<span>An acid </span>turns blue litmus paper to red. The answer is letter B.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Quaternary structure of proteins is composed of two or more polypeptide chains. Insulin has two; one alpha and one beta chain. The two chains are joined together by disulfide bonds at two points (at cysteines). Other examples of quaternary proteins structures are DNA polymerase and hemoglobin.
Answer:
900 K
Explanation:
Recall the ideal gas law:
Because only pressure and temperature is changing, we can rearrange the equation as follows:
The right-hand side stays constant. Therefore:
The can explodes at a pressure of 90 atm. The current temperature and pressure is 300 K and 30 atm, respectively.
Substitute and solve for <em>T</em>₂:
Hence, the temperature must be reach 900 K.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.
We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.
The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.
To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:
- The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to the charge on the ion.
For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻
This would be: 2x + 7(-2) = -2
x = +6
We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.
Continuous spectrum and line spectrum are two types of spectra; their main difference is that continuous spectrum contains no gaps whereas line spectrum contains many gaps.
