Mad cow disease is caused by a prion. A prion is a malformed protein that is found in the brain tissue of infected cows, and exp

osure can be fatal. Meat that comes in contact with infected tissue becomes contaminated with the prion. Currently, there are no treatments for prion diseases because prions are hard to target and are too similar to normal proteins. To prevent the disease, scientists would most likely recommend that people avoid eating meat entirely. New medicines be developed to prevent infection. People avoid travel in countries where the disease is common. Meat handlers keep brain tissue from coming in contact with other meat.

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

  • Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Apply the law of mass conservation:

m_r=m_p

Substitute the given variables:

m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g

Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between (2S,3S)-3,5-dimethylhexan-2-ol and PCl3. Note the specific instructions
Vikki [24]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3,5-dimethylhexane

Explanation:

As first step we have the <u>attack of the OH group</u> to the P atom in the PCl3 and one of the Cl atoms would leave. Then we will have a <u>rearrangement</u> to produce a <u>double bond </u>with the oyxgen on the OH. Finally the Cl produced will a<u>ttack the carbon</u> in a <u>Sn2 substitution reaction</u> to produce the halide with an <u>opposite configuration</u>.

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.
