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?

If a molecule has an empirical formula of C2H2O and a molecular mass of 84.0 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?
lord [1]

Answer:

=C₄H₄O₂

Explanation:

Given the empirical formula of a molecule, the he the quotient of the molecular mas and and the empirical mass=constant.

84.0 g/mol/mass of(C₂H₂O)=constant

=84/(12×2+1×2×16)

=84/42

=2

Therefore, the molecular formula is (C₂H₂O)₂=C₄H₄O₂

Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of a 0.2 M solution of weak acid that is 0.1% ionized is ________.
mars1129 [50]

Answer: acid dissociation constant Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Explanation:

For the reaction

HA + H20. ----> H3O+ A-

Initially: C. 0. 0

After : C-Cx. Cx. Cx

Ka= [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Ka= Cx × Cx/C-Cx

Ka= C²X²/C(1-x)

Ka= Cx²/1-x

Where x is degree of dissociation = 0.1% = 0.001 and c is the concentration =0.2

Ka= 0.2(0.001²)/(1-0.001)

Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Therefore the dissociation constant is

2.00×10^-7

These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements. Element 1 at left has a purple circle at center wi
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Element 2

Explanation:

If we look at the model stated for element 1, it is clear that element 1 must be a noble gas. It has eight electrons in its outermost shell this implies that it has already attained a complete octet of electrons and is reluctant towards chemical reaction.

The second element belongs to group 16 since it has six electrons on its outermost shell. It is certainly more reactive than element 1 which is a noble gas.
