The phenomenon known as "salting-out" occurs at very high ionic strengths, when protein solubility declines as ionic strength rises. As a result, salting out may be used to segregate proteins according to how soluble they are in salt solutions.

Because large levels of sodium chloride disturb the bonds and structure of the active site, the rate of enzyme activity will gradually decrease as the concentration of sodium chloride rises. As a result, some of the active sites get denaturized and the starch loses its ability to attach to them. As more enzymes get denatured and eventually cease to function, enzyme activity will steadily wane.

A system is a part of the physical universe defined arbitrarily for observation purposes.

Boundaries are a part of the physical universe that are around the system.

In a scientific sense, a system is a part of the physical universe whose boundaries, that is, the limit between the system and its surroundings, are defined arbitrarily for observation purposes.

A system contains at least a model, represented in a phenomenological way, and it can be isolated (no mass nor energy interactions), closed (no mass interactions) or open.

The surroundings are a part of the physical universe that are around the system.

An example is a coffee-maker, where coffee-maker the system and air represents the surroundings, the coffee-maker receives energy from a heat source to warm up itself and releases part of such energy to the air.

Identify all the physical properties of a base.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Bases are ionic compounds that produce negative hydrogen ions (OH⁻) when dissolved in water.
An example of a base is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH).
Bases have a bitter taste.
Bases feel slippery.
Bases conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Bases change litmus paper from red to blue in colour.
They react with acids to form a salt and water, this process is called neutralisation.
The pH of bases ranges from 8-14.
Turns phenolphthalein pink.

Galena, a mineral of lead, is a compound of the metal with sulfur. Analysis shows that a 2.34-g sample of galena contains 2.03 g

dolphi86 [110]

The mass of sulfur in the sample is 0.31g

To calculate mass of sulfur in sample: given that amount galena is 2.34g and mass of lead is 2.03 g as galena contain both lead and sulfur the mass of sulfur = mass of galena- mass of lead , that is, 2.34- 2.03=0.31g.The molecular mass is a algebraic sum of atomic mass of each element in the compound thus the mass of the compound can be obtained by adding atomic of each element. Lead(II) sulphide occurs naturally as the mineral galena, often known as lead glance (PbS). It is a significant source of silver and the most significant lead ore.

Write your question here (Keep it simple and clear to get the best answer)how can the boiling point of a liquid raised without a

Ludmilka [50]

The boiling point of a liquid can be raised by adding pressure. Like wise, if you lower the pressure the boiling point goes down. This can be explained by the fact that boiling occurse when the vapor pressure equals the outside pressure so when the outside pressure rises the vapor pressure required for boiling also rises. Vapor pressure is proportional to temperature and therefore temperature needs to increase to make the vapor pressure increase. I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear or if you want me to explain anything further.
