A prion is an infectious self-reproducing protein structure. true or false

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

True is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.
  • prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.
  • Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
  • Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
  • prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.

Answer:

I would say A. I'm no expert, but it can't be C obviously, and I think wind would hit all of it, wearing off the top as well like the great pyramids. B would be my next choice, but A i think would be best.

The boiling point of chloroform is 61.7 C. The enthalapy of vaporization is 31.4 kj/mol. Caculate the entropy of vaporization. D
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K

Explanation:

Given,

Boiling point of chloroform = 61.7 °C

                                             = 273 + 61.7 = 334.7 K.

Enthalapy of vapourization = 31.4 kJ/mol.

Using Gibbs free   energy equation

Δ G = Δ H - T (ΔS)

at equilibrium (when the liquid is boiling), Δ G = 0

so,  0 = ΔH - T (Δ S)

      T (Δ S) = Δ H

and ΔS = ΔH / T

Δ S = (31400 J/mol.) / 334.7 K

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K

Pleaaaaase helppppppppppppp ASAP
laiz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The forward reaction is exothermic, hence when temperature is increased the equilibrium shift towards the reactants side to get rid of the excess energy. This will mean that more reactants are produced decreasing yield

b) There are a fewer number of moles of gas on the right side compared to the left side (Just count the coefficients before each compound) so a higher pressure will mean that the equilibrium will shift towards the products side in order to decrease the pressure. This will mean that more products are formed increasing yield

c) When something is powdered it's surface area to volume ratio increases. A higher surface area means that the particles around it have more area to work on so the frequency of collisions will increase increasing the rate of reaction. This is why iron is powdered.

If I have 0.725 moles of gas at a temperature of 105 K and a pressure of 3.75 atmospheres, what is the volume of the gas?
iVinArrow [24]

If I have 0.725 moles of gas at a temperature of 105 K and a pressure of 3.75 atmospheres the volume of the gas 1.66 litres.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of moles of the gas = 0.725

temperature = 105 K

pressure = 3.75 atm

volume of the gas =?

R = 0.08206 Latm/mole Kelvin

Applying the ideal gas law to calculate the volume of the given gas:

PV = nRT

rearranging the equation to calculate volume:

V = \frac{nRT}{P}

putting the values in the equation:

V = \frac{0.08206 X 0.725 X 105}{3.75}

V = 1.66 Litres.

At a temperature of 105 K and pressure of 3.75 atm, 0.725 moles of gas occupy 1.66 litres of volume.
