Answer:
If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction
Answer:
Taq polymerase is a thermostable which states that it can even work at higher temperature. The main function of using this enzyme is that it is used to amplify the DNA which will help in producing ample amount of DNA sample.
The enzyme activity is temperature dependent. The denaturation and annealing steps of the PCR occurs at very high temperature.
Any other enzyme used at such an high temperature would have decreased the enzyme activity and the procedure would not be completed.
Answer:
- <u>2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m = 259 nm</u>
Explanation:
You need to calculate the wavelength of a photon with an energy equal to 463 kJ/mol, which is the energy to break an oxygen-hydrogen atom.
The energy of a photon and its wavelength are related by the Planck - Einstein equation:
Where:
- h = Planck constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s) and
- ν = frequency of the photon.
And:
Where:
- c = speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s in vacuum)
- λ = wavelength of the photon
Thus, you can derive:
Solve for λ:
Before substituting the values, convert the energy, 463 kJ/ mol, to J/bond
- 463 kJ/ mol × 1,000 J/kJ × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10 ²³ atom × 1 bond / atom
= 7.69×10²³ J / bond
Substitute the values and use the energy of one bond:
- λ = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s × 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s / 7.69×10²³ J = 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m
The wavelength of light is usually shown in nanometers:
- 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m × 10⁹ nm / m = 259 nm ← answer
