How can an iceberg (temperature=0 Celsius) have more energy than a burning match head (temperature=230 Celsius)?

Temperature is the average energy of each particle and does not really give you an indication of the total internal energy.  That being said, total internal energy is the sum of all of the molecule's energy in a given object so it would make sense that an ice berg (having a huge number molecules at a lower average energy) would have more internal energy than a match head (having a much smaller number of molecules at a higher average energy).  Basically, the fact that ice bergs tend to be huge and contain much more molecules than a match head, means that ice bergs can have a larger total internal energy which means they store more energy.

I hope this helps.

What is the main difference between a homogeneous mixture and a heterogeneous mixture?
Sholpan [36]
The answer is <span>The components of a homogeneous mixture are evenly distributed.

In a homogeneous mixture, all components are evenly distributed. They are known as solutions. In a heterogeneous mixture, components are not evenly distributed. It consists of visibly different components. For example, milk is the homogeneous mixture, you cannot see its particles. But milk and cereals are the heterogeneous mixtures.</span>

1)Define potential Energy.
Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.

Which of the following is TRUE about enzymes?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

All options are correct.

Explanation:

All options are correct.

Enzymes being faster, than chemical catalysts and their reaction rate is almost 10 times faster.They are highly specific producing large amount of good residues and can work at mild conditions, physiological pH and temperature.

They can be regulated by other molecules that either increase or reduce their activity.

Molecules that increase the activity of an enzyme are called activators, while molecules that decrease the activity of an enzyme are called inhibitors.
