Answer:

Explanation:

Aqueous solution of copper sulphate

is acidic in nature, as when copper sulphate on dissolving with water, following chemical reaction takes place :

CuSO4 + 2 H2O ====> Cu(OH)2 + H2 SO4

As we can see, copper hydroxide and sulphuric acid is generated in this chemical reaction.Copper hydroxide is a weak base whereas sulphuric acid is a very strong acid which results into increase in acidity of the solution.

Thus, the aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic in nature.

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of gaseous dioxygen to aqueous oxide anions.

maksim [4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced half reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

When oxygen gas is reduced to oxide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2

The chemical equation for the reduction of oxygen gas to oxide ions follows:

$O_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.

Activation process and importance of zymogen

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Zymogen ActivationZymogens are activated by snipping the bonds between two or more amino acids, rather like cutting a balloon string so that it floats away. When the bonds are cut, the enzyme changes its conformation, its 3-D structure, so that the active site is free and able to become active.
