Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

Two proteins interact to form a multimeric complex. When one of the proteins is mutated, there is a substantial loss of function

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

<h2>4. dominant negative</h2>

Explanation:

Mutation is the process in which sudden changes take place within the sequence of amino acids that causes different type of problems. On the basis of nature and conditions mutation can be classified as dominant negative, neomorphic and some others types. Dominant mutation is also called as antimorphic mutation and changes the functions of the molecules that are proteins.

Hydrogen gas was collected by water displacement. what was pressure of the h2 collected if the temperature was 26°c?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The ideal gas law may be written as
$p= \frac{\rho R T}{M}$
where
p = pressure
ρ =density
T = temperature
M = molar mass
R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

For the given problem,
ρ = 0.09 g/L = 0.09 kg/m³
T = 26°C = 26+273 K = 299 K
M = 1.008 g/mol = 1.008 x 10⁻³ kg/mol

Therefore
$p= \frac{(0.09 \, kg/m^{3})*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(299 \, K)}{1.008 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/mol} =2.2195 \times 10^{5} \, Pa$

Note that 1 atm = 101325 Pa
Therefore
p = 2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa
= 221.95 kPa
= (2.295 x 10⁵)/101325 atm
= 2.19 atm

Answer:
2.2195 x 10⁵ Pa (or 221.95 kPa or 2.19 atm)
