Answer

Omega-3 fatty acid

Explanation:

The monomers are small units or molecules which join with each other end in a huge to end and give rise to the polymers.

DNA and albumin:

If we talk about albumin it is a protein which is present in eggs. All proteins are made up of monomers of amino acids. Similarly, DNA is also a polymer because it is made up hundreds and thousands of small monomeric units called nucleotides.

glycogen:

It is also a biological polymer where several monomer units of glucose are joined together through alpha acetal linkages.

Omega-3 fatty acid:

It is not a polymer. Its a group of fatty acids that contain a double bond at carbon of 3rd position from one end of the carbon chain that was initiated from methyl group and contains one carboxyl group located at the other molecular end. For example: Alpha-Linelenic acid.

Therefore, Omega-3 fatty acid is the right option.

Describe two advantages and two disadvantages of building your 3D model with modeling clay. (5 points)

marishachu [46]

Answer:

A model or simulation is only as good as the rules used to create it. It is very difficult to create an entirely realistic model or simulation because the rules are based on research and past events. The main disadvantage of simulations is that they aren't the real thing.

A solution contains [Ba2+] = 5.0 × 10−5 M, [Zn2+] = 2.0 × 10−7 M, and [Ag+] = 3.0 × 10−5 M. Sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) is slowly a

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

Explanation:

1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of oxalate ion

Let [C₂O₄²⁻] = c

(a) Barium oxalate

BaC₂O₄ ⇌ Ba²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ c

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵c = 1.5 × 10⁻⁸

c = (1.5 × 10⁻⁸)/(5.0 × 10⁻⁵) = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

(b) Zinc oxalate

ZnC₂O₄ ⇌ Zn²⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.0 × 10⁻⁷ c

Ksp = [Zn²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷c = 1.35 × 10⁻⁹

c = (1.35 × 10⁻⁹)/(2.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Silver oxalate

Ag₂C₂O₄ ⇌ 2Ag⁺ + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹: 3.0 × 10⁻⁵ c

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[C₂O₄²⁻] = (3.0× 10⁻⁵)²c = 9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰c = 1.1 × 10⁻¹¹

c = (1.1 × 10⁻¹¹)/(9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 0.012 mol·L⁻¹

2. Decide the order of precipitation

BaC₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

ZnC₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Ag₂C₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 0.028 mol·L⁻¹

This happens to be the order of increasing concentration of oxalate ion.

The order of precipitation is

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄
