Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su

bstance X?
All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

Each particle carries a charge that is slightly different from the other particles.

Half of the particles carry a positive charge; the other half carry a negative charge.

All the particles are uncharged, or electrically neutral.

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

. A protein has molecular mass of 400 kDa when measured by size exclusion chromatography. When subjected to gel electrophoresis
8090 [49]

Answer:

The protein has 4 subunits: 2 subunits of 90 kDa, 1 subunit of 160 kDa and 1 subunit of 60 kDa

Explanation:

In gel electrophoresis, the SDS agent produces denaturation of the protein and confers negative charge, so the protein subunits can migrate according to their masses. It produces dissociation of the protein in its subunits but it cannot disrupt disulphyde bridges (S-S) that can bond subunits together.

From the data, with SDS we observe 3 bands ⇒ 180 kDa + 160 kDa + 60 kDa

The addition of dithiotreitol (DTT), a reducing agent, produces the disruption of disulphyde bridges. From the data:

With DTT ⇒ 160 kDa + 90 kDa + 60 kDa

We observe that 160 kDa and 60 kDa subunits are conserved (they are the same as with SDS only), but 180 kDa subunit is missing and in its place appears a band of 90 kDa - a half 180 kDa.

So, the band at 180 kDa is composed by two subunits bonded by a disulphyde bridge.

Therefore, the composition of the protein is: <em>1 subunit of 160 kDa, 2 subunits of 90 kDa and 1 subunit of 60 kDa</em>.

What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.

State the physical property that makes it possible to separate a solution by distillation. Explain.
KengaRu [80]

Distillation is by definition separation by boiling point. Basically things that have lower boiling points will boil before things that have higher boiling points. so if you go into the temperature range between the two boiling points, one will boil and vaporize and one will remain a liquid (maybe solid).

What Element am I?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Nitrogen has 5 Valence Electrons.

And its atomic mass is also less than Bismuth.

There are other elements in the 5th row but this one has the lowest atomic mass compared to the others.

In a heat engine, 500 J of heat enters the system, and the piston does 300 J of work. What is the final internal (thermal) energ
mylen [45]

Answer:

200J

Explanation:

This is because 500J - 300J = 200J

I hope this helps!!!
