Answer:

B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to

their target cells.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are belongs to the class of chemical compound called steroid. Steroid hormones are majorly secreted by three glands - ovaries, testes and adrenal cortex.

Steroid hormones are released in the blood and are allowed to bind to the specific carrier proteins such as corticosteroid-binding globulin and albumin which helps them to carry to the target cells for the functioning.

The steroid hormone binds to receptor proteins in the target cell and not in the plasma membrane

Hence, the correct answer is "B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to their target cells."

Consider the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas to form iodine monochloride. A reaction mixture at 298.15k initially c

uranmaximum [27]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.

$I_{2} (g) + Cl_{2} (g) -----> 2 ICl (g)$

Step 2 : Set up ICE table

We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction

Following points are considered while drawing ICE table

- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0

- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products

- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Check attached file for ICE table

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation

The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as

$K_{eq} = \frac{[ICl]^{2}}{[I_{2}][Cl_{2}]}$

Step 4 : Solving for x

Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9

Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table

81.9 = $\frac{(2x)^{2}}{(0.437-x) (0.269-x)}$

81.9 = $\frac{(2x)^{2}}{x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118}$

$(2x)^{2} = 81.9 [ x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118]$

$4x^{2} = 81.9x^{2} -57.8x +9.66$

$77.9x^{2} -57.8x+9.66 = 0$

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get

x = 0.488 or x = 0.254

The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.

Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M

Hence, x = 0.254 M

From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x

$[ICl]_{eq} = 2 ( 0.254) = 0.508 M$

The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M

A chemist fills a reaction vessel with 9.20 atm nitrogen monoxide (NO) gas, 9.15 atm chlorine (CI) gas, and 7.70 atm nitrosyl ch

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The reactions free energy $\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of (NO) is $P_{NO} = 9.20 \ atm$

The pressure of (Cl) gas is $P_{Cl} = 9.15 \ atm$

The pressure of nitrosly chloride (NOCl) is $P_{(NOCl)} = 7.70 \ atm$

The reaction is

$2NO_{(g)} + Cl_2 (g)$ ⇆ $2 NOCl_{(g)}$

From the reaction we can mathematically evaluate the $\Delta G^o$ (Standard state free energy ) as

$\Delta G^o = 2 \Delta G^o _{NOCl} - \Delta G^o _{Cl_2} - 2 \Delta G^o _{NO}$

The Standard state free energy for NO is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NO} = 86.55 kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $Cl_2$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{Cl_2} = 0kJ/mol$

The Standard state free energy for $NOCl$ is constant with a value

$\Delta G^o _{NOCl} =66.1kJ/mol$

Now substituting this into the equation

$\Delta G^o = 2 * 66.1 - 0 - 2 * 87.6$

$= -43 kJ/mol$

The pressure constant is evaluated as

$Q = \frac{Pressure \ of \ product }{ Pressure \ of \ reactant }$

Substituting values

$Q = \frac{(7.7)^2 }{(9.2)^2 (9.15) } = \frac{59.29}{774.456}$

$= 0.0765$

The free energy for this reaction is evaluated as

$\Delta G = \Delta G^o + RT ln Q$

Where R is gas constant with a value of $R = 8.314 J / K \cdot mol$

T is temperature in K with a given value of $T = 25+273 = 298 K$

Substituting value

$\Delta G = -43 *10^{3} + 8.314 *298 * ln [0.0765]$

$= -43-6.36$

$\Delta G = -49.36 kJ$
