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.

The percentage yield for the reaction
makkiz [27]

Answer:

92.87 g.

Explanation:

∵ The percentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100.

  • We need to calculate the theoretical yield:

From the balanced reaction:

<em>PCl₃ + Cl₂ → PCl₅,</em>

It is clear that 1 mol of PCl₃ reacts with 1 mol of Cl₂ to produce 1 mol of PCl₅.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 73.7 g PCl₃:

n = mass/molar mass = (73.7 g)/(137.33 g/mol) = 0.536 mol.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1 mol of PCl₃ produce  → 1 mol of PCl₅, from stichiometry.

∴ 0.536 mol of PCl₃ produce  → 0.536 mol of PCl₅.

∴ The mass of PCl₅ (theoretical yield) = (no. of moles) * (molar mass) = (0.536 mol)*(208.24 g/mol) = 111.62 g.

<em>∵ The percentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100.</em>

The percentage yield = 83.2%, theoretical yield = 111.62 g.

∴ The actual yield of PCl₅ = (The percentage yield)(theoretical yield)/100 = (83.2%)(111.62 g)/100 = 92.87 g.
