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.

What is the mass of 3.35 mol Hg(IO3)2? 1,700 g 1,840 g 1,960 g 2,110 g
vichka [17]

Answer:- 1840 g.

Solution:- We have been given with 3.35 moles of  and asked to calculate it's mass.

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by the molar mass of the compound. Molar mass of the compound is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms present in it.

molar mass of  = atomic mass of Hg + 2(atomic mass of I) + 6(atomic mass of O)

= 200.59+2(126.90)+6(16.00)

= 200.59+253.80+96.00

= 550.39 gram per mol

Let's multiply the given moles by the molar mass:

3.35mol(\frac{550.39g}{1mol})

= 1843.8 g

Since, there are three sig figs in the given moles of compound, we need to round the calculated my to three sig figs also. So, on rounding off to three sig figs the mass becomes 1840 g.
