Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there will be interaction between 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) and Lys residue in the central cavity of hemoglobin then it will change into Ser residue. After that, the it will lead to less stable formation of deoxygenated state (T state).

Since, serine is not a charged amino acid therefore, it will lead to a decrease in the binding affinity of hemoglobin for 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

As a result, stability of the T state will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the T state would be less stable.

Explanation: Here, we will be considering 1 cup is equal to 1 mol.

2 water + sugar + lemon juice → 4 lemonade

Moles of water present in 946.36 g of water=\frac{946.36 g}{236.59 g/mol}=4 mol

Moles of sugar present in 196.86 g of water=\frac{196.86 g}{225 g/mol}=0.8749 mol

Moles of lemon juice present in 193.37 g of water=\frac{193.37 g}{257.83 g/mol}=0.7499 mol

Moles of lemonade in 2050.25 g of water=\frac{2050.25 g}{719.42 g/mol}=2.8498 mol

As we can see that number of moles of lemon juice are limited.

So, we will consider the reaction will complete in accordance with moles of lemon juice.

1 mole lemon juice reacts with 2 mol of water,then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will react with:

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.7499 mol = 1.4998 mol of water

Mass of water used =  1.4998 mol × 236.59 g/mol=354.8376 g

Water remained unused = 946.36 g - 354.8376 g =591.5223 g

1 mole lemon juice reacts with  mol of sugar,then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will react with:

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.7499 mol = 0.7499 mol of water

Mass of sugar used =  0.7499 mol × 225 g/mol = 168.7275 g

Sugar remained unused = 196.86 g - 28.1325 g

1 mole of lemon juice gives 4 moles of lemonade.

Then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will give:

\frac{4}{1}\times 0.7499 mol=2.996 mol of lemonade

Mass of lemonade obtained  = 2.996 mol × 719.42 g/mol = 2157.9722 g

Theoretical yield of lemonade = 2157.9722 g

Experimental yield of lemonade = 2050.25 g

Percentage yield of lemonade:

\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\times 100

\frac{2050.25 g}{2157.9722 g}\times 100=95.00\%

The percentage yield of  lemonade is 95% and ingredient which remained unused were water and sugar.

Define what natural gas is, explain how it forms, and<br> what it is used for today.
natta225 [31]

Answer:

is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.

It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the Earth over millions of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in the gas

for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as a fuel for vehicles and as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of plastics and other commercially important organic chemicals.

A voltaic cell that uses the reaction PdCl2−4(aq)+Cd(s)→Pd(s)+4Cl−(aq)+Cd2+(aq) has a measured standard cell potential of +1.03
Ghella [55]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Cd(s)\rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Pd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Pd(s)

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The given redox reaction is:

PdCl_4^{2-}(aq)+Cd(s)\rightarrow Pd(s)+4Cl^-(aq)+Cd^{2+}(aq)

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Cd(s)\rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Pd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Pd(s)
