Chemistry Questions

Acute diabetes results in the formation of acetone in the body. Hence such patients smell of acetone.

Atoms are composed of Electrons, protons and Neutrons. Protons and Neutrons together called as Nuclei.

The minimum amount of energy required for a particular reactants to convert into products and is called as Activation Energy.

This activation complex is also termed as Transition State because according to Transition State Theory at transition state the existing bonds tend to increase in length and become weaken while, the new forming bonds tend to decrease in length and start becoming stronger.

Hence, the activated complex is in transition between reactants and products.

In the thermite process, the reducing agent is Aluminium.

Lime is sometimes applied to soil in order to increase the acidity of the soil.

S8 is an elemental form of sufur. In elemental form it can't be reduced or oxidized. Hence, it oxidation number is zero and thus sulfur is zerovalent here.

Yes, Carbon disulfide is prepared by heating sulfur and charcoal. 

S2 + C ----> CS2
