Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

DDT is known as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. It is able to dissolve easily in fats and it remains for a long time into the atmosphere.

It causes harm to animal life, aquatic life and human life as it is very toxic in nature.

If DDT is consumed then it can lead to lymphoma, leukemia, and pancreatic cancer. Also, its manufacturing is inexpensive hence, it is used widely.

Therefore, we can conclude that DDT is a dangerous environmental pollutant because it remains in the environment for a long time.

The enthalpy of fusion of methanol (CH3OH) is 3.16 kJ/mol. How much heat would be absorbed or released upon freezing 25.6 grams
Verdich [7]

Answer:

There is  2.52 kJ of energy released (option 4)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The enthalpy of fusion of methanol (CH3OH) is 3.16 kJ/mol

Mass of methanol = 25.6 grams

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of methanol

Moles methanol = mass methanol / molar mass methanol

Moles methanol = 25.6 grams / 32.04 g/mol

Moles methanol = 0.799 moles

Step 3: Calculate energy transfer

Energy  transfer = moles * enthalpy of fusion

Energy = 0.799 moles * 3.16 kJ/mol

Energy = 2.52 kJ released

There is  2.52 kJ of energy released

For a specific enzyme/substrate system, which condition will always result in an increase in Vo (assuming nothing else changes)?
inessss [21]
<span>a decrease in Km and an increase in Vmax
 km is the constant that relates how thick the volume of the substrate in terms of concentration when the speed is a large portion of the most extreme. They increment Km by meddling with the joining process that makes them stick together wit the substrate, however they have any effect with regards to Vmax since since the sticking process to ES did not occur</span>
