. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia.
(2 marks)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.

In this experiment, you will need to prepare 250.0 mL of 0.100 M KCl(aq) solution. Determine the mass in grams of potassium chloride required to prepare this solution. Type your numerical answer (no units) in the box below. Even though the number of significant figures is limited to three by the inputs, please report your answer to four significant figures.

Answers

Answer: The mass in grams of potassium chloride required to prepare this solution is 1.862 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in ml

moles of [tex]KCl[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{74.5g/mol}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

[tex]0.100=\frac{x\times 1000}{74.5g/mol\times 250.0ml}[/tex]

[tex]x=1.862g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass in grams of potassium chloride required to prepare this solution is 1.862 grams

Commercial soaps are mixtures of ionic compounds typically made up of monatomic cations, such as Na and K , and organic polyatomic anions derived from fatty acids. These negatively charged molecular ions are characterized by the presence of hydrocarbon chains which are 12 to 18 carbon atoms long. How hard (solid, insoluble) or soft (liquid, soluble) a soap is depends on the nature of the anions and cations present in the system. Analyze how each of the following factors may affect the hardness or softness of soaps:
1. The nature of the cations. For example, Na* vs Li* vs K.
2. The length of the hydrocarbon chain. For example, 12 carbons (laureate lon), 14 carbons (myristate lon), or 18 carbons (stearate lon).

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For question 1:

The sodium soap containing Na+ is strong whereas the softer or liquids were potassium soap.It's hard to use lithium soap.These  Na+, K+, and Li+ ions act as the hydrophilic center.Calcium and Magnesium ions could be substituted by hard water with increasing hydrophilicity.

For question 2:

The hydrophobicity of its carbon chain increases but one appears weaker with only an increased length.Therefore, the laureate is hard, while the stearate is soft.

Why does the rate of the reaction decrease over time? Why does the rate of the reaction decrease over time? Exothermic reactions lose heat which cools the reaction which decreases reaction rate. Not all molecules will react and some choose to stay in their present form. As the reaction proceeds, a decrease in the concentration of reactants results in fewer successful collisions. As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of the products results in fewer collisions. none of the above

Answers

Answer: The rate of the reaction decrease over time as the reaction proceeds, a decrease in the concentration of reactants results in fewer successful collisions.  

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the change in concentration of products and reactants with respect to time.

The rate of a reaction decreases with times because reactants are converting into products.

As a result, the reaction is proceeding with a decrease in the concentration of reactants due to which less number of collisions between the reactant molecules will be there.

Hence, rate of reaction will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that the rate of the reaction decrease over time as the reaction proceeds, a decrease in the concentration of reactants results in fewer successful collisions.

Determine la temperatura Kelvin de 2.49 moles de gas contenido en un
recipiente de 1.0 L a una presión de 143 kPa. *

Answers

La temperatura del gas contenido en el recipiente es de -259,35 ° C
Explicación:
Para encontrar la unidad de grados en Celsius (° C) en este caso, se usa la ecuación de la ley de los gases ideales.
PV = nRT
Donde P es la presión, V es el volumen, T es la temperatura, n es el número de moles y R es la constante universal de los gases.
P = 143 kPa = 1,4113 atmósferas
V = 2,00 L
n = 2,49 mol
R = 0.08205746 atm * L / mol * K
Resolver para T sería: PV / nR
T = (1.4113 atm * 2.00 L) / (2.49 mol * 0.08205746 atm * L / mol * K)
T = 2,8226 / 0,2043
T = 13,8 K = -259,35 ° C

The simulation which is least suitable to scientists for solving a problem is when performing an experiment that would be too costly or dangerous to conduct in the real world.

What is scientific approach?

Scientific approach is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge and result. This method involved the careful observation of the problem, applying skepticism about the problem and giving cognitive assumptions also.

If a scientist wants to investigate several problems, then they will perform a large no. of trials at regular intervals to get the required result. But if performing of any experiment is dangerous to conduct in the real world then scientists will ignore to solve that problem.

How many moles of nitrogen are required to produce 13.5 grams of NH3

Answers

Answer:

0.794 moles

Explanation:

Gviven that:

TO find the number of moles of nitrogen (N) using the formula:

number of moles  = mass /molar mass

where;

the molar mass for NH3 = 14 +( 1 × 3) = 17 g/mol

number of moles of (N) = mass of N/molar mass

= 13.5 g/17 g/mol

How many liters of chlorine are needed to produce 5.64 moles of aluminum chloride? Need help ASAP

Answers

Answer:

190 L

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles = 5.64

molar mass of aluminum chloride = 133.34 g/mol

The balanced equation is:

2 Al + 3 Cl2 --> 2AlCl3.

From above reaction:

5.64 mole of  AlCl3 reacts with 3 mole Cl2  to give 2 mole AlCl3

i.e

[tex](5.64 \ mole \ AlCl3) \times (3 \ mole \ Cl2 \ / \ 2 \ mole \ AlCl3)[/tex]

= 8.46 mole Cl2 gas.

At Standard temperature and pressure:

= (22.4 L/1 mole gas) * (8.46 mole Cl2)

= 190 L chlorine gas
