Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Cloud [144]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.

While a certain isotope decays, it emits photons. What kind of decay is happening?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for humans so care not to get caught in them.

If 21.00 mL of a 0.68 M solution of C6H5NH2 required 6.60 mL of the strong acid to completely neutralize the solution, what was
Andru [333]

Answer:

pH = 2.46

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this neutralization reaction may be assumed to occur in a 1:1 mole ratio between the base and the strong acid, it is possible to write the following moles and volume-concentrations relationship for the equivalence point:

n_{acid}=n_{base}=n_{salt}

Whereas the moles of the salt are computed as shown below:

n_{salt}=0.021L*0.68mol/L=0.01428mol

So we can divide those moles by the total volume (0.021L+0.0066L=0.0276L) to obtain the concentration of the final salt:

[salt]=0.01428mol/0.0276L=0.517M

Now, we need to keep in mind that this is an acidic salt since the base is weak and the acid strong, so the determinant ionization is:

C_6H_5NH_3^++H_2O\rightleftharpoons  C_6H_5NH_2+H_3O^+

Whose equilibrium expression is:

Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5NH_2][H_3O^+]}{C_6H_5NH_3^+}

Now, since the Kb of C6H5NH2 is 4.3 x 10^-10, its Ka is 2.326x10^-5 (Kw/Kb), we can also write:

2.326x10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{0.517M}

Whereas x is:

x=\sqrt{0.517*2.326x10^{-5}}\\\\x=3.47x10^-3

Which also equals the concentration of hydrogen ions; therefore, the pH at the equivalence point is:

pH=-log(3.47x10^{-3})\\\\pH=2.46

Regards!
