Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.
Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.
In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.
Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.
If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
HNO2 is the formula for Nitrous Acid
Answer:
B: The behaviors an animal must display in order to find a mate
Explanation:
An animal usually looks for specific characteristic in order for their offspring to develop those same characteristics and be able to survive
Answer:
Kp = 0.049
Explanation:
The equilibrium in question is;
2 SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) ⇄ 2 SO₃ (g)
Kp = p SO₃² / ( p SO₂² x p O₂ )
The initial pressures are given, so lets set up the ICE table for the equilibrium:
atm SO₂ O₂ SO₃
I 3.3 0.79 0
C -2x -x 2x
E 3.3 - 2x 0.79 - x 2x
We are told 2x = partial pressure of SO₃ is 0.47 atm at equilibrium, so we can determine the partial pressures of SO₂ and O₂ as follows:
p SO₂ = 3.3 -0.47 atm = 2.83 atm
p O₂ = 0.79 - (0.47/2) atm = .56 atm
Now we can calculate Kp:
Kp = 0.47² /[ ( 2.83 )² x 0.56 ] = 0.049 ( rounded to 2 significant figures )
Note that we have extra data in this problem we did not need since once we setup the ICE table for the equilibrium we realize we have all the information needed to solve the question.
