Which blood glucose-lowering hormones is produced by the pancreatic islet cells

1 answer:

7 0

Insulin Basics: How Insulin Helps Control Blood Glucose Levels. Insulin and glucagon are hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas. They are both secreted in response to blood sugar levels, but in opposite fashion! Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas

How to clean a nose piercing with antibacterial soap?.

pychu [463]

Cleaning the nose piercing with a few simple steps will help prevent pre-existing conditions like infections, allergic reactions or skin damage. Performing regular maintenance will keep your piercing cleaner, more comfortable and easier to clean in the future.(Remember: If you have any problems I recommend visiting a doctor at your earliest convenience!) Antibacterial soap is great at reducing inflammation and clearing up infections. You should soak your nose in it regularly and use a clean cloth to gently wash away any particles that may have fallen into the septum.

Given the following thermodynamic data, calculate the lattice energy of LiCl:

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{-862 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

One way to calculate the lattice energy is to use Hess's Law.

The lattice energy U is the energy released when the gaseous ions combine to form a solid ionic crystal:

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s); U = ?

We must generate this reaction rom the equations given.

(1) Li(s) + ½Cl₂ (g) ⟶ LiCl(s); ΔHf° = -409 kJ·mol⁻¹

(2) Li(s) ⟶ Li(g); ΔHsub = 161 kJ·mol⁻¹

(3) Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2Cl(g) BE = 243 kJ·mol⁻¹

(4) Li(g) ⟶Li⁺(g) +e⁻ IE₁ = 520 kJ·mol⁻¹

(5) Cl(g) + e⁻ ⟶ Cl⁻(g) EA₁ = -349 kJ·mol⁻¹

Now, we put these equations together to get the lattice energy.

(5) Li⁺(g) +e⁻ ⟶ Li(g) 520

(6) Li(g) ⟶ Li(s) -161

(7) Li(s) + ½Cl₂(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -409

(8) Cl(g) ⟶ ½Cl₂(g) -121.5

(9) Cl⁻(g) ⟶ Cl(g) + e⁻ <u>+349</u>

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -862

The lattice energy of LiCl is $\boxed{\textbf{-862 kJ/mol}}$ .

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below.

lesantik [10]

Remark
The balance numbers in front of Ag and AgNO3 are both 2. That number is in moles.

Rule: if the moles are the same in the equation, then whatever you are given for one, will be the same for the other. So you have 0.854 moles of Ag. You will also have 0.854 moles of AgNO3

Answer: 0.854 <<<<<

Ionic compounds involve a (share, tranfer) of electrons and typically involve atoms that have (Large, similar, very different) e

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

2 Transfer; very different

Explanation:

Ionic compound are compound that are formed from transfer of electron. The cations donate the electron(s) while the anion receive the electron(s). The compound possess a positively charged end and a negatively charge end. Example of ionic compound is NaCl . The sodium donates one electron to the chlorine to fulfill the octet rule. The sodium atom becomes positively charged as it donate electron to the chlorine atom. The chlorine atom becomes negatively charged as it receive electron from Sodium atom.

The atoms that are involve in forming ionic compound have very different electronegativity . Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom to attract a bond pair of electron. For example the NaCl compound, the two atom has verse differences in the electronegativity. Cl atom is far more electronegative than Sodium atom.
