Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?

Chemistry
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

Balance the following equation:
Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) 2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O

b) 1 mole of SO_2 is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O

The balanced equation will be:

2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O

Thus the coefficients are 2, 3 , 10 , 4 , 3 , 2 and 5.

b) Oxidation: 2I-^-\rightarrow I_2+2e-^-

Reduction: SO_4^{2-}+2e^-+4H^+\rightarrow SO_2+2H_2O

Net reaction:  2I-^-+SO_4^{2-}+4H^+\rightarrow I_2+SO_2+2H_2O

When 1 mole of I_2 is produced, 1 mole of SO_2 is produced.

A sample of gas occupies 9.0 mL at a pressure of 500.0 mm Hg. A new volume of the same sample is at a pressure of 750.0 mm Hg.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).

<h3>Solution:</h3>

              According to Boyle's Law, " <em>The Volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the applied Pressure</em>". Mathematically, the initial and final states of gas are given as,

                                     P₁ V₁  =  P₂ V₂    ----------- (1)

Data Given;

                  P₁  =  500 mmHg

                  V₁  =  9.0 mL

                  P₂  =  750 mmHg

                  V₂  =  ??

Solving equation 1 for V₂,

                   V₂  =  P₁ V₁ / P₂

Putting values,

                   V₂  =  (500 mmHg × 9.0 mL) ÷ 750 mmHg

                   V₂  =  6.0 mL

<h3>Result:</h3>

            The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).

Which model of acids and bases would NOT define NH3 as a base (even though it is considered one by the other models)?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Arrhenius</em>

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, an acid must produce H+ ions when it is present in a solution and the base must produce OH- ions when placed in a solution.

Ammonia does not contain OH- ions of its own when dissolved in water.

The reaction of ammonia dissolving is water can be written as:

NH3     +    H2O     ⇌   NH4+ + OH−

As we can see from the equation, ammonia does form OH- ions but it does not have OH- ions on its own.

Hence, according to the Arrhenius concept, NH3 is not a base.
