Answer:

b. an intermediate in the urea cycle

Explanation:

<u>Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid which is produced as intermediate molecule in urea cycle. </u>

Ornithine also plays important role in regulation of several metabolic processes which leads to diseases like hyperammonemia, hyperorithinemia and cancer in the body of humans.

Role in the urea cycle:

<u>Ornithine is a products of action of enzyme arginase on l-arginine which is responsible for the formation of urea. Thus, ornithine is a central part of the urea cycle and allows for disposal of the excess amount of nitrogen. </u>

1. The most useful ore of aluminum is bauxite, in which Al is present as hydrated oxides, Al2O3⋅xH2O The number of kilowatt-hour
lianna [129]

*Answer:

Option A: 59.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 4.00 kg

The applied emf = 5.00 V

watts = volts * amperes

Step 2: Calculate amperes

equivalent mass of aluminum = 27 / 3 = 9  

mass of deposit = (equivalent mass x amperes x seconds) / 96500

4000 grams = (9* amperes * seconds) / 96500

amperes * seconds = 42888888.9

1 hour = 3600 seconds

amperes * hours = 42888888.9 / 3600 = 11913.6

amperes = 11913.6 / hours

Step 3: Calculate kilowatts

watts = 5 * 11913.6 / hours

watts = 59568 (per hour)

kilowatts = 59.6 (per hour)

The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity required to produce 4.00kg of aluminum from electrolysis of compounds from bauxite is 59.6 kWh when the applied emf is 5.00V

Two of the substances in part 1 are ionic. which factors will result in a stronger ionic bond overall?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Greater absolute charge 
- This is because ionic bond results from stronger electrostatic forces of attraction.
- The higher the value of charges q₁ and q₂ the stronger will be the ionic bond.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
