Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Mercury is occurs in earth crust but its mining ,combustion of fossil fuel and extraction had led to spreading of mercury pollution not only on lands but in air and water bodies also.  

Mercury settled on land get washed way into water bodies which further gets introduced in life process of living beings in the water and eventually effecting the whole food chain or web.

Hence, from the the given options the correct option is (D).

What is the maximum number of grams of PH3 that can be formed when 6.2 g of phosphorus reacts with 4.0 g of hydrogen to form PH3
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

6.79 g of phosphine can be produced

Explanation:

The reaction is this:

3H₂ + 2P → 2PH₃

We have the mass of the two reactants, so let's find out the limiting reactant, so we can work with the equation. Firstly, we convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

6.2 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.200 moles of P

4g / 2 g/mol = 2 moles of H₂

Ratio is 3:2.

3 moles of hydrogen react with 2 moles of P

Then, 2 moles of H₂ would react with (2 . 2)/ 3 = 1.3 moles of P.

We have only 0.2 moles of P, so clearly the phosphorous is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:2. So 2 moles of P can produce 2 moles of phosphine. Therefore, 0.2 moles of P must produce the same amount of phosphine.

Let's convert the moles to mass ( mol . molar mass)

0.2 mol . 33.97 g/mol = 6.79 g

A purified protein has a molecular mass of 360 kDa when measured by size exclusion chromatography. When analyzed by gel electrop
Dimas [21]

Answer:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

Explanation:

Given that:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

As a result of SDS and dithiothreitol analysis treatment, the molecular masses can not be 360 in total. They are 280, which implies that they are in short of 80 kDa. This means that there are possibilities that two groups with a molecular mass of 80 kDa which are joined by a disulfide bond.

The presence of SDS and dithiothreitol acts as a reducing agent, and they can break disulfide bonds whose pH is greater than 7, i.e. those in basic condition.

A sample of CH4 is confined in a water manometer. The temperature of the system is 30.0 °C and the atmospheric pressure is 98.70
kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

  P_{atm} = 98.70 kPa = 98700 Pa,  

      T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

      height (h) = 30 mm = 0.03 m (as 1 m = 100 mm)

Density = 13.534 g/mL = 13.534 g/mL \times \frac{10^{6}cm^{3}}{1 m^{3}} \times \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}

                = 13534 kg/m^{3}

The relation between pressure and atmospheric pressure is as follows.

             P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

               = 98700 Pa + 13534 \times 9.81 \times 0.03 m

               = 102683.05 Pa

               = 102.68 kPa

thus, we can conclude that the pressure of the given methane gas is 102.68 kPa.
