Answer:

CuFeS2

Explanation:

Calculate the moles of each substance by doing moles= mass/relative atomic mass. you should get 0.25 moles of copper and iron and 0.5 moles of sulfur. Then divide all of those numbers by 0.25 (as its the lowest value) you should get 1 for copper and iron and 2 for sulfur. This represents the ratio that they are in within the mineral.

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et

Alexxx [7]

Answer: The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For testosterone:

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol$

For diethyl ether:

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095$

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg$

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?

Nutka1998 [239]

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.

What happens to the rate of diffusion when pressure of gas is increased?

luda_lava [24]

In general, the diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to pressure. This is also an observed fact: gas production rates from coal seams tend to increase as the reservoir pressure goes down.
