What is a harmful effect of electrical resistance?

While voltage does pose a threat, it's mostly the current that causes damage. There must be voltage available to motivate electrons to flow through a victim. Resistance to current causes (in the case of the victim being human or having flesh) burnt tissues, muscles freezes, and fibrillates hearts.

Answer:

Resistance resist the flow of current. This means that if 5V go through a resistance, it'll be reduce down to something below or equal to 5V.

If it gets reduce below 5V, lets say it goes down to 3V, the extra 2V must go somewhere. That 2V energy is converted to heat and dissipated through the resistor.

If there's a big current then the energy dissipated will be huge. And more negery = more heat which can cause fire and burn you.

Suppose that in the citric acid cycle, oxalacetate is labeled with 14C in the carboxyl carbon farthest from the keto group. Wher
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

All of alpha-ketoglutarate formed in the citric acid cycle would contain the radioactive ^{14}C while none of succinate would contain ^{14}C, and all of carbon dioxide released would contain ^{14}C.

Explanation:

When oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle is labeled with ^{14}C in carboxyl carbon atom which is farthest from keto group, alpha ketoglutarate formed from this oxaloactetate has the full radioactive label. In the next step, the carboxylic group (that contains the ^{14}C) is eliminated in the form of the release of the carbon dioxide and succinate is formed. Succinate thus will not have radioactivity. CO_2 released had all the radioactivity.

Why carbon monoxide is not acidic ​
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Well, carbon monoxide can be created from formic acid by adding sulphuric acid which will dehydrate said formic acid:

HCOOH

−

→

−

−

−

H

2

SO

4

CO+H

2

O

HCOOH→HX2SOX4CO+HX2O

Therefore, we can imagine the reverse reaction theoretically, which would make carbon monoxide an acidic oxide. However, the forward reaction does not proceed easily and it needs both the high acidity of sulphuric acid and its strong dehydrative properties to actually work. And your question mentions using hot, concentrated sodium hydroxide to make the reverse one work.

Most oxides that are classified as acidic or basic either have a very electrophilic central atom (e.g.  

CO

2

COX2

) which can be attacked by the weak nucleophile water (which in turn can then release an acidic proton), or they have a high charge density on the oxygen which allows it to abstract a proton from water directly. Carbon monoxide is neither. If you check out its molecular orbitals, you will notice that even though carbon is partially positive it has the largest HOMO contribution, meaning a proton would be more likely to attatch to the carbon side — which doesn’t want one at all. The LUMO is, luckily, also more carbon-centred, meaning nucleophilic attacks on carbon are possible. However, it is also degenerate due to the double bond so that an attack is not favoured.

Thus, the carbon monoxide molecule is one that won’t react with water at all and totally defies the concept of acidic/basic oxides.

Abbreviations:

HOMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the one with the highest energy that still contains electrons. It is usually the orbital that will attack nucleophilicly or that will be attacked electrophilicly.

LUMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the virtual (unoccupied) orbital that has the lowest energy. When considering a nucleophilic attack, the attacking electrons will usually interact with the LUMO. Electrophiles attack with other molecules’ HOMO with their LUMO.
