In January 1986, five astronauts and 2 other passengers were killed when the spacecraft shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after its launch. It delayed more space exploration for about 32 months, I think.

Need help on this question asap pleasee I would really appreciate it

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.

Calculate the volume of a 2.0 molar aqueous solution made from 14 miles of K2S

Vilka [71]

Answer:

volume is 7.0 liters

Explanation:

We are given;

Molarity of the aqueous solution as 2.0 M
Moles of the solute, K₂S as 14 moles

We are required to determine the volume of the solution;

We need to know that;

Molarity = Moles ÷ volume

Therefore;

Volume = Moles ÷ Molarity

Thus;

Volume of the solution = 14 moles ÷ 2.0 M

= 7.0 L

Hence, the volume of the molar solution is 7.0 L

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

$iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen$

The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.

The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

$10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g$

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

$10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\$

8.2 grams of oxygen reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit.

From above theory, statement A and B are correct.

Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.

Hence, Statement C is wrong.

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves. The statement D is correct.

Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. The statement E is also correct.
