What really is the Ebola virus?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
7 0
The Ebola virus belongs to a family of viruses termed Filoviridae. Filovirus particles form long sometimes branched filaments of varying shapes, as well as shorter filaments , and may measure up to 14,000 nanometers in length with diameter of 80 nanometers. Viral particles contain one molecule of single stranded RNA enveloped in a lipid membrane. New viral particle bud from the surface of their host cell. Although Ebola virus was only discovered in 1976, it is an ancient virus and is thought to have split from other viruses thousands of years ago.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes spontaneously to yield water and oxygen gas according to the following reaction equation. 2H202(aq)
inn [45]

Answer : The temperature for non-catalyzed reaction needed will be 456 K

Explanation :

Activation energy : The energy required to initiate the reaction is known as activation energy.

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

Since, the rate for both the reaction are equal.

K_1=K_2

A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT_1}}=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT_2}}

\frac{Ea_1}{T_1}=\frac{Ea_2}{T_2} ..........(1)

where,

Ea_1 = activation energy for non-catalyzed reaction = 75 kJ/mol

Ea_2 = activation energy for catalyzed reaction = 49 kJ/mol

T_1 =  temperature for non-catalyzed reaction = ?

T_2 = temperature for catalyzed reaction = 25^oC=273+25=298K

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

\frac{Ea_1}{T_1}=\frac{Ea_2}{T_2}

\frac{75kJ/mol}{T_1}=\frac{49kJ/mol}{298K}

T_1=456K

Therefore, the temperature for non-catalyzed reaction needed will be 456 K

Draw Au3N as a picture of atoms
Shkiper50 [21]

The picture of Au₃N is attached below.

The first part of the picture shows the formation of Au and N ions.

Formation of Au⁺¹ :

                            As Gold has one valence electron in 6s¹ therefore, it will loose it to form Au⁺¹. In case of Au₃N three atoms of Au looses three electrons to form three Au⁺¹ ions.

Formation of N⁻³ :

                            As Nitrogen has 5 valence elctrions therefore, it will gain three electrons that lost by Au to form Nitrite (i.e. N⁻³)

Formation of Au₃N:

                                Three cations of Au⁺ combines with one anion of N⁻³ to form a neutral ionic compound i.e. Au₃N as shown in second part of the picture.

Why do lungfish walk on land?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The new findings support the theory that walking first arose underwater, preceding the move onto land and the development of toes and limbs adapted to land perambulation.
