Hi 

<span>Explicit- and implicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study complexation in two polyelectrolyte systems: poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PSS/PAH) and poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAA/PAH). Both these systems have been used in layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte films, with the first of these typically yielding linear growth in film thickness with increasing numbers of layers and the second yielding exponential growth. In both the systems, the polyelectrolytes have the same number of monomers and are present in stoichiometric proportion, and water is used as solvent. Simulations give important insights into the structure and composition of the complexes. We found that the PSS/PAH complex is more compact and has a smaller fraction of water than the PAA/PAH complex due to the presence of phenyl rings in the PSS chain and the hydrophilic nature of the charged group in the PAA chain. Either an increase in salt concentration or a decrease in partial charge fraction increases swelling and the water content in the complex. To overcome the computational limitations associated with the explicit-solvent simulation, a simple strategy to develop the force field for an implicit-solvent simulation is proposed. In the absence of salt and for fully charged polyelectrolytes, the radius-of-gyration and the various radial distribution functions predicted by the implicit-solvent simulation match well with those predicted by the explicit-solvent simulation, while reasonable agreement is obtained in the other cases. The implicit-solvent simulation was performed for bigger system sizes, and we observed trends similar to those observed for smaller system sizes, suggesting that the simulation results are independent of system size.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

a. b- x= y

dx = -dy

b. F = \frac{-kQqi}{r (a+r)}

c.  F = \frac{-kQqi}{r^{2} }

Explanation:

a. x components:

dE = \frac{kdq}{(a+r-x^{2}) } \\

     = \frac{kQdx}{(a(a+r-x)^2}

Integrating and solving gives:

b- x= y

dx = -dy

b. the force is given by the equation derived from (a.):

F = \frac{-kQqi}{r (a+r)}

c. Given that r>>a, the expression becomes:

F = \frac{-kQqi}{r^{2} }

Explanation:

When the size of the charge distribution is less than the distance to the deviation point of the charge then the charge distribution would produce the same effect such as a linear charge.

1. Indica cuáles son los reactivos y productos de la reacción química representada por la ecuación siguiente, y señala en que es
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Los reactivos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:

  • Mg: estado sólido
  • HCl: estado acuoso

Los productos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:

  • MgCl₂: estado acuoso
  • H₂: estado gaseoso

Explanation:

Una reacción química es un proceso por el cual una o más sustancias se transforman en otra u otras sustancias con propiedades diferentes. En otras palabras, las reacciones químicas son procesos en los que los átomos rompen sus enlaces químicos y forman otros nuevos, cambiando la naturaleza de las sustancias que intervienen.

En una ecuación química se representan dos términos. En el primero, el de la  derecha, se escriben los reactivos, expresados mediante sus fórmulas químicas  correspondientes y separados por un signo más. Por otro lado, el término de la izquierda, en  el que aparecen los productos, también representados por sus formulas químicas  correspondientes y con signos más entre ellos. Entre ambos términos suele ponerse  una flecha que indica que se ha producido la reacción química correspondiente.

Las sustancias que hay antes de producirse el cambio y que desaparecen se llaman reactivos. Las sustancias que hay después de producirse el cambio y que aparecen o se generan se llaman productos.

El estado de agregación en una reacción química se indica poniendo detrás del nombre o la fórmula de la sustancia y entre paréntesis la notación siguiente:

  • Sustancias sólidas (s)
  • Sustancias líquidas (l)
  • Sustancias gaseosas (g)
  • Sustancias disueltas en agua (aq)

En este caso tienes la reacción química:

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) -> MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Entonces, <u><em>en este caso los reactivos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:</em></u>

  • <u><em>Mg: estado sólido</em></u>
  • <u><em>HCl: estado acuoso</em></u>

<u><em>Por otro lado, los productos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:</em></u>

  • <u><em>MgCl₂: estado acuoso</em></u>
  • <u><em>H₂: estado gaseoso</em></u>
