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.

Describe the urban problems in the U.S. during the Civil Rights Movement.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The history of civil rights in the twentieth-century United States is inseparable from the history of the Great Migration. From the end of World War I through the 1970s, extraordinary numbers of African Americans chose to leave the South with its pervasive system of legalized racism and move to cities in the North and West. While we often associate the Great Migration with the decades around the two World Wars, historians have recently established that many more people moved away from the South after 1940 than before. Between 1940 and 1980, five million African Americans moved to the urban North and West, more than twice the number associated with the first wave of migration from 1915 to 1940.

Match each Enlightenment philosopher to the book that he wrote.

RSB [31]

John Locke: Second Treatise on Government
Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan
William Blackstone: Commentaries on the Laws of England
Jean Jacques Rousseau: The Social Contract

Explanation:

1. Two Treatises of Government (1689) is one of John Locke's most famous works. In this work, he established the principle that men are naturally free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government that the people chose and changed when they deemed necessary.

2. Thomas Hobbes published Leviathan: The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil in 1651. With this book, he became the first philosopher who developed the concept of Social Contract.

3. The most influential work of William Blackstone was the Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769) in which he fully described the doctrines of English law.

4. Jean-Jacques Rousseau published The Social Contract in 1762, which was a work that provided the means to establish a political community that would benefit the modern society.
