Enzymes are characterized to have weak bonds because their tertiary structure could easily bend and break because it will have to adjust to the shape of the substrate. It could be done via induced fitting or lock-and-key theory. These weak bonds are intermolecular forces like the London forces, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.

When ammonium chloride crystals are dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. What does the temperature change

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A decreasing temperature indicates that the dissolution process for the ammonium chloride requires input of energy from surroundings. That is, the process is essentially 2 parts => system (object of interest - NH₄Cl) and the surroundings (everything else - solvent - H₂O). The surroundings (water) solvent is showing a <u>measured</u> decrease in temperature or loss of energy (exothermic to surroundings) which flows into the system (NH₄Cl) and effects dissolution of salt into solution (endothermic to system).

qaws [65]

U-238
The number besides the U means its total molar mass. The molar mass of this element is 238
Molar mass= protons + neutrons
This means that 238= 146 + protons
Do 238 - 146
