Here we have to write a simple equation which describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

The equation is: The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$

Let us consider an enzyme catalyses reaction E + S ⇄ ES → E + P

Where E, S, ES and P are enzyme, substrate, complex and product respectively.

The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$ , where $K_{m}$ is the Michaelis constant.

[E]₀ and [S] is the initial concentration of enzyme and concentration of substrate respectively.

The process of ____ occurs when magma, lava, or a solute in a solution becomes a solid and the internal components will arrange

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

D. Crystallization

Explanation:

Let's clarify the irrelevant terms first.

unification: This term has nothing to do with chemistry at all
lithification: When the problem mentions magma and lava, you might think that this term is related to the process here. However, 'lithification' do have a precise meaning in geology. It refers to the process where sediments collapses into one single rock under pressure, which has nothing to do with the process mentioned here.

Now, for 2 terms that might confuse you: 'solidification' and 'crystallization' these also has precise scientific definition

Solidification is defined the process where substances in liquid phase changes its phase to solid. On first glance, this answer might seems correct, and yes, it is correct for this question. But not the most correct.

The keyword here is

'the internal components will arrange its self in an organized pattern.'

Crystallization is a special case of Solidification where the atoms or molecules of liquid solidify by spontaneously arrange themselves in periodic, ordered, and organized pattern. It might or might not happen during solidification depending on cooling rate, viscosity of liquid, and other factors.

So, Crystallization is the most correct answer here.

A gaseous mixture contains 443.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 369.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , and 82.7 Torr Ar ( g ) . Calculate the mole fraction, χ

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

χH₂ = 0.4946

χN₂ = 0.4130

χAr = 0.0923

Explanation:

The total pressure of the mixture (P) is:

P = pH₂ + pN₂ + pAr

P = 443.0 Torr + 369.9 Torr + 82.7 Torr

P = 895.6 Torr

We can find the mole fraction of each gas (χ) using the following expression.

χi = pi / P

χH₂ = pH₂ / P = 443.0 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4946

χN₂ = pN₂ / P = 369.9 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4130

χAr = pAr / P = 82.7 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.0923

6.02 kJ>mol. When a small ice cube at -10°C is put into a cup of water at room temperature, which of the following plays a gr

9966 [12]

Answer:

Heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.

Explanation:

Temperature of ice = -10 °c

Temperature of water = 0 °c

When ice cube is dipped in to the water.the heat transfer

Q = m c ΔT

⇒ Q = 1 × 2.01 × 10

⇒ Q = 20.1 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice $Q_{melt}$ = latent heat of ice

Latent heat of ice = 334 KJ

⇒ $Q_{melt}$ = 334 KJ

Heat transfer during melting of ice is greater value than heat transfer during warming of ice from -10°C to 0°C.

Thus heat transfer during melting of ice plays greater role in cooling of liquid water.
