The amount of protein in a sample was measured by the sample's absorbance of light at a given wavelength. Using standards, a bes

t fit line (calibration curve) of absorbance (y-axes) vs. mg protein (x-axes) gave a slope of 0.0163 and an intercept of 0.104.

Answer:

Protein Concentration is 2.82mg/L

Explanation:

According to Beer-Lambert's Law, Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration.

However, the concentration of a solution can be determined from a calibration curve, in which Absorbance is plotted on the y-axis and the Concentration on the x-axis.

Plotting the best line, the equation of line is used

y = mx + c

where y is absorbance = 0.150

           m is slope = 0.0163

            x is concentration

             c is intercept = 0.104

inserting the values from the question

y = mx + c

0.150 = 0.0163x + 0.104

0.0163x = 0.150 - 0.104

0.0163x = 0.046

Divide both sides by 0.0163

0.0163x/0.0163 = 0.046/0.0163

x = 2.82

Concentration of protein = 2.82 mg/L

Explain the term contact force and give examples​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer & Explanation:

In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
fenix001 [56]
Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂<span>O

There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  H₂O

Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.


                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.

                                 C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.

                           ( C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O ) × 2

                                2 C₂H₆  +  3 O₂    →   4 CO₂  +  6 H₂O

Large mountain ranges rising up from the ocean floor are called
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

c mid ocean ridges

Explanation:

google def-A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

a basin is like a bowl and a plain is flat.
