Which antibody does the body release when it identifies a bacterium or virus?

Chemistry

Lilit [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The first immunoglobulin to arrive is M, IgM

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are the molecules that intervene in defense against microorganisms, foreign cells and against substances that can cause allergies. They are also known as antibodies. IgM is specific and is the first antibody that appears in primary infections, so its value and quantity is very important to diagnose an infection.

Explanation:

Immunoglobulin M is the first antibody produced on initial exposure to an antigen. It is also known as IgM.

It occurs as a primary response to the antigens against a particular baterium or virus. It is pentavalent in nature and has ten binding sites for antigens.

Therefore, it is concluded that when the body identifies a bacterium or a virus, it releases the antibody IgM.

How many molecules of H₂S are required to form 79.0 g of sulfur according to the following reaction? Assume excess SO2.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

9.89 x 10²³ molecules H₂S

Explanation:

To find the molecules of H₂S, you need to (1) convert grams S to moles S (via the atomic mass of sulfur), then (2) convert moles S to moles H₂S (via the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂S to molecules H₂S (via Avogadro's Number). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Atomic Mass (S): 32.065 g/mol

2 H₂S(s) + SO₂(g) -----> 3 S(s) + 2 H₂O(l)

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

79.0 g S           1 mole            2 moles H₂S          6.022 x 10²³ molecules
---------------  x  ---------------  x  ----------------------  x  -------------------------------------  =
                        32.065 g            3 moles S                          1 mole

=  9.89 x 10²³ molecules H₂S

WHY is there a difference between how an electrolytes and non electrolytes affect collegiative properties?
natulia [17]
 <span>Colligative properties are dependent upon the number of molecules or ions present in solution. Therefore, 1 mole of Na2SO4 will produce 3 moles of ions and so it will have 3 times as much of an effect as 1 mole of sugar, which is not an electrolyte and can't dissociate to an appreciable extent.</span>

A balloon is filled with 2000 mL of air at a pressure of 2 atm. What is the volume of the balloon if the pressure is
artcher [175]

Answer:

800mL

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 = 2 atm, V1 = 2000mL ,

P2 = 5atm , V2 = ?

2 × 2000 = 5 × V2

Divide both sides by 5

V2 = 4000 ÷ 5

V2 = 800mL

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest

How do you find the percent yield of a chemical reaction?
kotegsom [21]
To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not
