Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. Puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill

an adult a few hours after ingestion. Sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. Recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. This recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry?

The correct answer is Applied Biochemistry.  

In applied biochemistry the knowledge and methods of biochemistry is applied to solve real world problems like to discover effective medicine in the treatment of life threatening diseases such as cancer, to improve productivity in agriculture, to treat diseases caused by the mutation in the metabolic pathway and more.

The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes conformation when struck with light of sufficient energy. The change in conformation triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain. The minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 {\rm kJ}/{\rm mol}.

The molar mass of oxygen gas (O2) is 32.00 g/mol. The molar mass of C3H8 is 44.1 g/mol. What mass of O2, in grams, is required t
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The reaction formula of this is C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O. The ratio of mole number of C3H8 and O2 is 1:5. 0.025g equals to 0.025/44.1=0.00057 mole. So the mass of O2 is 0.00057*5*32=0.0912 g.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The concentrations of Cl_2 at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Explanation:

Moles of  Cl_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{10g}{71g/mol}=0.14mol

Volume of solution = 1 L

Initial concentration of Cl_2 = \frac{0.14mol}{1L}=0.14M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            COCl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_2(g)

Initial conc.           0.14 M           0 M       0M    

At eqm. conc.     (0.14-x) M        (x) M        (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[CO]\times [Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

4.63\times 10^{-3}=\frac{x)^2}{(0.14-x)}

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.023 M

Thus, the concentrations of Cl_2 at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Sulfur trioxide is a gas that reacts with liquid water to produce aqueous sulfuric Acid or acid rain what is the equation for th
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)

Explanation:

The<em> molecular formula for the involved species</em> are:

  • Sulfur trioxide = SO₃. ("trioxide" indicates the presence of 3 oxygen atoms).
  • Water = H₂O
  • Sulfuric acid = H₂SO₄

With the above information in mind we can proceed to write the reaction equation:

  • SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₄(aq)
