The correct answer is due to rapid conversion of nitrates into nirites in extracellular fluids.

Due to the fact that it is quickly transformed to nitrates and nitrites in the extracellular fluid, nitric oxide (NO) functions as a paracrine signal that only impacts nearby cells. Because it relaxes the smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls, nitric oxide (NO) causes blood vessels to widen. Cell signaling is a type of cellular communication in which a cell produces a signal to cause changes in neighboring cells, changing the behavior of those cells. Paracrine signaling is one type of cell signaling. Responses to allergens, tissue repair, the development of scar tissue, and blood clotting are a few examples of paracrine signaling. The transmission of signals through synapses between nerve cells is known as paracrine signaling.

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7

brilliants [131]

Answer: $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Explanation:

$HF\rightarrow H^+F^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.056 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0016$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}$

Thus $[H^+]$ of 0.056 M HF solution is $8.96\times 10^{-5}$

A gas has a volume of 3.25 liters at 54 C and 231 kPa of pressure. At what temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of

Firdavs [7]

Answer: 318 K

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 231 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 168 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 3.25 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 4.35 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $54^oC=273+54=327K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{231\times 3.25}{327}=\frac{168\times 4.35}{T_2}$

$T_2=318K$

At 318 K of temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of space and have a pressure of 168 kPa

When 1 mole of CO(g) reacts with H2O(l) to form CO2(g) and H2(g) according to the following equation, 2.80 kJ of energy are abso

Inga [223]

Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ

Explanation

Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.

The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ

Hope this helps:)
