two other molecules.
3) Transferase - you move some functional group X from molecule B to molecule A
4) Ligase - catalyzes reactions between two molecules, A and B, that are combining to form a complex between the two. (example: DNA replication)
5) Lyase - divides a molecule into two other molecules without using water and without reducing or oxidation
Answer:
CN^- is a strong field ligand
Explanation:
The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).
Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.
Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.
