When an apple or banana is cut, a chemical reaction with air causes the flesh to turn brown. Placing the fruit in a cold place,

such as a refrigerator, can keep it from getting brown as quickly. EXPLAIN THIS EFFECT!

Apples turn brown when exposed to air because it undergoes aerial oxidation.  Due to this, when the inside of the apple is exposed to the air containing oxygen and water, it turns brown. When apple is uncut, skin of the apple protects it from this process. 


If the peeled apple in kept in the refrigerator, the oxidation reaction is greatly slowed down. This is because, rate of chemical reaction decreases with temperature. Hence, in refrigerator it would take several days for it to turn brown.

A sealed balloon occupies a volume of 250 mL at an unknown temperature. When the temperature is altered to 30 C, the balloon's v
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 250 mL to Liters = 250/1000 = 0.25 L

Final temperature, T2 = 30°C

Final volume, V2 = 0.5 L

To find the initial temperature T1, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making T1 the subject of formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} * T_{2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{0.25}{0.5} * 30

T_{1}= 0.5 * 30

<em>Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C</em>

1) CO (g) + 2H_{2}(g) ---> CH_{3}OH (g)

Moles of methanol = 208 kg CH_{3}OH * \frac{1000 g}{1 kg} * \frac{1 mol CH_{3}OH}{32.04 g CH_{3}OH} = 6492 mol CH_{3}OH

Mass of H_{2} that would produce 208 kg methanol =

6492 mol CH_{3}OH * \frac{2 mol H_{2}}{1 mol CH_{3}OH} * \frac{2.02 g H_{2}}{1 mol H_{2}} * \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=  26.2 kg H_{2}

2) Mass of sodium = 1.3 * 10^{21} atoms Na * \frac{1 mol Na}{6.022* 10^{23}atoms Na} * \frac{22.99 g Na}{1 mol Na} = 0.0496 g Na

3) Mass of mercury = 1.2 mL * 13.6 \frac{g}{mL} = 16.32 g

Number of atoms of mercury = 16.32 g Hg * \frac{1 mol Hg}{200.59 g Hg} * \frac{6.022* 10^{23} atoms Hg}{1 mol Hg} =   4.9 * 10^{22} atoms Hg

Imatinib is a small molecule kinase inhibitor. The BCR-ABL kinase can phosphorylate a series of downstream substrates, leading to proliferation of mature granulocytes. Bcr-Abl kinase substrate is the tyrosine. The Protein Tyrosine Kinase activity is an important requirement for malignant transformation, and that it cannot be complemented by any downstream effector, though not all interactions of BCR-ABL with other proteins are phosphotyrosine dependent.
