The answer is A

The bacteria that cause disease are known as pathogens. The term pathogen is used to refer to all types of disease causing microorganisms. These include bacteria, fungi, protozoa and fungi.

Bacteria. Microscopic organisms that come in many shapes and sizes. Some bacteria that cause disease in man are Salmonella typhi which causes typhoid and Streptococcus pyogens which causes sore throat.

Virus. A virus is a microscopic entity much smaller than even bacteria and can only exist inside a host such as a cell. It cannot live on its own. Some viruses that cause disease are HIV which causes AIDS and Rhino virus which causes colds.

Fungi. These are a group of unicellular or multicellular microscopic organisms that live by feeding on organic matter. A type of fungus that causes disease is Trichophyton mentagrophyte which is responsible for athlete's foot.

Protozoa. A group of one celled organisms which live in water. Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoa, an amoeba which causes amoebic dysentery in man.

A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute hcl and a precipitate formed. the solution was filtered

likoan [24]

If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".

What is the molar concentration of chloride ions in a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ions in the final solution is 3 M.

Explanation:

The number of moles present in a solution can be calculated as follows:

number of moles = concentration in molarity * volume

In 100 ml of a 2 M KCl solution, there will be (0.1 l * 2mol/l) 0.2 mol Cl⁻

For every mol of CaCl₂, there are 2 moles of Cl⁻, then, the number of moles of Cl⁻ in 50 l of a 1.5 M solution will be:

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 * number of moles of CaCl₂

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 ( 50 l * 1.5 mol / l ) = 150 mol Cl⁻

The total number of moles of Cl⁻ present in the solution will be (150 mol + 0.2 mol ) 150.2 mol.

Assuming ideal behavior, the volume of the final solution will be ( 50 l + 0.1 l) 50.1 l. The molar concentration of chloride ions will be:

Concentration = number of moles of Cl⁻ / volume

Concentration = 150.2 mol / 50.1 l = 3.0 M

A volume measured by a graduated cylinder that was marked in 100 mL

Natali [406]

The volume measured using such a cylinder will be reported to the nearest 10th mL.

<h3>Cylinder graduation</h3>

10 mL graduated cylinders are always read to the nearest two decimal places.

100 mL graduated cylinders are always read to the nearest 1 decimal place. The nearest 1 decimal place is the same thing as the nearest 10th.

Thus, a reading made using a 100mL increment graduated cylinder would be reported to the nearest 10th mL.

Given the following heats of combustion. CH3OH(l) + 3/2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = -726.4 kJ C(graphite) + O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation:

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

$C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g),\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole$ ..[2]

$CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole$ ..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) ,\Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol$ ..[2]

$CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g) ,\Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole$ [3]

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole$

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

A critical reaction in the production of energy in biological systems is the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adeno

Archy [21]

Answer:

ΔG° of reaction = -47.3 x $10^{3}$ J/mol

Explanation:

As we can see, we have been a particular reaction and Energy values as well.

ΔG° of reaction = -30.5 kJ/mol

Temperature = 37°C.

And we have to calculat the ΔG° of reaction in the biological cell which contains ATP, ADP and HPO4-2:

The first step is to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:

Equilibrium Constant K = $\frac{[HPO4-2] x [ADP]}{ATP}$

And we have values given for these quantities in the biological cell:

[HP04-2] = 2.1 x $10^{-3}$ M

[ATP] = 1.2 x $10^{-2}$ M

[ADP] = 8.4 x $10^{-3}$ M

Let's plug in these values in the above equation for equilibrium constant:

K = $\frac{[2.1x10^{-3}] x [8.4x10^{-3}] }{[1.2 x 10^{-2}] }$

K = 1.47 x $10^{-3}$ M

Now, we have to calculate the ΔG° of reaction for the biological cell:

But first we have to convert the temperature in Kelvin scale.

Temp = 37°C

Temp = 37 + 273

Temp = 310 K

ΔG° of reaction = (-30.5 $10^{3}$ ) + (8.314)x (310K)xln(0.00147)

Where 8.314 = value of Gas Constant

ΔG° of reaction = (-30.5 x $10^{3}$ ) + (-16810.68)

ΔG° of reaction = -47.3 x $10^{3}$ J/mol
