Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can never be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

The law of conservation of energy posits that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

These laws are the basic laws of existence. Although the laws have been adjusted, they still form the basic principle behind several scientific laws and are responsible for a whole lot of scientific advancements.

While the first law focuses on matter and the content of matter in a body, the second law basically focuses on energy. The second law serves to support the inter convertibility behind the several forms or types of energy.

For example, to do many useful work at home, it is found that energy is converted from its electric form to say heat in an electric iron to press our clothes.

Also, the first law is a fundamental principle useful in the balancing of our chemical equations.

A cylinder is filled with 10.0L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 96.0kPa. T

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is:- 21.3 kPa

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 10.0 L

V₂ = 45.0 L

P₁ = 96.0 kPa

P₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

${96.0\ kPa}\times {10.0\ L}={P_2}\times {45.0\ L}$

${P_2}=\frac {{96.0}\times {10.0}}{45.0}\ kPa$

${P_2}=21.3\ kPa$

The final pressure of the gas is:- 21.3 kPa

A purified protein has a molecular mass of 360 kDa when measured by size exclusion chromatography. When analyzed by gel electrop

Dimas [21]

Answer:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

Explanation:

Given that:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

As a result of SDS and dithiothreitol analysis treatment, the molecular masses can not be 360 in total. They are 280, which implies that they are in short of 80 kDa. This means that there are possibilities that two groups with a molecular mass of 80 kDa which are joined by a disulfide bond.

The presence of SDS and dithiothreitol acts as a reducing agent, and they can break disulfide bonds whose pH is greater than 7, i.e. those in basic condition.

Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?

djyliett [7]

Answer : The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $CH_3^{-1}$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $CH_3^{-1}$ = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1$

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

A compound has the empirical formula CH2O. If the compound’s molecular mass is 180 g/mol, determine the molecular formula of the

Umnica [9.8K]

The molecular formula will be a multiple of the empirical CH2O. One unit of CH2O has a mass of 12+2*1+16 = 30 g. This means that if our compound has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol, we can divide 180 / 30 = 6 units, and our compound has 6 units of CH2O. This means that its molecular formula is C6H12O6.
