A certain alkyl halide forms a carbocation that is more stable than the carbocation formed from isopropyl bromide. What is the m

Answer:

t-butyl bromide

Explanation:

As a general rule, carbocation stability depends on the number of substituents attached to central carbon. In isopropyl bromide, the carbocation formed is secondary carbocation, as Br group is the most likely to leave from isopropyl chain. The more stable carbocation would be one stablized by 3 carbon, or tertiary carbocation. The simplest of these would be t-butyl bromide which is carbon attached with 3 methyl groups

How many grams of Br2 are needed to completely convert 15.0 g Al to AlBr3 ?
wariber [46]

Answer:

133 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 Al(s) + 3 Br₂(l) ⇒ 2 AlBr₃(s)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 15.0 g of Al

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.98 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 15.0 g of Al are:

15.0g \times \frac{1mol}{26.98g} = 0.556mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Br₂ that react with 0.556 moles of Al

The molar ratio of Al to Br₂ is 2:3. The moles of bromine that react with 0.556 moles of aluminum are:

0.556molAl \times \frac{3molBr_2}{2molAl} = 0.834molBr_2

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.834 moles of Br₂

The molar mass of bromine is 159.81 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.834 moles of Br₂ is:

0.834mol \times \frac{159.81g}{mol} = 133 g

When a beta particle is released from a nucleus of an atom:
tatiyna
The correct answer is option B. i.e. the number of protons is increased.

In beta-particle emission, a neutron is changed into proton, electron and electron neutrino. The electron is emitted as beta particle and the proton remains inside the atom. Thus, the mass number remains same but the atomic number increases by one.

Calnexin and calreticulin catalyze the removal of the final glucose residue from glycoproteins during the folding process. True
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) False.

Glucosidase (not calnexin nor calreticulin) helps to remove glucose residue.

Both calnexin and calreticulin rather have an affinity for last glucose residue of misfolded protein (Only misfolded proteins are marked by glycosyltransferase by attaching glucose residue). They attach with misfolded protein and with the help of other proteins like ERp57 (a type of protein disulfide isomerase) and try to fold it properly. If protein is properly folded then glucosidase removes the glucose residue thereby releasing the properly folded protein from calnexin or calreticulin. and now protein is transported to the Golgi body. If folding is still not proper then the same cycle of glycosylation -binding of calnexin/calreticulin and effort to fold it properly is repeated.

B) True.

Transketolase is a key enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. It contains thiamine diphosphate (TPP) as a cofactor. it does transfer 2 carbon residue from a ketose to aldose. So, effectively it converts one ketose sugar to aldose with 2 carbonless and aldose to ketose with 2 carbon more.

C) True.

Theoretically, for the evolution of one molecule of oxygen, only 8 photons are required. But in practice, it is known that there are many variants like wavelength and the energy of the photon. The larger the wavelength, like the one which is used in PS1 (more than 700nM), the lesser the energy. Secondly, the energy of the photon is also wasted as heat energy. Because of these factors, more than 8 photons are needed in reality.

D) Wrong.

Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate is a key substrate and affects both the enzymes- phosphofructokinase and fructose bisphosphatase allosterically during gluconeogenesis. It strongly favors the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis by activating phosphofructokinase but it inhibits fructose bisphosphatase. Hence it activates the kinase enzyme while inhibiting the phosphatase and maintains a huge supply of glucose in the system.

E) Wrong.

The Calvin cycle shares similarity with the pentose phosphate pathway as both are involved in the synthesis of sugar (Triose and Ribose). However, it does not share similarity with enzymes of glycolysis (which is primarily focused on the breakdown of glucose) and gluconeogenesis.

Why does 4.03/0.0000035 = 1.2 x 106, instead of a different number of significant figures?
jasenka [17]

Explanations:- As per the significant figures rule, In multiplication and division, we go with least number of sig figs.

4.03 has three sig figs where as 0.0000035 has two sig figs only, The zeros in this number are not sig figs as they are just holding the place values. As the least number of sig figs here is two, the answer needs to be reported with two sig figs only.

\frac{4.03}{0.0000035}=1.2*10^6
