A chemistry student at GGC synthesized a new sulfonamide (S7) drug to help treat
malaria. Using a spectrophotometer the student observed that S7 converts to a
colorless molecule in the presence of malaria parasite called Plasmodium falciparum.
To study the rate of reaction, the student recorded the absorbance/amount of S7 at
a wavelength of 570 nm. The results are summarized in the table below:

A person with a normal body temperature of 36 ° C dies in an accident while traveling by car. The body temperature of this person was 30 °C when his body was found and the body temperature was 28 °C 1 hour after it was found. Also, if the temperature of the ENVERİONMENT was 20 °C when the body was found, how long before this person was found? Please express it mathematically and solve it by equation.

- Drag the pictures into the correct order, name the phase, and describe what occurs during each phase. Image here Image here (3) Image here Image herearrow_forwardIn Science experiments, it is very important to “control the variables” so that there is only ONE independent variable and ONE dependent variable. We “control the variables” by making anything else that could change during the experiment into a constant. For example, if you are doing an experiment to find out what material can hold more water, then it is important to make sure all the materials you are testing are the same size. Why is it so important to control the variables? What would happen if we did not control them?arrow_forwardThe molecule can absorb heat from the environment without changing its chemical structure, as will occur when there is a local temperature increase. The molecule will have a higher energy. If the increase in energy is above KT (i.e., the entire environment has not increased its temperature), the molecule will come to thermal equilibrium with the environment around it, and return to its original energy state. Which one of the following is example to this? Select one: a. The absorbance of radiant energy by Melanin pigment in the skin. b. Conversion of 11-cis form of retinal to the all-trans form of retinal upon exposure to light, with a maximum absorbance at 500 nm. c. Thymine-thymine and thymine-cytosine pyrimidine bridges formation upon exposure of DNA to UV-B radiation. d. The translucent to opaque conversion of egg whites when cooked by increasing the temperature.arrow_forward
- Name four process controls and their importance. (related to medical laboratory)arrow_forwardJio Almonte is the executive assistant in the Torralba-Santos group of companies. Because of his background in computer engineering, he has been the "go-to" guy for repairing desktop computers in the company. One day, while he was troubleshooting a co-worker's 12-volt power supply, he was electrocuted. Seeing that he forgot to wear his gloves, and he was deliberately pulled to fix it while he was washing his coffee mug, the others worried that he might not survive and immediately dialed 911. Given the human body's fragility to electricity, many doctors and scientists agree that it only takes 100 to 300 milliamperes to fatally injure, or sometimes kill, a human. Higher amperages lower the victim's window of survival. Given the current difference, is Jio in danger? Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhen reacted, how does the use of potassium (K+) vs sodium (Na+) change the soap product? Question 26 options: Na+ adds jasmine fragrance and K+ adds a rosemary fragrance to the soap. K+ produces harder, moldable soaps into shapes and Na+ produces softer, liquid soaps. There is no difference between the two cations. Na+ produces harder, moldable soaps into shapes and K+ produces softer, liquid soaps.arrow_forward

Why is this important? How would the success of the experiment be affected if the wash solvent were warm? The purity of the substance would decrease with a warm wash. The solubility of the substance would decrease with a warm solvent. More of the product will dissolve if the wash step is carried out with warm solvent. Warm solvent does not filter as well as cold solvent. The solubility of impurities would decrease with a warm solvent.arrow_forward
- Suppose a researcher is investigating the measurement ability of a new device intended to read the freezing point of a chemical compound. The substance used in the investigation has a known freezing point of -24 degrees Celsius.
