The average density of a carbon-fiber-epoxy composite is 1.615 g/cm3. the density of the epoxy resin is 1.21 g/cm3 and that of t

he carbon fibers is 1.74 g/cm3. (a) what is the volume percentage of carbon fibers in the composite? (b) what are the weight percentages of epoxy resin and carbon fibers in the composite?

The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.

Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³ 
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³ 

a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins

Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>

b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
     Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>

Two proteins interact to form a multimeric complex. When one of the proteins is mutated, there is a substantial loss of function
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

<h2>4. dominant negative</h2>

Explanation:

Mutation is the process in which sudden changes take place within the sequence of amino acids that causes different type of problems. On the basis of nature and conditions mutation can be classified as dominant negative, neomorphic and some others types. Dominant mutation is also called as antimorphic mutation and changes the functions of the  molecules that are proteins.

When water is solid, do molecules move?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Ice is water in its solid form. Ice keeps its shape, even if it's removed from the container. The molecules in ice are locked into place and cannot move or slide past one another, but they do vibrate a little bit.

Explanation:

As the temperature drops or decreases, the water molecules gradually slow down. Eventually they stop moving and simply vibrate back and forth. At this point ice is formed, the solid phase of water. If the temperature is allowed to increase, the molecules will once again begin to vibrate faster and faster.
