Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

               PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

     Pressure, P = 1500 psia,     Temperature, T = 104^{o}F = 104 + 460 = 564 R

     Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft,      R = 10.73 psia ft^{3}/lb mol R

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

                n = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

            m = n \times W

                = 0.594 \times 16.04

                = 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

  • We will calculate the density as follows.

                d = \frac{PM}{RT}

                    = \frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}

                    = 3.975 lb/ft^{3}

  • Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

  Specific gravity relative to air = \frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}

                         = \frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}

                         = 51.96

A chemist sets up a chemical reaction but finds that none of the reactant molecules have a required activation energy. What is t
Anvisha [2.4K]

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that the colliding reactant molecules must possess for the formation of products. Lower the activation energy, higher will be chance of formation of products. So activation energy is the minimum energy requirement that has to overcome for the reaction to be completed. Therefore, when in a chemical reaction the reactant molecules do not collide with required activation energy, the collisions will not be fruitful even if they are properly oriented which means that the products will not form.

Hence the correct answer will be B.) no products will be formed

What mass of mgo is produced from 2.00 moles of mg ? Mg +02 mgo
Vanyuwa [196]
Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.

Hemoglobin (Hb) can be viewed as having two quaternary states, a low oxygen affinity state (T), and a high oxygen affinity state
natta225 [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The statements that are True are;

  • Upon binding a molecule of oxygen, Hb undergoes a conformational change that makes the binding of subsequent O2 molecules easier.
  • The conformational change induced in Hb upon binding oxygen is the result of a small movement (0.2 Å) of the iron cation in the center of heme.
  • Site-directed mutagenesis studies have indicated that the cooperativity of O2 binding in Hb is attributable to the movement of the F helix in Hb.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Hemoglobin is a key pigment in the blood that transports oxygen gas to all the tissues in the body. It is made up of two types of chains; that is two alpha chains and two beta chains.  
  • in its deoxygenated state hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin. When oxygen is bound to the first subunit of hemoglobin it leads to subtle changes to the quaternary structure of the protein. This in turn makes it easier for a subsequent molecule of oxygen to bind to the next subunit.

The total volume required to reach the endpoint of a titration required more than the 50 mL total volume of the buret. An initia
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The endpoint volume is 50.52 ±  0.14 mL

Explanation:

In a titration always is necessary to subtract the blank volume to the titrant volume to obtain the real volume of the titrant. Thus in this case, the total endpoint volume is the sum of the initial volume delivered and the second volume delivered, minus the blank volume:

V = (49.16±0.06 mL) + (1.69±0.04 mL) - (0.33±0.04 mL)

V = (49.16 + 1.69 - 0.33) ± (0.06+0.04+0.04) mL

V = 50.52 ±  0.14 mL

It is necessary to consider the sum of the errors too.
