12. The Action of Phospholipases The venom of the Eastern diamondback rattler and the Indian cobra contains phospholipase A2, wh

ich catalyzes the hydrolysis of fatty acids at the C-2 position of glycerophospholipids. The phospholipid breakdown product of this reaction is lysolecithin (lecithin is phosphatidylcholine). At high concentrations, this and other lysophospholipids act as detergents, dissolving the membranes of erythrocytes and lysing the cells. Extensive hemolysis may be life- threatening. (a) All detergents are amphipathic. What are the hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions of lysolecithin

Answer:

Explanation:

Compounds derived from Phosphatidyl choline are referred to as Lysolecithins.  These compounds are  amphiphatic in nature and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.

Choline, glycerol, and phosphate represent the hydrophyilic portion of lysolecithins,while the fatty acid on C1 is hydrophobic in nature.

Glycerol, choline and phosphate act as a polar tail whereas the fatty acid acts as a long polar head which represents an amphipathic molecule like detergents.

If you start with 13 mole H2O and 50 grams of O2 what is the percent yield of H202 if 100 grams of H202 is actually made?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

94.1 %

Explanation:

We firstly determine the equation:

2H₂O + O₂ →  2H₂O₂

2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of oxygen peroxide.

We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:50 g . 1mol /32g = 1.56 mol

Certainly oxygen is the limiting reactant.

2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen.

13 moles of water may react to 13/2 = 6.5 moles. (And we only have 1.56)

As we determine the limiting reactant we continue to the products:

1 mol of O₂ can produce 2 moles of H₂O₂

Then 1.56 moles of O₂ will produce (1.56 . 2) = 3.125 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 3.125 mol . 34 g/mol= 106.25 g

That's the 100% yield or it can be called theoretical yield.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

(100g / 106.25 g) . 100 = 94.1 %

The rate constant for this first‑order reaction is 0.550 s−10.550 s−1 at 400 ∘C.400 ∘C. A⟶products A⟶products How long, in secon
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

t=2.08s

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for first order reactions, we can use the following integrated rate law:

ln(\frac{[A]}{[A]_0} )=kt

Thus, we compute the time as shown below:

t=-\frac{ln(\frac{[A]}{[A]_0} )}{k}=- \frac{ln(\frac{0.220M}{0.690M} )}{0.55s^{-1}} \\\\t=-\frac{-1.14}{0.550s^{-1}}\\ \\t=2.08s

Best regards.

What evidence did wegener use to create his theory of continental drift?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. Grooves and rock deposits left by ancient glaciers are found today on different continents very close to the equator.

Explain phase changes and the relationship between kinetic energy and intermolecular forces.
White raven [17]

Answer:

If we increase the temperature, the average kinetic energy increases, and that means the molecules are more likely to have enough kinetic energy to go into or stay in the gas phase. (Thus, they are called intermolecular forces, to separate them from the forces inside molecules that hold the molecules together.)

H+ ions increase in concentration at lower pH values. Calculate how many more H+ ions there are in a solution at a pH = 2 than i
joja [24]

The H⁺ ion concentration can be calculated from pH values using the following equation:

pH=-log[H⁺]

1.) Given pH = 2

Using the above equation, 2 = - log [H⁺]

Therefore, [H⁺] = 10⁻² mol/L

2.) Given pH = 6

Using the same equation, we have 6 = - log [H⁺]

Hence, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶ mol/L

3.) Taking the ratio of [H⁺] for pH = 2 and pH = 6, we have

\frac{10^{-2} }{10^{-6} } = 10⁴

So, there are 10,000 times more H⁺ ions in a solution of pH = 2 than that of pH = 6.
