Answer:

(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun.

Explanation:

A reaction that is spontaneous can be described as

(A) proceeding without external influence once it has begun. TRUE. A spontaneous reaction has a tendency to proceed in the way it has begun. It is spontaneous when Gibbs free energy is negative.

(B) releasing heat to the surroundings. FALSE. If the reaction is exothermic (enthalpy negative), one still has to take into account the effect of the entropy on Gibbs free energy.

(C) proceeding in both the forward and reverse directions. FALSE. This just means that the reaction is reversible.

(D) increasing in disorder. FALSE. This means that entropy increases but it is still necessary to take into account the effect of enthalpy on Gibbs free energy.

(E) having the same rate in both the forward and reverse directions. FALSE. This is related to the kinetics but not the spontaneity.

A solution was made by dissolving 5.10 mg of hemoglobin in water to give a final volume of 1.00 ml. the osmotic pressure of this

Assoli18 [71]

The molecular weight of hemoglobin can be calculated using osmotic pressure

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and it depends on molarity as

πV = nRT

where

π = osmotic pressure

V = volume = 1mL = 0.001 L

n = moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = temperature = 25°C = 25 + 273 K = 298 K

Putting values we will get value of moles

$moles=\frac{\pi V}{RT}=\frac{0.00195X0.001}{0.0821X298}mol$

we know that

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

Therefore

$molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{5.10X10^{-3}g}{7.97X10^{-8}}=6.399X10^{4}g$

Which compound has the highest percent composition by mass of strontium?

spayn [35]

The answer is (3). The number of Sr is the same so if the compound has the smallest gram formula mass, it has the highest percent composition by mass of strontium. So the answer is (3).

How is hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen affected by the presence or absence of oxygen? rank hemoglobin molecules with the descri

allsm [11]

In order from the most likely to bind an oxygen to least likely;
3 bound o2, po2=100mmhg1 bound o2, po2=100mmhg3 bound o2, po2=40mmhg1 bound o2, po2=40mmhg


Haemoglobin is more likely to bind oxygen if its other oxygen binding sites have already bound to an oxygen molecule. The higher the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood also makes it more likely that the hemoglobin will bind oxygen.
