S_A_V [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Cobalt and its derivatives act as a catalyst for some enzymatic functions, in this case, it acts as a cofactor.

Cobaloximes are effective electrocatalysts for the production of hydrogen and, therefore, functional models for hydrogenases.

Explanation:

Cobalt is a metal that participates directly in the synthesis of vitamin B12, necessary for the metabolism of various proteins, with megaloblastic anemia being one of the greatest evidences of a lack.

Its main function is that it integrates the vitamin B12 molecule, also called cyanocobalamin, so that lack of cobalt causes the same symptoms as vitamin B12 deficiency.

Vitamin B12 can only be synthesized by bacteria and for this a cobalt atom is required, in fact adult ruminants can synthesize enough vitamin B12 in the rumen provided they have an adequate supply of cobalt.

It acts as a catalyst for some enzymatic functions, in this case, it acts as a cofactor. Very important for example in the transfer of methyl groups, in this way cobalt, together with folic acid participate in the synthesis of methionine.

The dimethylglioxime (dmgH) complexes to the cobalt to give a series of complexes of Co (III), called cobaloxime, that having 4 positions coordinated to nitrogen in a coplanar way and forming a ring similar to the corrínico nucleus; If another substituent also has an N-heterocyclic nature, it can correctly simulate the B12 system.

1) If calcium were to combine with the compound barium nitrate, which member of the barium nitrate would calcium replace?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Calcium would displace barium.

Explanation:

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Ca -->  Ca(NO₃)₂ + Ba

There are two types of compounds: molecular/covalent and ionic.

Molecular/covalent compounds are non-metal + non-metal.

Ionic compounds are metal + non-metal.

Looking at the periodic table, barium is a metal. Calcium is also a metal.

Checking a polyatomic ions chart would tell you NO₃⁻ is a non-metal because it has a negative charge.

Since there is no metal + metal compound, the calcium metal would displace barium. The compound remains ionic.

I know there are 4.5*10^-9 seconds in 4.5 nanoseconds, but when I enter it into my TI-30xIIs, I get 4.5*10^-10. I enter it as 4.
o-na [289]

Answer:

You are not using properly the function exponential in your calculator

Explanation:

When a number is too big or too small we use scientific notation. This is a number between 1 a 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

When you are writing 4.5*10^-9 you are actually writing 0.0000000045 in scientific notation.

When you enter this in the calculator you have to use the function EXP after the first two numbers.

Steps:    1) Enter 4.5

             2) Enter EXP

             3) Enter minus (-)

             4) Enter 9
