Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase: Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.

Calculate the EMF between copper and silver Ag+e-E=0.89v<br>Cu=E=0.34v

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Depending on the $E^\circ$ value of $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ , the cell potential would be:

$0.55\; \rm V$ , using data from this particular question; or
approximately $0.46\; \rm V$ , using data from the CRC handbooks.

Explanation:

In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:

The conversion between $\rm Ag\; (s)$ and $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions, $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Ag\; (s)$ , and
The conversion between $\rm Cu\; (s)$ and $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions, $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ .

Note that the standard reduction potential of $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions to $\rm Ag\; (s)$ is higher than that of $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions to $\rm Cu\; (s)$ . Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions are reduced while $\rm Cu\; (s)$ is oxidized.

Therefore:

The reduction reaction at the cathode will be: $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ . The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is $E(\text{cathode}) = 0.89\; \rm V$ . According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately $0.79\; \rm V$ .

The oxidation at the anode will be: $\rm Cu\; (s) \to \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\, e^{-}$ . According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction ( $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ ) has an electrode potential of $0.34\; \rm V$ . When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore, $E(\text{anode}) = -0.34\; \rm V$ .

The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &= 0.89 \; \rm V + (-0.34\; \rm V) = 0.55\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &\approx 0.7996 \; \rm V + (-0.337\; \rm V) \approx 0.46\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Which best describes how Dalton's early theory of atomic structure differs with modern theories? He did not know -

Alja [10]

<span>John Dalton introduced a theory proposing that elements vary because of the mass of their atoms.
He said in his theory that all matter is made up of indivisible blocks called atoms. He also stipulated in his theory that elements are identical thus, have different sizes and masses.
Dalton's theory was different from Niels Bohr who proposed a new atomic model which was also commonly known as the modern atomic theory. Bohr's theory says that atoms are arranged in circular orbits around the nucleus. He patterned his model as the solar system.

What's the charge on Ni in the compound NiCi3? *

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chlorine is anion with a -1 charge. But they are three chlorine atoms.

-1 * 3 = -3

So they have a -3 charge.

So to balance the compound, the nickel has to be a cation with a +3 charge.

-3 + 3 = 0

Furthermore, a chemical bond always has a 0 charge. Remember that.

Hope it helped! Rate my answer a 5 star if correct.
