The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes conformation when struck with light of sufficient energy. The change in conformation triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain. The minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 {\rm kJ}/{\rm mol}.
Gas and liquid both take the shape of their container. The difference is gas molecules equally fills the space. Is there any more information?
Answer:
1.2 atm
Explanation:
Given data
- Volume of the gas in the tank (V₁): 200.0 L
- Pressure of ethylene gas in the tank (P₁): ?
- Volume of the gas in the torch (V₂): 300 L
- Pressure of the gas in the torch (P₂): 0.8 atm
If we consider ethylene gas to be an ideal gas, we can find the pressure of ethylene gas in the tank using Boyle's law.

Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
