Answer:

Explanation:

Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Hundreds of steroids are found in plants, animals and fungi. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)

calculate the difference in slope of the chemical potential against temperature on either side of the normal freezing point of w
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(a) The normal freezing point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is -22Jmole^-^1k^-^1

(b) The normal boiling point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is -109Jmole^-^1K^-^1

(c) the chemical potential of water supercooled to −5.0°C exceed that of ice at that temperature is  109J/mole

Explanation:

Lets calculate

(a) - General equation -

      (\frac{d\mu(\beta )}{dt})p-(\frac{d\mu(\alpha) }{dt})_p = -5_m(\beta )+5_m(\alpha ) =  -\frac{\Delta H}{T}

 \alpha ,\beta → phases

ΔH → enthalpy of transition

T → temperature transition

 (\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p -(\frac{d\mu(s)}{dT})_p == -\frac{\Delta_fH}{T_f}

            = \frac{-6.008kJ/mole}{273.15K} ( \Delta_fH is the enthalpy of fusion of water)

           = -22Jmole^-^1k^-^1

(b) (\frac{d\mu(g)}{dT})_p-(\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p= -\frac{\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH}{T_v_a_p_o_u_r}

                                  = \frac{40.656kJ/mole}{373.15K} (\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH is the enthalpy of vaporization)

                               = -109Jmole^-^1K^-^1

(c) \Delta\mu =\Delta\mu(l)-\Delta\mu(s) =-S_m\DeltaT

[\mu(l-5°C)-\mu(l,0°C)] =  [\mu(s-5°C)-\mu(s,0°C)]=-S_mΔT

\mu(l,-5°C)-\mu(s,-5°C)=-Sm\DeltaT [\mu(l,0

\Delta\mu=(21.995Jmole^-^1K^-^1)\times (-5K)

     = 109J/mole

In a chemical formula such as C6H12O6 and H2O, what do you call the little numbers below the normal line of text.
Morgarella [4.7K]

These are called subscript number.

That is the number below the normal line of test are called subscript number.

This number indicate the indicate the number of atoms of the element present in the chemical formula.

In both of these C₆H₁₂O₆ and H₂O, the number written below the line of the text are called subscript numbers.
