Which specific characteristic must a signaling molecule have in order to bind to a cytosolic or nuclear receptor?

In bullet points: explain the difference between thermal energy, heat and temperature.

sergeinik [125]

Thermal Energy- is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.

Heat-energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects.

Temperature- is a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, which is a type of energy associated with motion.

Which of the following processes will determine the number of moles in a sample? Dividing the mass of the sample by Avogadro's n

Olenka [21]

The answer is: Dividing the number of molecules in the sample by Avogadro's number.

The Avogadro’s number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12 (¹²C).

Na is Avogadro number or Avogadro constant (the number of particles, in this example carbon, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole).

The Avogadro number has value 6.022·10²³ 1/mol in the International System of Units; Na = 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

For example:

N(Ba) = 2.62·10²³; number of atoms of barium.

n(Ba) = N(Ba) ÷ Na.

n(Ba) = 1.3·10²⁴ ÷ 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

n(Ba) = 2.158 mol; amount of substance of barium.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of Na₂S and CdSO₄. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the ph

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction equation that contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is known as a balanced chemical reaction equation.

For example, $Na_{2}S(aq) + CdSO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + CdS(s)$

Here, number of reactant molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

Number of product molecules are as follows.

Na = 2

S = 2

Cd = 1

O = 4

As there are already equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Also, in this reaction both $Na_{2}S$ and $CdSO_{4}$ are present as aqueous solution. And, CdS is the precipitate that is formed as it is the insoluble solid that forms.

$Na_{2}SO_{4}$ is present in aqueous state.

An aqueous solution is 4.44 M nitric acid and the density of the solution is 1.42 g/mL. Calculate the mole fraction of this solu

prohojiy [21]

The mole fraction of HNO3 is 0.225

Explanation:

1.Given data

Density = 1.429 /ml

Mass% = 63.01 g HNO3 / 100g of solution

The mass of 63.01 g is in 100 / 1.142 /ml of solution

Or 63.01 g in 55.7 mL

Molarity = 15.39 moles / L

Mass of water in 100g = 100 - 63.01=36.99 g

So 63.01 grams in 36.99 grams of water

So mass of HNO3 in 1000grams of water = 63.01* x 1000 / 36.99 = 1703

Moles of HNO3 in 1000g = 1703 / 63.01 = 27.03 moles

Molality = 27.03 molal (mole / Kg)

Mole fraction = Mole of HN03 / Moles of water + mole of HNO3

Mole of water = 62/ 18 = 3.44

Moles of HNO3 = 63.01 / 63.01 = 1.000

Mole fraction = 1.000 / 3.44 + 1.000 = 0.225

The mole fraction of HNO3 is 0.225

How many sugar molecules are in 0.734 mol sugar, C6H12O6? Please explain

Dmitrij [34]

To answer this question, you need to know the Avogadro number. To find the amount of sugar molecule from mol unit you need to multiply it by the Avogadro number.
The calculation should be like this: 0.734 mol * 6.02*10^23 molecule/ mol= 4.41 * 10^23 molecule
