The answer to this question would be: false

Solid foods have a smaller surface that can be digested by enzyme compared to the liquids food. Liquid food like milk can easily be digested as the substrate spread in the solution to the enzyme can bind freely to the substrate. In solid food, the area that can be digested would be only the outer part of the food. That is why organism have teeth so the food can be cut into smaller pieces, increasing the surface area that can be digested.

How many moles of steric acid are contained in 0.25 ml of a hexane solution containing 5.4 x 10^-4 g stearic acid/l?

san4es73 [151]

First, we determine the mass of stearic acid in the solution by multiplying the given concentration by the volume.
mass of stearic acid = (5.4 x 10^-4 g/L) (0.25 mL) (1000 mL/1L)
= 0.135 g
Then, we divide this amount by the molar mass in order to obtain the number of moles of stearic acid. The molar mass of stearic acid is 284.4772 g/mol.
moles stearic acid = 0.135 g / (284.4772 g/mol)
= <em>4.75 x 10^-4 mol</em>

For the chemical equation SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g ) the equilibrium constant at a certain temperatur

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Moles of NO₂ = 0.158

Explanation:

SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) ⇄ SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g )

According to the law of mass equation

$K_{c}$ = $\frac{[SO_{3} ][NO]}{[SO_{2}][NO_{2} ]}$
