How is the akin of frog similar to a fish​

Chemistry

mestny [16]3 years ago

Answer:

Have you ever touched a fish? Most fish will feel a bit rough - due to their scales. Some, like sharks, will feel like sandpaper. Even fish with small, smoother scales will feel a bit like that. Amphibians don’t have scales, and most species will be wet to some degree - they have to keep their skin moist or they’ll die. A few groups, like toads and newts, have rougher skin, which is heavier and thicker, which allows them to retain moisture better away from water.

Functionally, the big thing about amphibian skin is that it is semi-permeable. Amphibians can breathe through their skin - all amphibians can get some oxygen through their skin, but some species of salamanders get all their oxygen that way - they have no lungs or gills. The skin can also allow water in - sort of like a paper towel. The bad thing is that other chemicals can pass through the skin, too - pollutants and other chemicals tend to affect amphibians far more than they do other groups.

Amphibians also shed their skin - fish do not. People don’t tend to see frogs shedding their skin often, though, since they eat it to regain nutrients and other resources in the skin.

Finally, since amphibian skin offers no defense against predators in the way that scales do, and limited barrier against disease the way non-amphibian skin does (shedding helps), the skin of many amphibians contain toxins, and some of them have anti-fungal properties (typically due to symbiotic bacteria). Many species have evolved chemical defenses in the skin, while others have glands that produce toxins that can be secreted outside of the skin.

The skin can withstand dessication more than the fish.

They have moist skin used as respiratory surface during deep sleep / hibernation.

They have moist skin due to secretion of mucus by glands under the skin.

What orbits from a pi bond
mixer [17]

A pi bond is a bond formed by the overlap of orbitals in a side-by-side fashion with the electron density concentrated above and below the plane of the nuclei of the bonding atoms. ... Three sigma bonds are formed from each carbon atom for a total of six sigma bonds total in the molecule.

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution when ex
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a. 1.78x10⁻³ = Ka

2.75 = pKa

b. It is irrelevant.

Explanation:

a. The neutralization of a weak acid, HA, with a base can help to find Ka of the acid.

Equilibrium is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

And Ka is defined as:

Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

The HA reacts with the base, XOH, thus:

HA + XOH → H₂O + A⁻ + X⁺

As you require 26.0mL of the base to consume all HA, if you add 13mL, the moles of HA will be the half of the initial moles and, the other half, will be A⁻

That means:

[HA] = [A⁻]

It is possible to obtain pKa from H-H equation (Equation used to find pH of a buffer), thus:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Replacing:

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

As [HA] = [A⁻]

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ 1

<h3>2.75 = pKa</h3>

Knowing pKa = -log Ka

2.75 = -log Ka

10^-2.75 = Ka

<h3>1.78x10⁻³ = Ka</h3>

b. As you can see, the initial concentration of the acid was not necessary. The only thing you must know is that in the half of the titration, [HA] = [A⁻]. Thus, the initial concentration of the acid doesn't affect the initial calculation.

When the following oxidation–reduction reaction in acidic solution is balanced, what is the lowest whole-number coefficient for
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

b. 16, reactant side

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

MnO₄⁻(aq) + I⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + I₂(s)

We can balance it using the ion-electron method.

Step 1: Identify both half-reactions

Reduction: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Oxidation: I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 2: Perform the mass balance, adding H⁺(aq) and H₂O(l) where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 3: Perform the charge balance, adding electrons where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻

Step 4: Multiply both half-reactions by numbers so that the number of electrons gained and lost are equal

2 × (MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: Add both half-reactions and cancel what is repeated on both sides

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)  + 10 e⁻

The balanced reaction is:

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)
