If the concentration of enzyme increases, then reaction should speed up (answer C).
enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy to provide an alternative pathway of reaction mechanism. assuming that enzyme which usually is the limiting factor, the increase of enzyme concentration should lead to more product formation i.e. maltose from the breakdown of starch.
the enzyme discussed here should be amylase.

higher temperature beyond optimum value enzyme found in our human body will usually least to denaturation of active site of enzyme. hence lead to loss of enzyme activity permanently.

Are all single bonds sigma bonds?
Nikolay [14]
Single bonds are those that bond with one atom, and sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds that are single bonded. 

That means NO, not all single bonds are sigma bond, but all sigma bonds are single bonds.

Calculate the number of pounds of CO2CO2 released into the atmosphere when a 22.0 gallon22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned i
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Explanation:

Density of the gasoline ,d= 0.692 g/mL

Volume of gasoline in an tanks,V = 22.0 gallons = 83,279.02 mL

Let mass of the gasoline be M

Density= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

M = V × d = 83,279.02 mL × 0.692 g/mL=57,629.081 g

Given that gasoline is primarily octane.

2C_8H_{18}+25O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O

Mass of octane burnt in the tank = M = 57,629.081 g

Moles of octane =\frac{57,629.081 g}{114.08g/mol}=505.1637 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of octane gives 16 moles of carbon-dioxide.

Then 505.1637 mol of octane will give:

\frac{16}{2}\times 505.1637 mol=4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide

Mass of 4,041.3100 mol of carbon-dioxide:

4,041.3100 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 177,858.05 g

Mass of carbon-dioxide produced in pounds = 391.28771 pounds

391.28771 pounds of carbon-dioxide was released into the atmosphere when 22.0 gallon tank of gasoline is burned in an automobile engine.

Lithium β is a solid phase of lithium still unknown to science. The only difference between it and ordinary lithium is that Lith
pychu [463]

Answer:

The density of Lithium β is 0.5798 g/cm³

Explanation:

For a face centered cubic (FCC) structure, there are total number of 4 atoms in the unit cell.

we need to calculate the mass of these atoms because density is mass per unit volume.

Atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 g/mol

Then we calculate the mass of four atoms;

= 4 .atoms*\frac{1.mole}{6.022 X10^{23} .atoms} *\frac{6.94g}{mole} = 4.6097 X10^{-23} g

⇒next, we estimate the volume of the unit cell in cubic centimeter

given the edge length or lattice constant a = 0.43nm

a = 0.43nm = 0.43 X 10⁻⁹ m = 0.43 X 10⁻⁹ X 10² cm = 4.3 X 10⁻⁸cm

Volume of the unit cell = a³ = (4.3 X 10⁻⁸cm)³ = 7.9507 X 10⁻²³ cm³

⇒Finally, we calculate the density of Lithium β

Density = mass/volume

Density = (4.6097 X 10⁻²³ g)/(7.9507 X 10⁻²³ cm³)

Density = 0.5798 g/cm³
