Manganese nodules are considered a valuable resource from the ocean floor because they are abundant and contain not only manganese but also?

Answer:

Option b, Phosphodiester bond

Explanation:

Proteins are sequence of amino acids. Two amino acids are joined by peptide  bond. Therefore, proteins are also known as sequence of polypeptide chains.  These polypeptides chains have four level of structures:

Primary structure

secondary structure

Tertiary structure

Quaternary structure

Primary structure is simply a sequence of amino acids. In secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structure, various interactions are present.

Disulfide bond, hydrogen bond and salt bridge stabilizes tertiary structure of the protein.

Phosphodiester bond is present as link between two nucleotides and thus, present in the backbone of nucleic acid (RNA and DNA)

Therefore, the correct option is option b

Among disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, and phosphodiester bonds, the latter does not contribute to the stabilization of the tertiary structure of a protein. Instead, phosphodiester bonds are crucial in the formation of nucleic acids.

In regards to protein structure, the interaction types that contribute to the stabilization of the tertiary structure of a protein include disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and salt bridges.

Disulfide bonds are covalent bonds between two sulfur atoms that stabilize the protein structure. Hydrogen bonds are weak forces of attraction between the hydrogen atom in one molecule and an electronegative atom in another. Salt bridges are ionic bonds between amino acid side chains that also stabilize the protein structure.

However, the phosphodiester bond does not play a role in tertiary protein structure. This type of bond is important in the formation of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, where it links the 3' carbon of one nucleotide to the 5' carbon of another. It serves a different purpose in molecular biology and does not contribute to the stabilization of the tertiary structure of a protein.

If an evaluating committee places the burden of proof of the safety of a new chemical on the manufacturer of the chemical, then the committee is using the precautionary principle

Explanation:

This is a method that is used to handle the problems that are related in affecting any person. This principle mainly aims in determining the safety of any new thing before it is released to the public. This will test whether the new thing does not make harm or destroy anything before it is introduced to public.

For instance let us take an example of a medicine introduction. Any new tablets when it is discovered must be tested. Without any testing, releasing it to public will only have adverse effect on them. The given scenario also relates with the precautionary principle since, the safety is considered as an important one by the evaluating committee.

Because of less weight kick ball has more acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration of kick ball:

5 m/s

Acceleration of soccer ball:

3 m/s

Newton's second law:

According to newton's second law the acceleration of object depends upon two variables.

1) Mass of object

2) Force acting on it

Mathematical expression:

a = f/m

a = acceleration

f = force

m = mass

The force on balls are same thus the acceleration is depend upon the masses of balls.

The soccer ball has more weight that's why its acceleration is less while kick ball is lighter and thus its acceleration will more.

Answer:

Based on Newton's second law, if the balls are kicked with the same force, the one with less mass will have a greater acceleration. Since the kickball accelerates more than the soccer ball, it has less mass.

Answer:

1.4moles

Explanation:

From the balanced equation below;

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

2moles of hydrogen reacts with 1mole of oxygen to produce 2moles of water.

since we are only interested in comparing hydrogen and water, we can say 2moles of hydrogen will produce 2moles of water

Hence by comparism of moles;

1.4moles of hydrogen will produce 1.4moles of water

In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, the formation of water from hydrogen gas is a 1:1 ratio. Thus, 1.4 moles of hydrogen gas would produce 1.4 moles of water.

Analyzing balanced chemical equations is a fundamental approach to determine the stoichiometry of a chemical reaction. In this case, the equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O provides crucial information regarding the mole ratios of reactants and products. It signifies that 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) react completely with 1 mole of oxygen gas (O2) to yield 2 moles of water (H2O).

Therefore, when 1.4 moles of hydrogen gas are fully consumed in the reaction, the stoichiometry reveals that an equivalent amount, 1.4 moles, of water will be generated. This clear and direct correlation underscores the predictive power of balanced chemical equations in understanding the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Answer:

The new total body concentration would be 300 mOsM

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to convert all concentrations to moles.

First, with the total body concentration, we have the initial volume of 3 liters and the concentration of 300 M (I will omit til the end the part of mOs)

The moles of the body concentration in this volume is:

moles = M * V

moles = 300 * 3 = 900 moles

To this moles, we add 150 moles of NaCL so, the total moles now is:

moles = 900 + 150 = 1050 moles

Finally, we can calculate the concentration with the new volume of 3.5 L (the sum of 3 and 0.5 liters added):

M = 1050 / 3.5

M = 300 mOsM

So the concentration remains the same as initial

Ratio is 1:1 between reactants and products.

The coefficient of LiH is 1

Li2O(s)+H2O(l)→2LiOH(aq)

Answer:

Option 5. 21.7 %

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction:

2Al (s) + 6HCl (l) → 3H₂ (g) + AlCl₃ (aq)

We have the data of hydrogen, we formed so let's apply the Ideal Gases Law equation to solve the amount of gas.

P . V = n . R . T

1.03 atm . 1.53L = n . 0.082 L.atm . 298K

(1.03 atm . 1.53L) / (0.082 L.atm . 298K) = n → 0.0645 moles of H₂

In the reaction, 3 moles of H₂ are produced by 2 moles of Al. Let's determine, how many moles of Al produced, the 0.0645 moles of H₂.

3 moles of H₂ were produced by 2 moles of Al

Then, 0.0645 moles of H₂ would be produced by (0.0645 .2)/3 = 0.043 moles.

If we convert the moles to mass, we can know the mass of Al in the alloy. (mol . molar mass)

0.043 m . 26.98 g/mol = 1.16 g

As the sample had a mass of 5.34 g, let's determine the % of Al.

(1.16 g / 5.34 g) . 100 = 21.7%

Answer:

[C₆H₁₂O₆] = 0.17M

Explanation:

3% by mass, means 3 g of solute in 100 g of solution.

Density is mass / volume. This data always refers to solution.

Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

1.0097 g/mL = 100 g / Solution volume

Solution volume = 100 g / 1.0097 g/mL → 99.03 mL

Let's convert the mL to L, for molarity (mol/L)

99.03 mL = 0.09903 L

Now we have to find out the moles. Let's calculate them with the molar mass

(mass / molar mass)

3 g / 180 g/mol = 0.0166 mol

Molarity is mol/L → 0.0166 mol/0.09903 L → 0.17 M

The molarity of dextrose in a 3.00% by mass aqueous solution, with a density of 1.0097 g/mL, is calculated to be approximately 0.168 M by dividing the number of moles of dextrose (0.01665 mol) by the volume of the solution in liters (0.09903 L).

To calculate the molarity of dextrose in the solution, we'll first need to understand that molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. Here, the solution is 3.00% by mass dextrose. This means that in 100 grams of the solution, there are 3 grams of dextrose.

Using the density of the solution (1.0097 g/mL), we'll calculate the volume that 100 grams of the solution occupies:

100 grams of solution contains 3 grams of dextrose. With the molar mass of dextrose (C6H12O6) being 180.16 g/mol, we calculate the number of moles in those 3 grams:

To find the molarity, we need the volume in liters:

Thus, the molarity (M) is:

The molarity of dextrose in the solution is approximately 0.168 M.

The mass of the magnesium that is produced is  [tex]2.1 * 10^{-8[/tex] g.

The ideal gas equation can also be expressed in different forms to solve for different parameters. For example, it can be rearranged to find the molar volume (V/n) or the number of moles (n) when other variables are known.

We have that;

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = [tex]3.4 * 10^{-6[/tex] * 0.432/62.4 * 55

n = [tex]4.3 * 10^{-10[/tex] moles

If 2 moles of Mg produces 1 mole of oxygen

x moles of oxygen produces  [tex]4.3 * 10^{-10[/tex] moles of oxygen

x =[tex]8.6 * 10^{-10[/tex] moles

Answer:

C₃H₈  +  5O₂  →  3CO₂  +  4H₂O

Option D.

Explanation:

This is a combustion reaction, where a compound reacts with oxygen to produce CO₂ and water.

You have to look at the reactants and the products.

C₃H₈  +  O₂  →  CO₂  +  H₂O

To balance you must have the same atoms of each elements in both sides.

Actually we have 3 C, 8 H and 2 O in reactant side and 1 C, 3 O and 2H in product side.

We can add 4 to water to have 8 H in product side to balance the H with reactants but we modified the amount of oxygens. Now, we have 4 O in water and 2 O from CO₂ (6 in total).

In reactant side, we have 3 C, therefore we add 3 to CO₂ and now, we have 3 C on both sides and 8 H in both sides, so, as in product side we have 10 O, 6 from CO₂ and 4 from water, we must add a 5 to balance in reactant side.  The balance equation will be:

B. 0.075 m (NH4)3PO4

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to recall the van´t Hoff factor, i, for the colligative properties of electrolyte solutions which appears as the consequence that electrolytes disociate completely in their solutions in water.

Thus in this problem we need to determine i and then realize the one with the lowest freezing point will have the biggest  i ( all the concentrations are equal) since

ΔTf = i m Kf

Substance  van´t Hoff factor

Li I                             2

(NH4)3PO4              4

NaIO4                       2

KCN                          2

KNO2                       2

The correct answer is B. 0.075 m (NH4)3PO4

The aqueous solution with the lowest freezing point is 0.075 m (NH4)3PO4 because it dissociates into the highest number of particles, leading to the greatest freezing point depression.

To find the aqueous solution with the lowest freezing point, we need to determine the effective concentration of solute particles after dissociation. Freezing point depression is larger for solutions with a higher number of dissolved particles. Therefore, we must consider the van't Hoff factor (i), which is the number of particles a compound dissociates into in solution. For example, LiI (i=2), NaIO4 (i=1), and KCN (i=2) will produce fewer particles than (NH4)3PO4, which will dissociate into four particles (i=4).

Given that the molal concentrations (m) are the same, the solution with the highest van't Hoff factor will have the highest concentration of particles and therefore, the lowest freezing point. Hence, solution B, 0.075 m (NH4)3PO4, with an effective concentration of 0.3 m (0.075 m × 4), will have the lowest freezing point.

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As per Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

For example, [tex]H_{2}O(g) + SO_{3}(g) \rightleftarrow H_{2}SO_{4}(g)[/tex]

As this given reaction is endothermic in the forward direction and exothermic in the backward direction. Thus, in order to shift the reaction on left side we need to decrease the temperature.

Also, the number of moles are more on reactant side as compared to product side. So, when we decrease the number of moles on reactant side then the equilibrium will shift on left side.

Therefore, we can conclude that for the given reaction decreasing the pressure of the system and lowering the temperature of the system would shift the reaction to the left.

Final answer:

Decreasing the pressure of the system and lowering the temperature for the reaction H₂O(g) + SO₃(g) ⇔ H₂SO₄(g) both shift the equilibrium to the left because Le Chatelier's Principle dictates that the system will counteract changes by shifting towards more gas molecules (when pressure decreases) and by absorbing heat (when temperature is lowered for an endothermic reaction).

Explanation:

To determine how changes in pressure and temperature affect the equilibrium of the reaction H₂O(g) + SO₃(g) ⇒H₂SO₄(g), Le Chatelier's Principle can be applied. This principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions, the system will adjust to partially counteract the effect of the change.

For the reaction given, if we decrease the pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with more gas molecules to increase the pressure again. Since the left side has two moles of gas and the right side has only one, decreasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left.

Regarding temperature, since it's an endothermic reaction, heat can be considered a reactant. So, if we lower the temperature, the system will shift towards the side that absorbs heat to counteract the decrease in temperature, which would be shifting the equilibrium to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. decreasing, lowering.

Answer:

[OH⁻] → 1×10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

pH = - log [H⁺]

pOH = - log [OH⁻]

pH + pOH = 14

4 + pOH = 14

14 - 4 = 10 → pOH

10^-pOH = [OH⁻]

10⁻¹⁰ = [OH⁻] → 1×10⁻¹⁰

The pOH of the lake is 10 (calculated by subtracting the pH from 14), and the hydroxide ion concentration of the lake is 10^(-10) moles per liter, obtained by raising 10 to the power of the negative pOH.

The pH of a solution is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration, and the pOH is a measure of the hydroxide ion concentration. In water, pH and pOH are related to each other, and have a sum of 14 at room temperature. When the pH of the solution is given, you can find the pOH by subtracting the pH from 14. In this case, the pH of the lake is 4.0, so the pOH would be 14 - 4 = 10. The concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution can be calculated using the formula 10^(-pOH). So, the hydroxide ion concentration of the lake is 10^(-10) moles per liter.

Hence when, at very high temperatures, diamond which consists of carbon is burnt we have

Diamond (Carbon)+ Oxygen → CO2

Also when water is electrolysed it decomposes as follows

2H2O → 2H2 + O2

Answer:

9.1L

Explanation:

Firstly, to solve the problem, we need a balanced chemical equation.

2H2 + O2 ———> 2H2O

2 moles of hydrogen reacted one mole of oxygen. Now, we know that at STP, one mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4L, now let us get the number of moles in 4.55L of oxygen.

This means 4.55/22.4 = 0.203125 mole

Since in theory we have 2 moles of hydrogen reacting one mole of oxygen. Hence the number of moles of hydrogen we have is 0.203125 * 2 = 0.40625 mole

We now proceed to get the volume of hydrogen gas. Since 1 mole is 22.4L, then

0.40625 Is 0.40625 * 22.4 = 9.1L

To react with 4.55 L of oxygen gas completely, you need 9.10 L of hydrogen gas. This follows the balanced chemical equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, which indicates a 2:1 ratio between hydrogen and oxygen volumes.

To determine the volume of hydrogen gas needed to react completely with 4.55 L of oxygen gas to produce water vapor, we begin with the balanced chemical equation:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

This tells us that 2 volumes of hydrogen gas react with 1 volume of oxygen gas. Therefore, to find the necessary volume of hydrogen gas:

Recognize the stoichiometric ratio from the equation: 2 volumes of hydrogen gas (H₂) react with 1 volume of oxygen gas (O₂).  

Given that there are 4.55 L of oxygen gas, apply the ratio:

Volume of H₂ needed = 2 times the volume of O₂ = 2 x 4.55 L = 9.10 L

Thus, 9.10 L of hydrogen gas is required to react completely with 4.55 L of oxygen gas under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.

Partia pressure N₂ → 0.975 atm

Explanation:

Let's analyse the moles fractions:

N₂ → 0.25

O₂ → 0.65

He → 0.1

Partial pressure / Total pressure = Mole fraction

Partial pressure N₂ / 3.9 atm = Mole fraction N₂

Partial pressure N₂ / 3.9 atm = 0.25

Partial pressure N₂ = 3.9 atm . 0.25 → 0.975 atm

The pressure of nitrogen in the mixture has been 0.975 atm.

Partial pressure has been defined as the pressure exerted by the gas molecules in the mixture. The partial pressure ([tex]P_A[/tex])  has been expressed as:

[tex]P_A=X_A\;\times\;P[/tex]

Where,  Mole fraction of the element A, [tex]X_{N_2}=0.25\;\rm atm[/tex]

Answer:

Serine will be on the exterior of the globular protein while leucine on the interior of the globular proteins

Explanation:

The nature or solubility of the side cham determines the poition of amino acid on the globular protein and it is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

Serine is an hydrophilic amino acid and so it is position on the surface of the globular protein (Exterior)

While Leucine side chain is hydrophobic in nature is positioned on the interior of the globular protein.

Leucine, a non-polar amino acid, tends to be in the interior of globular proteins while serine, a polar amino acid, is often found on the surface.

In an aqueous environment of globular proteins, the position of an amino acid is influenced by the polar or non-polar nature of its R group or side chain. Leucine, with a non-polar R group, prefers to stay in the interior part of the protein, away from the water, because non-polar R groups are hydrophobic. On the other hand, serine, with a polar R group, tends to stay on the surface, close to the water, due to its hydrophilic or water-attracting nature.

Answer:

(a). Biological fixation

(b). Fixation by lightning

Explanation:

Gaseous nitrogen in the atmosphere has to be converted or "fixed" into a suitable form before it can be utilised by living organisms.

There two main ways of nitrogen fixation are

(a). Biological fixation: Majority (approximately 90%) of nitrogen fixation is carried out by bacteria. Bacterias such as Cyanobacteria transforms nitrogen into ammonium and ammonia : N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3. The produced ammonia can then be taken in directly by plants and /or the conversion products of ammonium and ammonia may further react in the process of nitrification.

(b). Fixation by lightning: Lightning energy causes the combination nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) forming nitrates (NO3) and ammonia (NH3) . Rain water dissolves the formed nitrates and ammonia and the solution is drained into the ground, where they can be reached by plants plant roots for consumption.

Biological nitrogen fixation and lightning are the major natural processes responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen to useable forms.

Nitrogen gas goes into the soil from the atmosphere, and nitrogen fixing bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants.

Whereas, Lightning converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate (NO3) that comes to the soil with the help of rainfall.
