<span>Agre tested his hypothesis in a simple experiment where he compared cells which contained the protein in question with cells which did not have it. The trials were ran with artificial cells, liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble. He found that the liposomes became permeable if the protein was planted inside of the membrane.</span>

How do the interactions that are broken in water when it is boiled compare with those broken when water is electrolyzed? Boiling
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Boiling water breaks intermolecular attractions and electrolysis breaks covalent bonds.

Explanation:

When water boils, hydrogen bonds are broken between adjacent water molecules. The hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms of water molecules.  

During electrolysis, water dissociates in the presence of electric current. Here, ions are formed in the process. Therefore, covalent bonds are broken here.

Explain why the lattice energy of CaSe is approximately 4 times as large as that of KBr. Check all that apply. Check all that ap
Elza [17]

Answer:

According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.

This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

             70.15 cm³

Solution:

Data Given;

                  Mass  =  55 g

                  Density  =  0.784 g.cm⁻³

Required:

                  Volume  =  ?

Formula Used:

                  Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                  Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density

Putting values,

                  Volume  =  55 g ÷ 0.784 g.cm⁻³

                  Volume = 70.15 cm³

If the half-life of a radioactive substances is 590 million years and you have 40 atoms of it, how many half-lives will have pas
Nady [450]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Applying,

2^{n'} = R/R'............... Equation 1

Where n' = number of halflives that have passed, R = Original atom of the substance, R' = atom of the substance left after decay.

From the question,

Given: R = 40 atoms, R' = 5 atoms

Substitute these values into equation 1

2^{n'} = 40/5

2^{n'} = 8

2^{n'} = 2³

Equation the base,

n' = 3
