Prions are proteins with the ability to generate more prions by causing other proteins to misfold into a similar shape. Since pr

ions are proteins, they have a genetic sequence associated with them and their ability to create more prions allows them to reproduce. Why aren’t prions considered alive?

They're not made up of cells, and they don't have any kind of metabolism. Because they lack genetic material and a cellular structure, prions are less often grouped in with living things than viruses. ... What is the case for viruses being alive?

The normal boiling point of iodomethane, CH3I, is 42.43 8C, and its vapor pressure at 0.00 8C is 140. Torr. Calculate (a) the st
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a=28600J; b=90.6 J/K; c=402 torr

Explanation:

(a) considering the data given

 Vapour pressure P1 =0  at Temperature T1 = 42.43˚C,

Vapour pressure P2 = 273.15 at Temperature T2= 315.58 K)

Using the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

ln (P2/P1) = (ΔH/R)(1/T2 - 1/T1)

In 760/140 = ΔH/8.314 J/mol/K  × (1/315.58K -- 1/273.15K)

ΔH vap= +28.6 kJ/mol or 28600J

(b) using the Equation ΔG°=ΔH° - TΔS to solve forΔS.

Since ΔG at boiling point is zero,

ΔS =(ΔH°vap/Τb)

 ΔS = 28600 J/315.58 K

= 90.6 J/K

(c) using ln (P2/P1) = (ΔH/R)(1/T2 - 1/T1)

ln P298 K/1 atm =  28600 J/8.314 J/mol/K × (1/298.15K - 1/315.58K)

P298 K = 0.529 atm

                = 402 torr

Name the compound mg3cl2 is it magnesium chloride?
Scilla [17]
No 
Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2 

The method I use to name ionic compounds is 'swap and drop' 

Mg oxidation number is +2 and Cl oxidation number is -1
Mg^2+         Cl^-1  
'swap'
Mg^1           Cl^2 
'drop' 
MgCl2

You are trying to determine how far from a victim a shot took place. What factor would most interfere with your analysis?
Likurg_2 [28]

I would think 2. The victim survived the incident because the victim would have moved or gotten up, which changes the distance between the victim and the gun.
