An enzyme speeds up chemical reactions as it acts as a catalyst. 
pychu [463]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b. enzyme is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The chemical reactions require a catalyst termed as an enzyme to speed up the reaction in living things.

The enzyme speeds up the chemical reactions by giving another reaction pathway of reducing its activation energy.

Enzymes improve the efficiency of chemical reactions.

Enzymes decrease the activation energy of the chemical reaction which is required for a reaction to start.

Thus (b) enzyme is the correct answer.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

1 kg=1000g so 2000 g=2kg and 1 liter of water is equal to 1 kg .as a result 2 kg=2l and if consider 1l as 1000 ml we get 2000 ml

the final answer is 2000 g of water equal to 2000 ml

Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?
Goryan [66]

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

How many grams of NaF form when .508 mol of HF react with excess Na2SiO3?
jonny [76]
2HF + Na2SiO3 ---->  2NaF +  H2SiO3   is the balanced equation.

2 moles of HF  form 2 moles of NaF

therefore 0.508 Mol  HF forms 0.508 mol of NaF

In grams this is 0.508( rel atomic mass of Na + RAM of F)
                        = 0.508 (22.99+19)
                        =  21.33 grams
