Which of the following is a major difference between viruses and living things?

Chemistry
1 answer:
otez555 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A virus is acellular and is not necessarily considered a living organism. A bacterium has one cell and is considered a living organism. The next difference is in size. Bacteria can be 1000 nanometers long, whereas viruses can be 20-400 nanometers long. Viruses can infect bacteria as well.

Phosphate buffers are commonly used in biological research. If a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that
lozanna [386]

Answer:

A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.

Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.

For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:

KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄

Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert
nydimaria [60]

Answer : 50.69 mg of ascorbic acid does not meet the daily requirement.

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of Ascorbic acid = 176 g/mole

Moles of Ascorbic acid = 2.88\times 10^{-4}moles

Formula used :

Moles=\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}}

or, \text{ Mass of ascorbic acid}=\text{ Moles of ascorbic acid}\times \text{ Molar mass of ascorbic acid}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of ascorbic acid.

\text{ Mass of ascorbic acid}=(2.88\times 10^{-4}moles)\times (176g/mole)=0.050688g=50.69mg

Conversion : (1g=1000mg)

As per question, a healthy adult’s daily requirement of vitamin C is 70-90 mg. But calculate mass of vitamin C is 50.69 mg. So, 50.69 mg of ascorbic acid does not meet the daily requirement.

When the stabilized state of an equilibrium system is altered, further chemical reactions begin until a new equilibrium is reach
Nezavi [6.7K]
The answer is a. True. This is also known as the Le Chatelier's principle or The Equilibrium Law which states that if a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and then experiences changes in the condition of the reaction such as changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature of products or reactants, the system will naturally shift to achieve a new equilibrium state.
