1. List the functions of the skin. Helppppp I need a whole paragraph

1 answer:

6 0

The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis or subcutaneous fatty tissue. The skin has three main functions: protection, regulation and sensation. Wounding affects all the functions of the skin. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.

A student plans to add HCL to a solution containing pb(NO3)2 (aq). To determine how much Pb2+ will precipitate from solution whe

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Option C. Ksp for PbCl₂

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant that is established between a solid and its ions in a saturated solution is what is known as Ksp (solubility product). It is an equilibrium constant based on concentrations.

The concentrations must be equilibrium, that is, concentrations of the ions in a saturated solution. To be sure of such saturation it is convenient to form a precipitate.

The smaller the Kps, the more insoluble the salt

Calculate the final concentration of each of the following:

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. 2 M

2. 2 M

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final concentration.

Initial Volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial concentration (C₁) = 6 M

Final volume (V₂) = 6 L

Final concentration (C₂) =?

The final concentration can be obtained as follow:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

6 × 2 = C₂ × 6

12 = C₂ × 6

Divide both side by 6

C₂ = 12 / 6

C₂ = 2 M

Therefore, the final concentration of the solution is 2 M

2. Determination of the final concentration.

Initial Volume (V₁) = 0.5 L

Initial concentration (C₁) = 12 M

Final volume (V₂) = 3 L

Final concentration (C₂) =?

The final concentration can be obtained as follow:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

12 × 0.5 = C₂ × 3

6 = C₂ × 3

Divide both side by 3

C₂ = 6 / 3

C₂ = 2 M

Therefore, the final concentration of the solution is 2 M

Th e enzyme-catalyzed conversion of a substrate at 25°C has a Michaelis constant of 0.045 mol dm−3. Th e rate of the reaction is

Elis [28]

Answer:

$1.620\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s$ is the maximum velocity of this reaction.

Explanation:

Michaelis–Menten 's equation:

$v=V_{max}\times \frac{[S]}{K_m+[S]}=k_{cat}[E_o]\times \frac{[S]}{K_m+[S]}$

$V_{max}=k_{cat}[E_o]$

v = rate of formation of products =

[S] = Concatenation of substrate

$[K_m]$ = Michaelis constant

$V_{max}$ = Maximum rate achieved

$k_{cat}$ = Catalytic rate of the system

$[E_o]$ = Initial concentration of enzyme

We have :

$K_m=0.045 mol/dm^3$

$v=1.15 mmol/dm^3 s=1.15\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s$

$[S]=0.110 mol/dm^3$

$v=V_{max}\times \frac{[S]}{K_m+[S]}$

$1.15\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s=V_{max}\times \frac{0.110 mol/dm^3}{[(0.045 mol/dm^3)+(0.110 mol/dm^3)]}$

$V_{max}=\frac{1.15\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s\times [(0.045 mol/dm^3)+(0.110 mol/dm^3)]}{0.110 mol/dm^3}=1.620\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s$

$1.620\times 10^{-3} mol/dm^3 s$ is the maximum velocity of this reaction.

Chemical equation for heat of formation of c25h52

Alexus [3.1K]

its exothermic. exothermic means the reaction gives out heat. [exo meaning outside and thermic meaning heat] because its a combustion reaction, fire is there meaning lots of heat.
endothermic means it takes in heat. a good example is ammonium and water (NH3 +H20)
<span>most chemical reaction are exothermic</span>
