Answer: solvent

Explanation:

Solute is the component which is present in smaller proportion and is solid for solid in liquid solution. Example: sugar in sugar solution.

Solvent is the component which is present in larger proportion and is liquid for solid in liquid solution.Example: water in sugar solution.

Organic compounds are those compounds that contain carbon bonded to hydrogen.

Ionic compound is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element.

In contracting skeletal muscle, a sudden elevation of cytosolic Ca2 concentration will result in: Inactivation of phosphorylase

skad [1K]

Answer:

ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE AND ALLOSTERICALLY ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE B

Explanation:

In a contracting skeletal muscle, there is a rapid need of ATP by the muscle cell. The energy need is obtained by the degradation of glycogen into glucose which then enters glycolysis. Muscle contraction causes muscle depolarization in which there is the rapid influx of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sacroplasm of the myocytes. This in turn causes the binding of calcium ion with calmodulin which thenb activates phosphorylase kinase from which it allosterically activate the b form of the enzyme needed for the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other options do not occur as a result of increase in cytolic calcium concentration.

Write a structural formula for 1-pentanol, the alcohol derived from pentane, by making a substitution on one of the carbon atoms

DedPeter [7]

To yield an alcohol from an alkane, one reaction could be from alkyl halide through hydrolysis reaction. The alkyl halide should be pentyl chloride. When you add water to it, the OH⁻ ion will replace Cl to make 1-pentanol, while the Cl⁻ ion binds with H⁺ to form HCl. The main product is pentanol, while the by-product is HCl.

What is the total number of valence electrons in an atom of germanium in the ground state?

Shalnov [3]

The answer is (4) 4. Germanium is a main group element in group 4A. Therefore, like carbon, it has 4 valence electrons in the ground state.

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. Wha

Ainat [17]

We have that the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol)

$m=44.15g/mol$

From the question we are told

A solution made by mixing 20.0 g of a non-volatile compound with 125 mL of water at 25°C has a vapor pressure of 22.67 torr. What is the molecular weight (3sf) of the compound (g/mol).

Generally the equation for the Rouault's law is mathematically given as

P=P_0 N

$22.67=23.8*\frac{\frac{12.5}{18}}{\frac{125}{18}+\frac{15}{m}}\\\\\6.95+\frac{15}{m}=7.29\\\\\frac{15}{m}=7.29-6.95\\\\m=\frac{15}{0.34}\\\\m=44.11g/mol$
