Explanation:

<u>Role of Collagen-</u>

It is the most abundant protein in human body. This protein, collagen is found in the bones, skin, muscles, and tendons.

Collagen holds the body together and forms scaffold in order to provide the strength and structure to the human body.

The main role of this protein is to protect and support the bones and also acts as insulation and helps in transportation.

Compute the values of the diffusion coefficients for the interdiffusion of carbon in both α-iron (BCC) and γ-iron (FCC) at 900°C

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

α-iron (BCC) has faster diffusion rate because of lower values in activation energy and pre-exponential value.

Explanation:

Taking each parameters or data at a time, we can determine the values/a constant for each parameters in the diffusion coefficient equation.

For α-iron (BCC), the diffusion coefficient = pre-exponential value,Ao × e^( -Activation energy,AE)/gas constant,R × Temperature.

Converting the given Temperature, that is 900°C to Kelvin which is equals to 1173.15K.

For α-iron (BCC), the pre-exponential value, Ao = 1.1 × 10^-6, and the activation energy, AE = 87400.

Thus, we have that the diffusion coefficient = 1.1 × 10^-6 × e(-87400)/1173.15 × 8.31.

Diffusion coefficient for α-iron (BCC) = 1.41 × 10^-10 m^2/s.

Also, For the γ-iron (FCC), the pre-exponential value, Ao = 2.3 × 10^-5 and the activation energy, AE = 148,00.

From these values we can see that both the exponential value, Ao and the activation energy for γ-iron (FCC) are higher than that of α-iron (BCC).

Thus, the diffusion coefficient for the γ-iron (FCC) = 2.3 × 10^-5 × e ^-(14800)/8.31 × 1173.15.

Then, the diffusion coefficient for the γ-iron (FCC) = 5.87 × 10^-12 m2/s.

Therefore, there will be faster diffusion in α-iron (BCC) because of lower activation energy and vice versa.

A reaction was performed in which 4.0 g of cyclohexanol was reacted with an acid catalyst to obtain 2.8 g of cyclohexene. calcul

ioda

Answer:

%age Yield = 85.36 %

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,

C₆H₁₂O + Acid Catalyst → C₆H₁₀ + Acid Catalyst + H₂O

According to Equation ,

100 g (1 mole) C₆H₁₂O produces = 82 g (1 moles) of C₆H₁₀

So,

4.0 g of C₆H₁₂O will produce = X g of C₆H₁₀

Solving for X,

X = (4.0 g × 82 g) ÷ 100 g

X = 3.28 g of C₆H₁₀ (Theoretical Yield)

As we know,

%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

%age Yield = (2.8 g ÷ 3.28 g) × 100

%age Yield = 85.36 %

Methanol can be produced by the following reaction: CO(g) 2 H2(g) CH3OH(g). How is the rate of disappearance of hydrogen gas rel

belka [17]

Answer:

$r_{H_2}=-2r_{CH_3OH}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the reaction:

$CO(g)+ 2 H_2(g) \rightarrow CH_3OH(g)$

In such a way, via the rate proportions, that is written considering the stoichiometric coefficients, we obtain:

$\frac{1}{-1} r_{CO}=\frac{1}{-2} r_{H_2}=\frac{1}{1} r_{CH_3OH}$

Whereas the reactants, CO and H2 have negative stoichiometric coefficients; therefore the rate of disappearance of hydrogen gas is related to the rate of appearance of methanol as shown below:

$\frac{1}{-2} r_{H_2}=\frac{1}{1} r_{CH_3OH}\\\\r_{H_2}=\frac{-2}{1} r_{CH_3OH}\\\\r_{H_2}=-2r_{CH_3OH}$

Which means that the rate of disappearance of hydrogen gas is negative and the rate of appearance of methanol is positive.

Regards!
