Phenyl-methane-sulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF) inactivates serine proteases by binding covalently to the catalytic serine residue at the active site, this enzyme-inhibitor bond is not cleaved by the enzyme. This is an example of an Irreversible kind of inhibition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  •    Cell Lysates are prepared by using Phenyl-methane-sulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF). This PMSF is an enzyme inhibitor that inactivates serine proteases.
  •     It inactivate the serine proteases by attaching with the catalytic serine, Which was in an active state.
  •    The PMSF bond was not separated by the enzyme. So this action cannot be repeated. Hence it is an irreversible kind of inhibition.
  •     Handling of PMSF should be done in a fume hood and while handling it we should wear gloves.

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis,  the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Chris noticed a high-pressure system in the weather forecast for Monday
Alchen [17]

Answer:

A. Clear and Sunny

Explanation:

The answer would be A. Clear and Sunny. A high pressure system occurs where the air mass above the Earth is denser than in surrounding areas, and therefore exerts a higher force or pressure. They usually happen with li9ght winds. Using process of elimination, it could not be D. Warm and Stormy, C. Cloudy and Rainy, or B. Cold and Stormy because all have wet climates.

A 0.533 g sample of a carbonate salt is added to a flask. The only thing you know is that per formula unit, there is only one ca
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

\mathbf{CrCO_3}

Explanation:

The total mole of H_2SO_4 added = 15 × 1 × 10⁻³

= 15 × 10⁻³ mole

= 15 mmoles

the number of moles of NaOH added in order to neutralize the excess acid = 0.5905 ×  29.393 = 17.36 mmoles

the equation for the reaction is:

2NaOH + H_2SO_4 --------> Na_2SO_4 +2H_2O

i.e

2 moles of NaOH react with H_2SO_4

1 moles of  NaOH will react with 1/2  H_2SO_4

17.36 mmoles of NaOH = 1/2 × 17.36 mmoles of H_2SO_4

                                       = 8.68 mmoles

Number of moles of H_2SO_4 that react with MCO₃ = Total moles of H_2SO_4 added - moles of H_2SO_4 reacted with NaOH

= (15 - 8.68) mmoles

= 6.32 mmoles

H_2SO_4 + MCO_3  ------>   M_2SO_4   +    H_2O   +   CO_2

1 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 1 mole of MCO_3

6.32 mmoles of H_2SO_4 = 6.32 mmoles of MCO_3

number of moles of MCO_3 = 6.32 10⁻³ moles

mass of  MCO_3 (carbonate salt) = 0.533 g

molar mass of MCO_3  = (M+60)g/mol

We all know that ;

number of moles = mass/molar mass

Then:

6.32 10⁻³ = 0.533 / (M+60)

(M+60) = 0.533/ 6.32 10⁻³

M + 60 = 84.34

M = 84.34 - 60

M = 24.34

Thus the element with the atomic mass of 24.34 is Chromium

The chemical formula for the compound is :  \mathbf{CrCO_3}
