How is nitric oxide different from other signal molecules?

2 answers:

6 0

The highly reactive free radical gas, nitric oxide, serves a variety of biomodulatory functions and has been implicated in a growing array of physiological and pathophysiological states. The striking differences between this labile substance and other, more conventional, signaling molecules highlight the tight degree of nitric oxide regulation that is required in order to maintain appropriate cellular homeostasis. The generation of nitric oxide represents a common component of the signal transduction pathways of a number of chemical signaling molecules that act via binding to G protein-coupled receptors. This review focuses on the relationship between this receptor superfamily, the generation of nitric oxide via the actions of the nitric oxide synthases and some of the inter- and intracellular roles of nitric oxide.

Increase, because you need heat to melt a solid to a liquid, so the temperature will have to get greater.

Be sure to answer all parts. Dimercaprol (HSCH2CHSHCH2OH) was developed during World War I as an antidote to arsenic-based poiso

Sauron [17]

Answer:

For A: The number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B: The percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

Explanation:

For A:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of dimercaprol = 696 mg = 0.696 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of dimercaprol}=\frac{0.696g}{124.21g/mol}=0.0056mol$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.0056 moles of dimercaprol will contain $0.0056\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 atom of Arsenic

So, $3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of dimercaprol molecules will bind with = $1\times 3.4\times 10^{21}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of arsenic atoms

Hence, the number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B:

We know that:

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Molar mass of mercury = 200.59 g/mol

Molar mass of thallium = 204.38 g/mol

Molar mass of chromium = 51.99 g/mol

Also, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 metal atom.

To calculate the percentage composition of metal in a complex, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal}}{\text{Mass of complex}}\times 100$ ......(1)

For mercury:

Mass of Hg-complex = (200.59 + 124.21) = 324.8 g

Mass of mercury = 200.59 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of mercury}=\frac{200.59g}{324.8g}\times 100=61.76\%$

For thallium:

Mass of Tl-complex = (204.38 + 124.21) = 328.59 g

Mass of thallium = 204.38 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of thallium}=\frac{204.38g}{328.59g}\times 100=62.2\%$

For chromium:

Mass of Cr-complex = (51.99 + 124.21) = 176.2 g

Mass of chromium = 51.99 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of chromium}=\frac{51.99g}{176.2g}\times 100=29.51\%$

Hence, the percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.
