What are the similarities between the adrenal hormone cortisone and the synthetic corticoid prednisone?
1 answer:
Answer:
Options a,b, c and d are correct
Explanation:
From the diagram attached in the picture below, They both have steroid nucleus since they have functional groups (such as the methyl and the ketone groups) that are spatially attached. It can also be deduced that both structures have three (3) ketone groups (CO/C=O), two (2) methyl groups (CH₃) and two (2) hydroxyl groups (OH). Hence, options a, b,c and d are correct.
However, cortisone has one (1) double bond while prednisone has two (2) double bonds.

Answer:
The solution's new volume is 1.68 L
Explanation:
Dilution is the procedure to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one, and simply consists of adding more solvent. So, in a dilution the amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent varies.
In summary, a dilution is a lower concentration solution than the original.
The way to do the calculations in a dilution is through the expression:
Ci*Vi=Cf*Vf
where C and V are concentration and volume, respectively; and the i and f subscripts indicate initial and final respectively.
In this case, being:
- Ci= 7 M
- Vi= 0.60 L
- Cf= 2.5 M
- Vf=?
Replacing:
7 M*0.60 L= 2.5 M* Vf
Solving:
Vf= 1.68 L
<u><em>The solution's new volume is 1.68 L</em></u>
Answer:
4.525% is the percentage by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture.
Explanation:
Total pressure of the mixture = p = 4.42 atm
Partial pressure of the oxygen =
Partial pressure of the helium =
(Dalton law of partial pressure)
According Avogadro law:
(At temperature and pressure)
Volume occupied by oxygen gas =
Total moles of gases = n = 1 mol
Total Volume of the gases = V
Percent by volume of oxygen in the gas mixture:
