Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

(c) 7,600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm

Why is current more dangerous than voltage?
Serga [27]
The higher the current, the more likely it is lethal. Since current is proportional to voltage when resistance is fixed (ohm's law), high voltage is an indirect risk for producing higher currents.

When a mixture of sulfur and metallic silver is heated, silver sulfide is produced. What mass of silver sulfide is produced from
IgorLugansk [536]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

When a mixture of sulfur and metallic silver is heated, silver sulfide is produced. What mass of silver sulfide is produced from a mixture of 3.0g Ag and 3.0g S_8.

Answer : The mass of silver sulfide is produced from a mixture is 3.44 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Ag = 3.0 g

Mass of S_8 = 3.0 g

Molar mass of Ag = 107.8 g/mole

Molar mass of S_8 = 256 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag_2S = 247.8 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Ag and S_8.

\text{ Moles of }Ag=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Ag}{\text{ Molar mass of }Ag}=\frac{3.0}{107.8g/mole}=0.0278moles

\text{ Moles of }S_8=\frac{\text{ Mass of }S_8}{\text{ Molar mass of }S_8}=\frac{3.0g}{256g/mole}=0.0117moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

16Ag(s)+S_8(s)\rightarrow 8Ag_2S(s)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 16 mole of Ag react with 1 mole of S_8

So, 0.0278 moles of Ag react with \frac{0.0278}{16}=0.00174 moles of S_8

From this we conclude that, S_8 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Ag is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of Ag_2S

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 16 mole of Ag react to give 8 mole of Ag_2S

So, 0.0278 moles of Ag react to give \frac{0.0278}{16}\times 8=0.0139 moles of Ag_2S

Now we have to calculate the mass of Ag_2S

\text{ Mass of }Ag_2S=\text{ Moles of }Ag_2S\times \text{ Molar mass of }Ag_2S

\text{ Mass of }Ag_2S=(0.0139moles)\times (247.8g/mole)=3.44g

Therefore, the mass of silver sulfide is produced from a mixture is 3.44 grams.

Why do we need an isolated system for the law of conservation of mass to be true?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
