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.

<span>It rises confidence for the reason that the more times you conduct the similar experiment over and over should either demonstrate your hypothesis right and wrong and remove any random incidences that might touch your results.

Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

It is neutral (NR)

Explanation:

Salts are formed when the ionizable hydrogens in an acid is replaced by metallic or ammonium ions from bases. The reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.

The nature of a salt formed from this reaction depends on the nature of the reacting acid and base.

If the reaction is between a strong acid and strong base, the salt produced is a neutral salt.

If the reaction occurs between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt produced is acidic.

If the reaction occurs between a strong base and a weak acid, the salt produced is a basic salt.

Considering the salt above, LiNO3.

On hydrolysis, addition of water, the following products are obtained:

LiNO3 + H2O ----> LiOH + HNO3

The products obtained, LiOH and HNO3 are a strong base and a strong acid respectively. Therefore, the salt, LiNO3, is a neutral salt.

How many liters of oxygen gas can be produced at stp from the decomposition of 0.250 l of 3.00 m h2o2 in the reaction according
Wewaii [24]

the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of H₂O₂ is as follows

2H₂O₂ ---> 2H₂O + O₂

stoichiometry of H₂O₂ to O₂ is 2:1

the number of moles of H₂O₂ decomposed is - 0.250 L x 3.00 mol/L = 0.75 mol

according to stoichiometry the number of O₂ moles is half the number of H₂O₂ moles decomposed

number of moles of O₂ - 0.75 mol / 2 = 0.375 mol

apply the ideal gas law equation to find the volume

PV = nRT

where P - standard pressure - 10⁵ Pa

V - volume

n - number of moles 0.375 mol

R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

T - standard temperature - 273 K

substituting the values in the equation

10⁵ Pa x V = 0.375 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K

V = 8.5 L

volume of O₂ gas is 8.5 L

an unknown metal of mass 512 g at a temperature of 15C is dropped into 325 g of water held in a 100 g aluminum container at the
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C

Explanation:

Hello,

To determine the specific heat capacity of the metal, we have to work on the principle of heat loss by the metal is equals to heat gained by the water.

Heat gained by the metal = heat loss by water + calorimeter

Data,

Mass of metal (M1) = 512g

Mass of water (M2) = 325g

Initial temperature of the metal (T1) = 15°C

Initial temperature of water (T2) = 98°C

Final temperature of the mixture (T3) = 78°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = ?

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Heat loss = heat gain

M2C2(T2 - T3) = M1C1(T3 - T1)

325 × 4.184 × (98 - 78) = 512 × C1 × (78 - 15)

1359.8 × 20 = 512C1 × 63

27196 = 32256C1

C1 = 27196 / 32256

C1 = 0.843J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C
