Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there will be interaction between 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) and Lys residue in the central cavity of hemoglobin then it will change into Ser residue. After that, the it will lead to less stable formation of deoxygenated state (T state).

Since, serine is not a charged amino acid therefore, it will lead to a decrease in the binding affinity of hemoglobin for 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

As a result, stability of the T state will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the T state would be less stable.

lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal

Which term names the metamorphic change to a rock that results mainly from the heat energy of nearby magma? A. local metamorphis
marshall27 [118]
The answer to this question would be: <span>thermal metamorphism
</span>
Metamorphism is a change in the mineral texture without causing the rock to become liquid/magma. In this case, the metamorphic change to the rock is caused by the heat energy or thermal energy of the magma. This kind of mechanism is also called contact mechanism as the thermal energy is transferred by contact so this question option is a bit ambiguous.

0.45 g of hydrated sodium carbonate crystals were heated until 3.87 of anhydrous power remained.
snow_tiger [21]

Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids

If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:

Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)

The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O

The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound

10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so

mass H₂O released :

\tt 10.45-3.87=6.58~g

mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g

mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =

\tt \dfrac{3.87}{105,9888}\div \dfrac{6.58}{18}=0.0365\div 0.3655=1\div 10

_________is a process in which o2 is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions
Kisachek [45]

Answer : The combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

The chemical equation of combustion reaction is:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The combustion reaction is also a redox reaction in which the carbon shows oxidation by the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen and oxygen shows reduction by the addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen.

Hence, the combustion is a process in which oxygen is released as a by-product of oxidation-reduction reactions.

PLEASE HELP!!! The image represents the reaction between a certain number of molecules of N2 and H2.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The leftover reactant is the nitrogen gas, N₂.</em></u>

Explanation:

As per your description:

<u>1. Square on the left: N₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of nitrogen gas, N₂(g).

<u>2. Square on the right: H₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of hydrogen gas, H₂(g).

<u>3. Reaction</u>

If the maximum possible amount of NH₃ is formed during the reaction, you assume that the reaction goes to completion.

The chemical equation that represents the reaction is:

  • N₂(g) +  H₂(g) → NH₃(g)

Which must be balanced:

  • N₂(g) +  3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

That means that 1 molecule (or 1 mol) of N₂(g) reacts with 3 molecules (or 3 moles ) of  H₂(g) to produce 2 molecules (or 2 moles) of NH₃(g).

Since, the squares show that there are 3 molecules of each reactant, the 3 molecules of hydrogen gas will be able to react with 1 molecule of nitrogen gas. When that happens, all the hydrogen gas is consumend and yet two molecules of nitrogen gas will remain unreacted. Hence, the nitrogen gas is the leftover reactant.
