5. Consider the following experiment: A block of iron with an initial mass of 50 g is placed in a sealed container of pure oxyge

n. After several days, the block is red in color and has a mass of 74 g. Are these observations a violation of the law of conservation of mass? Justify your answer.

The observation in the illustration remains in accordance with the law of conservation of mass assuming that moisture is present in the container.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law state that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. However, mass can be converted from one form to another.

In this case, the ion was placed in a container of pure oxygen. Assuming that moisture is present, iron reacts with oxygen to form rust according to the following equation:

4Fe + 3O_2 + 6H_2O --- > 4Fe(OH)_3

The rust formed will weigh more than the initial weight of the iron.

Without the presence of moisture, one can effectively conclude that the observation violates the law of conservation of mass.

what is the limiting reactant in the reaction of 12.0 g of SO2 with 8.0 g of H2S and their reaction? what mass of sulfur will be
larisa86 [58]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
2H₂S + SO₂ —> 2H₂O + 3S
Stoichiometry of H₂S to SO₂ is 2:1
Limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction and amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present.
Number of H₂S moles - 8.0 g / 34 g/mol = 0.24 mol of H₂S
Number of SO₂ moles = 12.0 g / 64 g/mol = 0.188 mol of SO₂
According to molar ratio of 2:1
If we assume H₂S to be the limiting reactant
2 mol of H₂S reacts with 1 mol of SO₂ 
Therefore 0.24 mol of H₂S requires - 1/2 x 0.24 = 0.12 mol of SO₂ 
But 0.188 mol of SO₂ is present therefore SO₂ is in excess and H₂S is the limiting reactant.
H₂S is the limiting reactant
Amount of S produced depends on amount of H₂S present
Stoichiometry of H₂S to S is 2:3
2 mol of H₂S forms 3 mol of S
Therefore 0.24 mol of H₂S forms - 3/2 x 0.24 mol = 0.36 mol of S
Mass of S produced = 0.36 mol x 32 g/mol = 11.5 g of S is produced

How does water move on its own concentration gradient?
kifflom [539]
Are you speaking of a density gradient, in which a more concentrated solution moves below a less concentrated solution?

In that case, the more concentrated solution has the greater density, and it will gradually sink below the less concentrated solution. 

In the same way, a stone will sink in water, which is less dense than the stone.

In contracting skeletal muscle, a sudden elevation of cytosolic Ca2 concentration will result in: Inactivation of phosphorylase
skad [1K]

Answer:

ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE AND ALLOSTERICALLY ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE B

Explanation:

In a contracting skeletal muscle, there is a rapid need of ATP by the muscle cell. The energy need is obtained by the degradation of glycogen into glucose which then enters glycolysis.  Muscle contraction causes muscle depolarization in which there is the rapid influx of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sacroplasm of the myocytes. This in turn causes the binding of calcium ion with calmodulin which thenb activates phosphorylase kinase from which it  allosterically activate the b form of the enzyme needed for the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other options do not occur as a result of increase in cytolic calcium concentration.

Write a note on Polygenic disorder.​
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a note? well alright

Explanation:

<em><u>Polygenic disease:</u></em>  (the defintion)

A genetic disorder that is caused by the combined action of more than one gene.

<u>Polygenic conditions</u><u>:</u> hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.

This is so because such disorders depend on the simultaneous presence of several genes, they are not inherited as simply as are single-gene diseases.
