    Hello guys, For Chemistry we have performed a gaschromatography experiment with a nano2-gaschromatograph with nonpolar/apolar column. The stationary phase is probably a GLC but we aren't sure since we weren't informed on it and I don't know whether it'll be relevant to the question I'm gonna ask. For the experiment, we had to identify the substances in the gas of liquid lighters, and capture their retention time. Now the question we were asked: What can you change from the experiment to make the peaks (the retentiontime) of the different substances further away from each other in the chromatogram? I am still in high school so I probably know nothing about un…

    The obvious answer is that there is no glycogen left, but I recall that it proceeds more slowly with time during a fast. A table in the notes shows consumption declining over time. I recall that there is some kind of control that governs this slowing of glycogen degradation, but I can't remember the name of the process, feedback, or enzyme that is responsible. I have tried Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry, Silverthorn Human Physiology , the class notes, and Google. They were all a no go. the way the question is worded I am looking for something that acts on phosphatase 1 and phosphorylase.

    So I've read several journals about isoflavon and blood glucose, and how they tested it on diabetic rats... journals concluded that this isoflavon can lower blood glucose but I can't seem to understand how so... Can someone help explain to me briefly?? Because I read several journals, some said it's due to its estrogenic effects, but I thought oestrogen makes you gain weight instead because it's "fat"?? Like, what does it do to our blood glucose levels? I also read that it stimulates cell's response towards insulin, but can't seem to understand it completely either... I know this is not the "homework answer" kind of thing.. I just need help in understanding and a …

Calculate the net number of ATP that can be generated from four (4) molecules of glucose in the liver. Assume that this is occurring under optimal conditions. Show all workings. (150 words) Would the same number of ATP be produced if the four molecules of glucose were being metabolised in the muscle tissue? How many ATP would be generated?

  10. Ok that is the question, the first part anyways. It does not make sense due to "VOLTAGE drop" (I think?) but I do not get why it doesn't resist CURRENT? I guess I am just confused about Ohm's Law in general. I get the formula of current equals voltage over resistance but I am just super confused. Thanks in advance

    As usual, I am having a real tough time with this... I have attached my work I have done and the questions. PV=nRT where R is a constant @ ((.08026 L) x (atm)/ (K) x (mol) ) So if I could air out my thought process here to so you guys could help me determine what I am doing wrong in my thinking. I am looking at the column of air in which the bubble passes as a prism so I can gather the volume. I know that the density of both H20 and Hg are given and are 1.025g/cm3 & 13.6g/cm3 respectively. So now that I have density I can gather some information in terms of D=(Mass/Volume) Therefore: H20 ((1.025g)/1cm3) or ((1.025g)/1mL) ((13.6g)/1cm3) or ((13.6…

  14. Acceleration of a Mass in a Pulley System Block 1 of mass m1 slides on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ with respect to the horizontal. One end of a massless inextensible string is attached to block 1. The string is wound around a frictionless movable pulley P of negligible mass and is also attached to the wall at the base of the inclined plane. Pulley P is connected by a second massless inextensible string to block 2 of mass m2 via a second, frictionless pulley that is fixed in place. Block 2 hangs over the end of the inclined plane (see figure). The downward gravitational acceleration is g. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of block 2 after the syste…

    So, I have currently written out my equation for H2O, this being (determining molar mass): 2x(1.01)+1x(16.00) However the question also asks: "What is the mass, in grams, of 8.52 mol of the substance" How would I carry this out? Please keep in mind I'm new to all of this so please go easy on me. If you don't get what I'm asking I'm basically asking if I would add on the 8.52 or something else.

Find the values of x and the first quartile. firstly, I got x = 3, which is right. but I got problems with finding the first quartile. btw, the answer is 5. so, what does need to be done to find the first quartile in an ungroup data, or does the answer given is wrong??? find quartile in group data seems to be easier... ;O

    Let G be an n×n grid whose edges are labelled with natural numbers. Starting in the top-left corner, consider paths in G reaching the bottom-right corner by walking along edges either down or to the right. The weight of a path is the sum over all numbers encountered along the edges it traverses. Devise an algorithm in pseudo-code that computes the set of all weights of all paths reaching the bottom-right corner (you may assume standard set data structures and operations on them to be available). Give a rough estimation of the running time of your algorithm: is it polynomial, exponential, etc.? Justify your answer.

Problem is Lab and Lecture are taught by different teachers at my school. My lab professor follows the book Lab 1-9 in order. Problem is my Chem Lecture professor does not. She teaches how she wants.

I barely understand it and now I'm being asked to calculate these answers and I have no idea how to do it. I'm going to scan this and attach it. Here is whaIs known that may not be apparent …

  22. for this question , I'm having problem with the shear stress at point E and shear stress at centorid. normally , the shear stress at the centoid will be maximum , right ? But , in my working , I found that the shear stress at the centroid is smaller than the shear stress at E. What's wrong with the working ? i get y coordinates of centorid = 66.7mm For Ixx , i get (5.00x10^-5)(m^4) , For V(shear force ) , I use (437.5x10^3) For shear stress at centroid , i use formula of $$\tau = V(Q) / It $$ so at centroid , Q = (66.67x10^-3)(160x10^-3)(66.67x10^-3 / 2 ) = 3.56x10^-4 so $$\tau $$= (437.5x10^3)(3.56x10^-4) / (5.00x10^-5)(160x10^-3) = 1.9x 10^7 Pa …

  23. We're just beginning stoichiometry and molarity we have been on this chapter for 1 week now and this is a homework question. I have thought about how to start this problem several times so far and I have decided that I have no clue. A chemist was asked to analyze a solution of chlordane, C10H6Cl8,dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent that was discovered by construction workers during demolition of an old work shed. This insecticide was banned for sale in the United States in 1988 by the EPA because of its potential for causing cancer. Reactions were carried out on a 2.017 g sample of the solution, which converted all of the chlorine to chloride ion dissolved in water. T…

  24. I need help verifying my logic is correct. Basically I am trying to derive a formula for calculating the 3D normal vector to a sphere given its 2D image. If I am given the 2D picture of a sphere. I can calculate its radius, r. Here we assume an orthographic projection, meaning the sphere mapped into the 2D image plane is simply the z value dropped. Let the coordinate frame originate from the center of the sphere with z-axis pointing toward the viewer or out of the image plane, then if I select any point, (x,y), on the 2D image of a sphere, I can actually calculate the 3D normal vector to the sphere at that point from its 2D image as follows: 1. Let d be the dista…
