Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.

How many moles of hcl are required to make 500 ml of a 3.0 mol/l solution of hcl?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

1.5 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles of HCl in 500 mL of a 3 M solution of HCl, we consider moles in 1 liter/ 1000 mL.

3 moles HCl is contained in 1000 mL

x moles is HCl is contained in 500 mL

=  \frac{3 \:  \times  \: 500}{1000}  \: moles \\  = 1.5 \: moles

Hence the number of moles of HCl in 500 mL is 1.5 moles.
