How does the structure of the steroid EXPLAIN the function of the steroid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
5 0

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).

(b) What is the pH of 0.40 M triethylammonium chloride, CH₃ (CH₂)₃ NHCl ?
Valentin [98]

pH of 0.40M triethylammonium chloride is 5.90.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

A solution's acidity may be determined by looking at its pH, which is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. Pure water slightly separates into ions with roughly equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH) ions. [H+] is 107 for a neutral solution, or pH = 7.

<h3>Given : </h3>

Concentration of triethylammonium chloride = 0.40M

pH = ?

<h3>Solution: </h3>

(CH3CH2)3NHCl ------> (CH3CH2)3NH⁺ + Cl⁻

(CH3CH2)3NH⁺ will react with water to give H3O⁺ .

(CH3CH2)3N will have a Kb = 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

Kw = Kb x Ka

=> Ka = Kw / Kb = 10^(-14) / 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

=> Ka = 1.92 x 10^(-11)

so by the reaction we have ,

Ka = x²/(0.40 - x)

=> x = 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)

now, pH = -log( [H3O⁺]) = - log ( 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)) = 5.906

How many moles of water can be obtained from the reaction of 4 moles of O2?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: 8moles

Explanation:

The reaction below shows the formation of 2 moles of water from 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen respectively.

2H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l)

So, if 1 mole of O2 produce 2 mole of H2O

4 moles of O2 will produce Z mole of H2O

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

1 x Z = 4 x 2

Z = 8

So, the equation will be 8H2(g) + 4O2 (g) --> 8H2O(l)

Thus, 4 moles of O2 will produce 8moles of H2O .

Which Of These Is An Indication That A Chemical Reaction Has Occurred?
nikdorinn [45]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Correct option is D. Formation Of A Gas

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The main indication of chemical is that new substances are formed which have different composition than reactant.

<u><em>Freezing of a substance: </em></u>As in this case composition remained  same, so we cant say, chemical reaction is take place, like when water freezes, it composition is same as water , so it is only its physical properties, not chemical.

<u><em>Melting of a substance:</em></u> As in this case composition remained same, so we cant say, chemical reaction is take place, like when ice melts, composition of water remained same , so it its physical properties, not chemical.

<u><em>Boiling of a substance:</em></u> As in this case composition remained same, so we cant say, chemical reaction is take place, like when water boils and become vapors, composition of water and vapors remained same , so it its physical properties, not chemical properties which show its chemical reaction.

<u><em>Formation of gas:</em></u>

In this case, chemical reaction take place. In chemical reactions, new substance are formed whose composition is different from reactants.
