icric acid is a able to denature proteins by altering the tertiary configuration of proteins. Meaning that it is capable for picric acid to precipitate protein particulates by altering the state of either H-bonding and vander-waals dispersion forces, this eventually renders the hydrophobic end of the protein in its outer stratum and the hydrophilic end in the center which is generally binded to picric acid. This again as a conclusion makes an insoluble precipitate out of your denatured protein. This ppt'n. in a sense clogs the pathway for any pathogen, or interstitial fluid of your body to exit the wound or for the pathogen to enter. This again helps your fibrinogens fight against the progress of infection and your body to sustain good amount of monocytes in the infected area.

Picric acid is used to treat burns because it is an antistringent and an antiseptic. As an antistringent it causes contraction of the skin cells.

Tannic acid is used to treat burns because it has some advantages over other treatments. It prevents infection, which is common after burns

Further Explanation:

1. Picric acid  

It is one of the most acidic phenols. Like other very nitrated natural compounds,picric acid is an explosive, hence its primary use. It has also been utilized  in medicine/drug (antiseptic, burn treatments) and dyes.

Picric acid is in the same family of nitroaromatic explosives as trinitrotoluene (TNT). It is no longer used as an explosive because of this type of reaction. A stun inhumane unstable intensify that structures stun delicate touchy salts with metals, (for example, lead) is unreasonably clumsy for most regular applications.

2. How to store picric acid

Picric acid and its derivatives should be stored in small quantities in the original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat. Picric acidis considered a flammable solid when wet with at least 30% water

3. Tannic acid  

Tannic acid is a polymer of gallic acid particles  and glucose. It the example there are 3 gallic acid molecules, but normally there are about 8. Because there are different molecular structures for tannic acid it would have been better to talk about tannic acids (in plural). Tannic acid will hydrolyze into glucose and gallic or ellagic acid units. Tannic acid is odourless but has a very astringent taste. Pure tannic acid is a light yellowish and formless  powder.

4. Tannic acid also used to treat diarrhea

It is one of the most acidic phenols. Like other highly nitrated organic compounds,picric acid is an explosive, hence its primary use. It has also been used in medicine (antiseptic, burn treatments) and dyes.

Which best explains why international trade agreements are beneficial for developing economies?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

They can lead to the lifting of sanctions.

Explanation:

Aid doesn't help an economy.

Competing with the United States is more like a result of having a developed economy, rather than a cause of an economy developing. Plus, the United States wouldn't likely export the same things as a developing nation.

International trade agreements don't help an economy to 'grow quickly', plus this is a really general answer.

The lifting of sanctions is really important. It's hard to develop under sanctions. Trade agreements allow for the regulation, reduction and removal of sanctions. For example, if the US made a trade deal with Mexico, it would greatly help Mexico to develop, as they would now be trading more freely with the United States.
