Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds

to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, preventing estrogen from binding to the enzyme. Once Tamoxifen binds to the protein, the protein is permanently deactivated. Which of the following descriptions best fits Tamoxifen? A. Tamoxifen is a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. B. Tamoxifen is an irreversible, noncompetitive inhibitor. . Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor. D. Tamoxifen is a reversible, competitive inhibitor. E. Tamoxifen is not an inhibitor.

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.

50.0 mL of an HNO^3 solution were titrated with 36.90 mL of a 0.100 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the
NISA [10]

Answer:

0.0738 M

Explanation:

HNO3 +LiOH = LiNO3 + H2O

Number of moles HNO3 = number of moles LiOH

M(HNO3)*V(HNO3) = M(LiOH)*M(LiOH)

M(HNO3)*50.0mL = 0.100M*36.90 mL

M(HNO3) = 0.100*36.90/50.0 M = 0.0738 M

The melting point of H₂O(s) is 0 °C. Would you expect the melting point of H₂S(s) to be 85 °C, 0 °C or -85 °C.? Justify your cho
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.
