Answer:

The correct option is: an increase in body temperature due to high fever

Explanation:

Denaturation of protein is a process by which the protein unfolds i.e. loses it's quaternary, tertiary, and the secondary structure when exposed to high temperature (above 41°C), change in pH or chemical denaturants. Denaturation of proteins leads to loss of activity.

The enzymes pancreatic proteases breaks down proteins by hydrolysis, thus leading to the denaturation of protein.

Since, generally fever does not increase the body temperature above 41°C. Therefore, it doesn't lead to denaturation of protein.

Covalent bonds usually occur between atoms that have

marta [7]

Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.

Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.

For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.

In the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH ->Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, if 6 moles of FeCl2 are added to 6 moles of Na0H, how many moles of NaOH

pogonyaev

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of $FeCl_2$ = 6 moles

Given moles of $NaOH$ = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$FeCl_2+2NaOH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2+2NaCl$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with 2 moles of $NaOH$

So, 6 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{1}\times 6=12$ moles of $NaOH$

From this we conclude that, $FeCl_2$ is an excess reagent and $NaOH$ is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles

Determine the volume of water to be added to the nitric acid solution at a concentration of 8.61 mol / L to prepare 500 mL of th

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

398 mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for molarity,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where C₁ = concentration before adding water = 8.61 mol/L and V₁ = volume before adding water, C₂ = concentration after adding water = 1.75 mol/L and V₂ = volume after adding water = 500 mL = 0.5 L

V₂ = V₁ + V' where V' = volume of water added.

So, From C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ = C₂V₂/C₁

= 1.75 mol/L × 0.5 L ÷ 8.61 mol/L

= 0.875 mol/8.61 mol/L

= 0.102 L

So, V₂ = V₁ + V'

0.5 L = 0.102 L + V'

V' = 0.5 L - 0.102 L

= 0.398 L

= 398 mL

So, we need to add 398 mL of water to the nitric solution.
