When solid Ni metal is put into an aqueous solution of Sn(NO3)2, solid Sn metal and a solution of Ni(NO3)2 result. Write the net
Monica [59]

Answer:

Ni + Sn^2+ —> Sn + Ni^2+

Explanation:

First let us generate an elemental equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Ni + Sn(NO3)2 —> Sn + Ni(NO3)2

From the equation above, a solid metal Sn is formed.

Now we can generate a net ionic equation as follows:

Ni + Sn^2+ —> Sn + Ni^2+

a gas has a volume of 2.00 at 323k and 3.00 ATM What would be the new volume if the temperature is changed to 273 K in the press
Ber [7]

Answer:

V_2 = 5.07L

Explanation:

\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1 T_2}{T_1 P_2} = \frac{3.00atm \cdot 2.00L \cdot 273K}{323K \cdot 1.00atm} = 5.07L

6. Lysozyme is an enzyme that hydrolyzes sugar linkages in the bacterial cell wall and was first discovered by Alexander Fleming
balu736 [363]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The Cys3-cys97 and cys21-cys142 disulfides restrict the unfolded state of lysozyme enzyme to a class of more compact structures with a less exposed hydrophobic surface, compared to the unfolded states of reduced/non-crosslinked lysozyme. there are 2 major factors which lead to the stabilization of lysozyme due to disulfide bonds-

1- increase in the loop size due to the formation of disulfide bonds that leads to an increase in the even entropic effect.

2- the region formed should be flexible. the strain energy due to the formation of the disulfide bond is lower.

cys21-cys142 has a higher Tm than the cys3-cys97 because it involves flexible parts of the molecule. 21 and 142 residues are located on opposite sides of the active-site cleft where significant hinge-bending motion is seen. this introduces minimal strain in the protein.

2Na3N3 -&gt; 2Na + 3N2<br><br> if 0.58 mol if NaN3 reacts, what mass of nitrogen would result
Ronch [10]

Answer:

                      Mass = 24.36 g of N₂

Explanation:

                   The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of NaNO₃ is as follow;

                                           2 NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

Step 1: Find moles of N₂ as;

According to equation,

                 2 moles of NaNO₃ produces  =  3 moles of N₂

So,

              0.58 moles of NaNO₃ will produce  =  X moles of N₂

Solving for X,

                      X = 3 mol × 0.58 mol / 2 mol

                      X = 0.87 mol of N₂

Step 2: Calculate mass of N₂ as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.87 mol × 28.01 g/mol

Mass = 24.36 g of N₂
