Why is the endocrine system important?

1 answer:

8 0

The endocrine system is important to the function of the human body because, endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. Which lets the hormones travel to the cells in other parts of the body. This also helps control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism and reproduction.

A concentration cell is constructed by using the same half-reaction for both the cathode and anode. What is the value of standar

Akimi4 [234]

Solution :

A cell that is concentrated is constructed by the same half reaction for the anode as well as he cathode.

We know,

In a standard cell,

the reduction half cell reaction is :

$Ag^+(aq)+e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) E^0 = -0.80 \ V$

The oxidation half ell reaction :

$Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + e^- \ E^0= +0.80 \ V$

Thus the complete reaction of the cell is :

$Ag^+(aq)+ Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq)+Ag(s)$

$E^0$ cell = $E_R - E_L = 0.00 \ \text{volts}$

Which describes the products created from fission reactions? Question 3 options:

Ipatiy [6.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are a type of nuclear reactions in which larger nuclei breaks apart into two or more smaller fragment releasing alpha, gamma of beta particles.

There are 3 types of particles that can be released during this process:

1. Alpha particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes alpha-decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes beta-minus decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Gamma radiations: these radiations are released when an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a process of spontaneous electromagnetic process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$

Hence, any of these particles can be released during the process of fission reaction with smaller atoms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Rank the following from highest to lowest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system: -CH2CH3, -CHCH2, -CCH, -CH3.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The order will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Explanation:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system we rank the groups based on the atomic number of directly attached atom with the chiral carbon.

For example: between C and H, we rank Carbon first.

If the same atoms are attached for different groups then we prioritized based on the second element with highest atomic number.

For example:

Among CH₃ and C₂H₅, the priority will be given to C₂H₅.

If an atom is double or triple bonded to the directly attached atom then each pi bond is considered to be a new atom.

Hence CH=CH₂ means, that there are two carbons attached to CH carbon.

So the order based on above selection rules will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Why do you think the atomic number is basically represented by the number of protons and not the number of electrons?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. i think so, hope this helps you
