. Your lab technician was to determine the ash content of buttermilk by conventional dry ashing. The technician weighed 5 g of l

iquid buttermilk into one weighed platinum crucible, immediately put the crucible into the muffle furnace using a pair of all stainless steel tongs, and ashed the sample for 48 h at 800 °C. The crucible was removed from the muffle furnace and set on a rack in the open until it was cool enough to reweigh. (4 marks)

Answer:

Ashing process is done to evaluate the ash content present in petroleum or other proucts, so that they can be used for certain applications

The two major types of ashing process that includes dry ashing and wet ashing and can be performed using microwave systems or conventional means.

a. errors made in the preceding method while determining the ash content of buttermilk by conventional dry ashing are as following:

  • Buttermilk should not immediatly put into muffle immediatley, it should be boiled first to avoid splatter.
  • Temperature should be between 500 to 600 degree celcius at high temperature teh ash content can be loss.
  • The sample should be ashed for 12-18 hrs , more than this can damage the required ash content.
  • platinum tip should be used in place of stainless steel because platinum has a lower concomitant tip impedance than stainless stell, so less reactive to ash.
  • The ash should put in dessicator and not allow to kept in open because ash can react with the humidity in teh atmosphere.

b. The result that occur due to above errors such as the temperature, time,  tongs and leaving ash in open will manipulate the final ash content and its application can be harmful for humans and for other purpose if it will be used.

what is true of intercellular signals that do not go through direct connections between cells such as gap junctions? (A.They eit
adell [148]

The correct answer is option A. They either match up with a receptor molecule on the surface of the cell or enter the cell through the membrane.

The intercellular signals are the signals, which transfer the signals from one cell to the another and the intracellular signals are those signals, which carries message within the cell.

The intercellular signals may or may not be transferred through the gap junctions. The chemical signals are one of the type of the cell signals. The chemical signalling molecules generally have a receptor on the cells, where these molecules can bind and can be cause the activation of the cell. The chemical signals can also enter into the cells through active transport and facilitated diffusion. So, these type of transports does not go through the Gap junction.
