Answer:

Carbohydrates are the biological molecules having a general emperical formula $C_{m} (H_{2} O)_{n}$ .

There are various important biological functions of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates serve as structural components, component of coenzymes, and backbone of RNA. Carbohydrates provide and store energy, and also plays important role in blood clotting, development, immune system, and preventing pathogenesis.

How much pressure does an elephant with a mass of 2200 Kg and a total footprint area of 4500 cm2 exert on the ground?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.

Based on the position of the elements in the periodic table, what is the charge of the ions they are most likely to form?

Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

The charge on an ion denotes the amount of electrons lost or gained or even shared by an atom.

An atom will lose, gain or share an equal amount of electrons that will make it stable and achieve an octet and perfect configuration.

This is often synonymous with the component number of electrons in their outermost shell. The valence shell.

For metals on the periodic table, they are always willing to give up electrons due to their large electropositivity.

Metals will give up the number of electrons in their outermost shell to become stable.

Groups 1 and Group 2 will have charges +1 and +2 on them.

For non-metals , they will gain the exact number of electrons that will make them stable. We must note that half -filled and fully filled orbitals are equally stable.

Elements in groups 6 and 7 are electronegative and will have a charge of -2 and -1 respectively.

For those in groups 3, 4 and 5 they either gain, lose or share commensurate amount of electrons that will make them stable.

Group 8 elements are stable and have no charges.

Generally on the periodic table, metals are to the left and are always positively charged. Non - metals are to the right and are negatively charged.

During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a ∆G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amoun

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value

Answer:

Missing component

Cl₂

H₂O

Explanation:

Reaction given:

? + 2NaBr → 2NaCl+Br

Mg+? → MgO+H2

missing component = ?

Solution:

Reaction 1

? + 2NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

if we look at the reactants and products there is one element is in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Cl (Chlorine)

Br (Bromine)

In Reactant there are following atoms

Na (Sodium)

Br (Bromine)

So only Chlorine is missing in the reactant side.

if we put chlorine in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Cl + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br

So chlorine react with water and give sodium chloride and bromine molecule, this is a single displacement reaction and chlorine replace bromine in the above reaction

Now balance the equation

Cl₂ + 2 NaBr -----→ 2NaCl + Br₂

So, the missing component is

Cl₂

____________

Reaction 2

Mg + ? ---------→ MgO + H₂

if we look at the reactants and products there are two element in product side but not shown in the reactant side.

In products there are following atoms

Mg (Magnesium)

O (Oxygen)

H (Hydrogen)

In Reactant there is only one following atom

Mg (Magnesium)

So Oxygen and Hydrogen is missing in the reactant side.

if we put water molecule (H₂O) in the reactant then this reaction will be complete

Mg + H₂O ---------→ MgO + H₂

in this reaction magnesium (Mg) react with water (H₂O) and give magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.

So, the missing component is

H₂O
