Answer:

Scientist increases the surface area of a solute by grinding the solute with a motor and pestle.

Explanation:

Grinding of a solid solute exposes the reactant molecules to new surfaces. When the surface area increases it allows greater frequency of collision between the reactant particles. The reactant particles can now collide in proper orientation. The increase in surface area thus speeds up the rate of the reaction.

Assume the hydrolysis of ATP proceeds with ΔG′° = –30 kJ/mol. ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi Which expression gives the ratio of ADP to AT

Andru [333]

Answer:

$6.14\cdot 10^{-6}$

Explanation:

Firstly, write the expression for the equilibrium constant of this reaction:

$K_{eq} = \frac{[ADP][Pi]}{ATP}$

Secondly, we may relate the change in Gibbs free energy to the equilibrium constant using the equation below:

$\Delta G^o = -RT ln K_{eq}$

From here, rearrange the equation to solve for K:

$K_{eq} = e^{-\frac{\Delta G^o}{RT}}$

Now we know from the initial equation that:

$K_{eq} = \frac{[ADP][Pi]}{ATP}$

Let's express the ratio of ADP to ATP:

$\frac{[ADP]}{[ATP]} = \frac{[Pi]}{K_{eq}}$

Substitute the expression for K:

$\frac{[ADP]}{[ATP]} = \frac{[Pi]}{K_{eq}} = \frac{[Pi]}{e^{-\frac{\Delta G^o}{RT}}}$

Now we may use the values given to solve:

$\frac{[ADP]}{[ATP]} = \frac{[Pi]}{K_{eq}} = \frac{[Pi]}{e^{-\frac{\Delta G^o}{RT}}} = [Pi]e^{\frac{\Delta G^o}{RT}} = 1.0 M\cdot e^{\frac{-30 kJ/mol}{2.5 kJ/mol}} = 6.14\cdot 10^{-6}$

CdF2(s)⇄Cd2+(aq)+2F−(aq)A saturated aqueous solution of CdF2 is prepared. The equilibrium in the solution is represented above.

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

$CdF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2F^-(aq)$

Equilibrium concentration cadmium ions = $[Cd^{2+}]=0.0585 M$

Equilibrium concentration fluoride ions = $[F^{-}]=0.117 M$

Molar solubility is the maximum concentration of salt present in water in ionic form beyond that no more salt will exist in its ionic form and will settle down in bottom of the solution.

The molar solubility of the solid cadmium fluoride = 0.0585 M

$CdF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2F^-(aq)$ ..[1]

$NaF(s)\rightleftharpoons Na^{+}(aq)+F^-(aq)$

Due to addition of sodium fluoride will increase concentration of fluoride in the solution.And due to common ion effect the equilibrium will shift in backward direction in [1], that is precipitation of more cadmium fluoride.

Hence, decrease in solubility will be observed.

In a neutralization reaction, an aqueous solution of an Arrhenius acid reacts with an aqueous solution of an Arrhenius base to p

solmaris [256]

Answer: c. Salt and Water

Explanation:

For example;

When an Arrhenius acid such as; Tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid (H2SO4) reacts with an Arrhenius base such as Potassium hydroxide (KOH), the products formed in this neutralization reaction is a salt known as ''Potassium Sulphate'' (K2SO4) and ''Water'' (H2O).

H2SO4 + KOH -------------> K2SO4 + H2O

Which substance will have the higher melting point,ethanol or ethane?explain

attashe74 [19]

Since hydrogen bonding is a stronger intermolecular force than van der Waals forces, more energy is required to separate the molecules of ethanol than the molecules of ethane. Thus ethanol has a higher melting point than ethane.

Which statement is true of phenolphthalein?

Anna007 [38]

The correct option is B.

Phenophtalein is an indicator that is usually used in acid base titration experiments. Indicators are substances that undergo distinct, observable changes when the pH of their solutions change. Indicators exhibit changing of colors depending on the pH of the solution in which they are found. They are usually weak bases and acid which are capable of partial dissociation and formation of ions when dissolved in water. There are different types of indicator and phenophtalein is one of them. Phenophtalein is colorless in acidic solution and pink in basic solutions.
