Answer:
True is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.
- prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.
- Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
- Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
- prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.
Answer:
The formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.
Explanation:
The formula for aluminum sulfate is Al₂(SO₄)₃. If we say in terms of ions. The ions are Al³⁺. It is a positive ion or the cation. Other ion is SO₄²⁻. It is sulfate ion. It is anion.
Aluminum sulphate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles.
Hence, the formula of Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ is aluminum sulfate.
Answer:
- <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>
Explanation:
There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:
- Synthesis or combination reaction
- Single replacement reactions
- Double replacement reactions
The given reactions are:
- <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>
Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.
- <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.
- <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.
- <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).
Answer: 9.68 x 10^10 grams.
Explanation:
Given that:
Mass of CO2 = ?
Number of molecules of CO2 = 2.2x10^9 molecules
Molar mass of CO2 = ? (let unknown value be Z)
For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16
= 12 + (16 x 2)
= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol
Apply the formula:
Number of molecules = (Mass of CO2 in grams/Molar mass)
2.2x10^9 molecules = Z/44g/mol
Z = 2.2x10^9 molecules x 44g/mol
Z = 9.68 x 10^10g
Thus, the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2 is 9.68 x 10^10 grams.
