Answer: The drug will be poisonous

Explanation:

The human cells contains chemicals which also performs glycolysis; the drug might also harm human beings if the chemist should proceed on manufacturing and using the drug on humans.

This simply means the drug will react with the chemicals in the human cell to result in a poison which will kill the user.

At the end, even though the drug will be successful in killing the bacteria it will also kill the host(the human being).

Therefore the chemist could not proceed because the drug will be poisonous to human beings.

What is the difference between a purine and a pyrimidine?
GalinKa [24]

Answer: Adenine and guanine are the two purines and cytosine, thymine and uracil are the three pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is that purines contain a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring fused to an imidazole ring whereas pyrimidines contain only a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring. They both are types or categories of nitrogen containing bases present in nuclei acids of DNA and RNA.

Purines are 2 Ring or Carbon Ring, Nitrogen containing bases. That consist of these 2 rings next placed next to each other. These examples include - Adenine and Guanine.

Pyrimidines are 1 or single Ring Nitrogen containing structures. There are 3 nitrogenous bases that are categorized as pyrimidines. Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.

Keq for the reaction below is 2400. If the initial conditions of the reaction are a 1.0 L flask that contains 0.024 mol NO (g),
podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer to your question is it is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products.

Explanation:

Data

Keq = 2400

Volume = 1 L

moles of NO = 0.024

moles of N₂ = 2

moles of O₂ = 2.6

Process

1.- Determine the concentration of reactants and products

[NO] = 0.024 / 1 = 0.024

[N₂] = 2/1 = 2

[O₂] = 2.6/ 1= 2.6

2.- Balanced chemical reaction

                     N₂ + O₂    ⇒   2NO

3.- Write the equation for the equilibrium of this reaction

                     Keq = [NO]²/[N₂][O₂]

- Substitution

                    Keq = [0.024]² / [2][2.6]

-Simplification

                    Keq = 0.000576 / 5.2

-Result

                    Keq = 1.11 x 10⁻⁴

Conclusion

It is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products because the experimental Keq was lower than the Keq theoretical-

                         1.11 x 10⁻⁴ < 2400
