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.

Answer: A. 1.60 liters

Explanation:

2Na_2O_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2Na_2CO_3+O_2

As can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of CO_2 produce 1 mole of O_2.

According to Avogadro's law, every 1 mole of the gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP.

Thus 2 moles of CO_2 occupies 22.4\times 2=44.8L at STP and produce 1 mole of O_2 i.e. 22.4 L

44.8 L of CO_2 will produce 22.4 L of O_2

Thus 3.20L of CO_2 will produce \frac{22.4}{44.8}\times 3.20=1.60L

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol

Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required  fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.
