Chemistry

AleksandrR [38]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

Amino acids, along with glucose, are reabsorbed in the glomerular system with a passive or active mechanism as the fluid travels through the entire renal tubular system and enters the circulation again.

Active mechanisms are those that require expenditure of energy, that is, expenditure of the energy currency, while the passive ones do not, they occur through spontaneous non-energy processes such as osmosis, the osmotic gradient and the difference in concentrations in different compartments.

Explanation:

Glomerular filtration is the regulator of the excretion of metabolites and toxic molecules or not necessary for our body. That is why if the amino acid values ​​are high as well as those of glucose in urine, we will be facing a pathology.

If glucose is increased, it is because there is a glycemic peak in blood volume, hence possible diabetes.

And if the amino acids are increased, we could be facing an autoimmune or proteolytic pathology where a large amount of body proteins such as muscle proteins would be breaking down and releasing the amino acids that make it up, this phenomenon usually appears in those people who suffer from rhabdomyolysis in expenses very intense energy sources not appropriate.

On the other hand, glomerular filtration occurs in the kidney and is carried out by the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney, within it there is a specific tubular system in collection, absorption and reabsorption, added to the presence of Bowman's capsule.

A sample of CO2 is collected over water at 23oC. If the total pressure of the sample is 734 torr, and the vapor pressure of wate
noname [10]

Answer:

The partial pressure of CO2 is 712,8 in torr

Explanation:

Molar fraction = Pressure in a compound / Total Pressure

Molar fraction H20 = 21,2 / 734 = 0,0288

Sum of molar fraction in a sample = 1

1 - 0,0288 = 0,9712 (molar fraction of CO2)

Molar fraction CO2 = Pressure CO2 / Total pressure

0,9712 . 734 = Pressure CO2

712,8 =Pressure CO2

Use average bond energies to calculate ΔHrxn for the following hydrogenation reaction: H2C=CH2(g)+H2(g)→H3C−CH3(g)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The\Delta H_{rxn} of the given reaction is -129.6 kJ

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is as follows.

H_{2}C=CH_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow H_{3}C-CH_{3}(g)

Enthalpy of each reactant and products are as follows.

\Delta H_{C=C}\,=615.0\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{H-H}\,=435.1\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{C-C}\,=347.3\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{C-H}\,=416.2\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

In the given chemical reaction involved two C-H bonds in the reactant side and one C-C bond in the product side therefore, the enthalpy of formation will be the negative.

\Delta H_{rxn}=-\Delta H_{C-C}-2\Delta H_{C-H}+\Delta H_{C=C}+\Delta H_{H-H}

=-347.4-2\times416.2+615.0+435.1

=-129.6 \,kJ

Therefore, The\Delta H_{rxn} of the given reaction is -129.6 kJ

The molecular mass of air, at standard pressure and temperature, is approximately 28.97 g/mol. Calculate the mass of 3.33 moles
poizon [28]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

               Mass = 96.47 g

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                  M.Mass  =  28.97 g.mol⁻¹

                  Moles  =  3.33 mol

                  Mass  =  ??

Formula Used:

                  Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Solving for Mass,

                  Mass  =  Moles × M.Mass

Putting values,

                  Mass  =  3.33 mol × 28.97 g.mol⁻¹

                  Mass  =  96.4701 g

Rounding to four significant numbers,

                 Mass = 96.47 g

Phosphorous acid, H3PO3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. K pKa1 K pKa2 1.30
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

* Before addition of any KOH:

pH = 0,0301

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

pH = 1,30

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

pH = 2,87

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

pH = 6,70

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

pH = 10,7

Explanation:

H₃PO₃ has the following equilibriums:

H₃PO₃ ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ H⁺

k = [H₂PO₃⁻] [H⁺] / [H₃PO₃] k = 10^-(1,30) <em>(1)</em>

H₂PO₃⁻ ⇄ HPO₃²⁻ + H⁺

k = [HPO₃²⁻] [H⁺] / [H₂PO₃⁻] k = 10^-(6,70) <em>(2)</em>

Moles of H₃PO₃ are:

0,0500L×(1,8mol/L) = 0,09 moles of H₃PO₃

* Before addition of any KOH:

Using (1), moles in equilibrium are:

H₃PO₃: 0,09-x

H₂PO₃⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-1.30} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.51x10⁻³ - 0.050x -x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.0466589

As volume is 0,050L

[H⁺] = 0.0466589moles / 0,050L = 0,933M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 0,0301</em>

*After addition of 25.0 mL KOH:

0,025L×1,8M = 0,045 moles of KOH that reacts with H₃PO₃ thus:

KOH + H₃PO₃ → H₂PO₃⁻ + H₂O

That means moles of KOH will be the same of H₂PO₃⁻ and moles of H₃PO₃ are 0,09moles - 0,045moles = 0,045moles

Henderson-Hasselbalch formula is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] /[HA]

Where A⁻ is H₂PO₃⁻ and HA is H₃PO₃.

Replacing:

pH = 1,30 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 1,30</em>

*After addition of 50.0 mL KOH:

The addition of 50.0 mL KOH consume all H₃PO₃. Thus, in the solution you will have just H₂PO₃⁻. Thus, moles in solution for the equilibrium will be:

H₂PO₃⁻: 0,09-x

HPO₃²⁻: x

H⁺: x

Replacing:

10^{-6.70} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

1.8x10⁻⁸ - 2x10⁻⁷x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000134064

As volume is 50,0mL + 50,0mL = 100,0mL

[H⁺] = 0.000134064moles / 0,100L = 1.34x10⁻³M

As pH = -log [H⁺]

<em>pH = 2,87</em>

*After addition of 75.0 mL KOH:

Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch formula you will have 0,045 moles of both H₂PO₃⁻ HPO₃²⁻ and pka: 6,70:

pH = 6,70 + log₁₀ [0,045mol] / [0,045mol]

<em>pH = 6,70</em>

*After addition of 100.0 mL KOH:

You will have just 0,09moles of HPO₃²⁻, the equilibrium will be:

HPO₃²⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂PO₃⁻ + OH⁻ with kb = kw/ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/10^-(6,70) = 5,01x10⁻⁸

kb = [H₂PO₃⁻] [OH⁻] / [HPO₃²⁻]

Moles are:

H₂PO₃⁻: x

OH⁻: x

HPO₃²⁻: 0,09-x

Replacing:

5.01x10^{-8} = \frac{x^2}{0.09-x}

4.5x10⁻⁹ - 5.01x10⁻⁸x - x² = 0

The right solution of x is:

x = 0.000067057

As volume is 50,0mL + 100,0mL = 150,0mL

[OH⁻] = 0.000067057moles / 0,150L = 4.47x10⁻⁴M

As pH = 14-pOH; pOH = -log [OH⁻]

<em>pH = 10,7</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin
lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group:  R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a  <u>sp³</u>  hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.
