When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in  the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.

State two ways of measuring the quantity of reactant or product
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.

A student has 100. mL of 0.400 M CuSO4 (aq) and is asked to make 100. mL of 0.150 M CuSO4 (aq) for a spectrophotometry experimen
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

We have to take 37.5 mL of a 0.400 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Stock volume = 100 mL  = 0.100L

Stock concentration 0.400 M

Volume of solution he wants to make = 100 mL = 0.100L

Concentration of solution he wants to make = 0.150 M

Step 2: Calculate the volume of 0.400 M CuSO4 needed

C1*V1 = C2*V2

⇒with C1 = the stock concentration = 0.400M

⇒with V1 = the volume of the stock = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with C2 = the concentration of the solution he wants to make = 0.150 M

⇒with V2 = the volume of the solution made = 0.100 L

0.400 M * V1 = 0.150M * 0.100L

V1 = (0.150M*0.100L) / 0.400 M

V1 = 0.0375 L = 37.5 mL

We have to take 37.5 mL of a 0.400 M solution

What is the mass of a piece of iron that releases 179.85 joules of heat as it cools from 51.29 degrees Celsius to 31.42 degrees
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

20.11 g.

Explanation:

What is given?

c (specific heat of iron) = 0.450 J/g °C.

Q (heat energy) = 179.85 J.

ΔT (change of temperature) = |31.42 °C - 51.29 °C| = 19.87 °C.

What do we need? Mass of iron (m)

Step-by-step solution:

Let's see the formula of specific heat:

c=\frac{Q}{m\cdot\Delta T}

Where c is specific heat, Q is heat energy, m is mass and ΔT is the change of temperature.

We just have to solve for 'm' to find the mass of iron and replace the given data that we have, like this:

m=\frac{Q}{c\cdot\Delta T}=\frac{179.85\text{ J}}{0.450\text{ }\frac{J}{g\cdot\degree C}\cdot19.87\degree C}=20.11\text{ g.}

The mass of the iron would be 20.11 g.
