Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.

A tank in the shape of a rectangular prism measures 10 dm by 4 dm by 6 dm. the tank is completely filled with 8908.8 l of liquid
nevsk [136]
1) The question contains an unknown unit


The number 8908.8 has to be in units of mass: for example, kg or grams.


Here you indicated L.


I am going to work assuming that L is a mass unit. So you can see the way to solve the problem, but you have to verifiy the real unit of the statement and substitute with it.



With that in mind you can find the density of the liquid from:


density  = mass / volume


2) Calculate the volume.


The volume of the liquid is the volume of the vessel, because it is filled.


The volume of the vessel is calculated from the formula of volume for a rectantular prism.


Volume of a rectangular prism = area of the base * height = side * side * height


=> Volume = 10 dm * 4 dm * 6 dm = 240 dm^3 = 240 liter


3) Calculate the density:


density = mass /volume = 8,908.8 L / 240 liter   =  37.12 L / dm^3



Answer: 37.12 L / dm^3

A 16.0 mL sample of a 1.04 M potassium sulfate solution is mixed with 14.3 mL of a 0.880 M barium nitrate solution and this prec
stiks02 [169]
Number of moles in the K2SO4 sample
= (16/1000)*1.04= 0.01664 mol

Number of moles in the Ba(NO3)2 sample
= (14.3/1000*0.880)= 0.01258 mol

Since the reaction is a 1:1 ratio between the two reactants, the limiting reagent is the one containing a smaller number of moles, namely Ba(NO3)2.

The molecular mass of BaSO4 is 137.3+(32.06+4*16.00)=233.4
Therefore the theoretical yield of Barium Sulphate is
233.4*0.01258=2.937 g
Actual yield = 2.60 g (given)
Therefore the percentage yield = 2.60/2.937=88.54%

Answer: 
1. the limiting reagent is Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2)
2. the theoretical yield is 2.94 g
3. the percentage yield is 88.5%

I apologize for the mistake previous to this update.

A solution is made by mixing of water and of acetic acid . Calculate the mole fraction of water in this solution. Be sure your a
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The answer is "0.35".

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Mass of CH_3C0_2 H= 77 \ g \\\\

Molar mass of CH_3C0_2 H = 60.05 \  \frac{g}{mol} \\\\

No of moles in n_{CH_3CO_2H} = 77 \ g \times  \frac{1 \ mol \ CH_3C0_2H}{60.05 \ g}  

                                          = 1.28 \ mol \ CH_3CO_2H

Mass of water (H_2O)= 42 \ g

The molar mass of water (H_2O)= 18.02 \  \frac{g}{mol}

moles of water n_{H_2O}:

= 42 \ g \times \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18.02 \ g} \\\\= 2.33 \ mol \ H_2 O

Molfraction of acetic acid:

X CH_2CO_2H = \frac{n_{CH_3CO_2H}}{n_CH_3CO_2H +n_{H_2}}\\\\

                     =\frac{1.28 \ mol}{1.28 \ mo1 + 2.33 mol}\\\\ = 0.354\\\\= 0.35
