An electrically neutral atom consists of 15 neutrons, 13 electrons, and a number

Chemistry

Anna71 [15]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:c

Explanation: it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28

Stephanie is incorrect. Since fossil fuels form in the absence of oxygen, if oxygen is present, they cannot form.

6. Lysozyme is an enzyme that hydrolyzes sugar linkages in the bacterial cell wall and was first discovered by Alexander Fleming

balu736 [363]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The Cys3-cys97 and cys21-cys142 disulfides restrict the unfolded state of lysozyme enzyme to a class of more compact structures with a less exposed hydrophobic surface, compared to the unfolded states of reduced/non-crosslinked lysozyme. there are 2 major factors which lead to the stabilization of lysozyme due to disulfide bonds-

1- increase in the loop size due to the formation of disulfide bonds that leads to an increase in the even entropic effect.

2- the region formed should be flexible. the strain energy due to the formation of the disulfide bond is lower.

cys21-cys142 has a higher Tm than the cys3-cys97 because it involves flexible parts of the molecule. 21 and 142 residues are located on opposite sides of the active-site cleft where significant hinge-bending motion is seen. this introduces minimal strain in the protein.

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3
