Answer:

Element X is Arsenic (As)

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table are either metals, non-metals or metalloids.
Metals are elements that react by losing electrons to obtain a stable configuration and form cation.
Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form a stable configuration and form anion.
Metalloids are elements in the periodic table that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
Examples of metalloids include Selenium, Arsenic, Boron, etc.
Arsenic is a metalloid in period 4 (four energy levels) with five valence electrons.

A deficiency in B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) would negatively impact which of the following pathways: 1. Metabolism of homocysteine

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.

Explanation:

The metabolism of homocysteine produces a sulfur amino acid that is normally formed from methionine during the fulfillment of its function as a donor of methyl groups. Metabolic fate such as remethylation and transsulfuration, involving the enzymatic forms of the vitamins folacin, B12, and B6, gives rise to homocysteine and mixed disulfides including so-called protein-linked homocysteine, the main form circulating in plasma. B6 deficiency would have a direct impact on the metabolism of homocysteine to cysteine.

A tank of gas is found to exert 8.6 atm at 38°C. What would be the required

Vesna [10]

Answer:

36.2 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 8.6 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T₁): 38°C

Final pressure of the gas (P₂): 1.0 atm (standard pressure)

Final temperature of the gas (T₂): ?

Step 2: Convert T₁ to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C +273.15

K = 38 °C +273.15 = 311 K

Step 3: Calculate T₂

We will use Gay Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

T₂ = P₂ × T₁/P₁

T₂ = 1.0 atm × 311 K/8.6 atm = 36.2 K

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

$Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ$

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.
