Explanation:

When a chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond.

A covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

As a result, it needs one more electron to complete its octet. So, when it chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there will occur sharing of electrons.

Hence, $Cl_{2}$ is formed which is a covalent compound.

On the other hand, when a chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that in a chlorine gas covalent bonding is present when two chlorine atoms share an electron.

A molecular biologist measures the mass of cofactor a in an average yeast cell. the mass is 41.5 pg . what is the total mass in

Hitman42 [59]

The unit pg stands for pictogram. It is one-trillionth of a gram. Because of the very small mass, it is expressed in the prefix form of the base units for convenience. Now, the mass of cofactor a is 41.5 pg per cell. Since there are a total of 105 cells, the total mass would be:

Total mass = 105 cells * 41.5 pg/cell = 4,357.5 pg

1/2-life of pyruvic acid in the presence of aminotransferase enzyme (which converts it to alanine) was found to be 221 s. how lo

Ugo [173]

Answer:

After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.

Explanation:

The first order kinetics reaction is:

ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt

<em>Where [A] is concentration after t time, [A]₀ is intial concentration and k is reaction constant.</em>

To convert half-life to k you must use:

t(1/2) = ln 2 / K

221s = ln 2 / K

K = ln 2 / 221s

If [A] = 1/64, [A]₀ = 1:

ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt

ln (1/64) = ln 1 - 3.1364x10⁻³t

4.1588 = 3.1364x10⁻³s⁻¹t

1326s = t

<h3>After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.</h3>
