Answer:

Scientists know that today the Earth's magnetic field is powered by the solidification of the planet's liquid iron core. The cooling and crystallization of the core stirs up the surrounding liquid iron, creating powerful electric currents that generate a magnetic field stretching far out into space.

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.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of 5.6 °C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf-7.78 °C-kg·mol-1.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

27.60 g urea

Explanation:

The freezing-point depression is expressed by the formula:

ΔT= Kf * m

In this case,

ΔT = 5.6 - (-0.9) = 6.5 °C

Kf = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹

m is the molality of the urea solution in X (mol urea/kg of X)

First we calculate the molality:

6.5 °C = 7.78 °C kg·mol⁻¹ * m

m = 0.84 m

Now we calculate the moles of urea that were dissolved:

550 g X ⇒ 550 / 1000 = 0.550 kg X

0.84 m = mol Urea / 0.550 kg X

mol Urea = 0.46 mol

Finally we calculate the mass of urea, using its molecular weight:

0.46 mol * 60.06 g/mol = 27.60 g urea

How does concentration affect our daily lives in science?

statuscvo [17]

1. Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period.

2. Physical state of the reactants and surface area.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.
