Amylase in saliva work best at neutral pH or pH 7.  Many studies show that at this pH, the enzyme activity is the highest. When the enzyme reaches the stomach where it is an acidic environment amylase activity goes down or even stops. Then, as it enters the small intestine where the pH goes back to neutral level the amylase then resume to it's shape and works again.

Answer:

ΔH = - 272.255 kJ      

Explanation:

Given that

In first step ,reaction is given as

N2(g) + 3H2(g) →2NH3(g)                  ΔH=−92 kJ

In second step ,reaction is given as

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) +6H2O(g)             ΔH=−905 kJ

Now multiple by in the first equation ,we get

2N2(g) + 6H2(g) →4NH3(g)                  ΔH=− 184 kJ

Now by adding the above equation

2N2(g) + 6H2(g) →4NH3(g)                  ΔH=− 184 kJ

<u>4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) +6H2O(g)             ΔH=−905 kJ</u>

2 N2+6 H2 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O       ΔH=  - 1089 k J

For one mole of nitric oxide (NO)

\Delta H=\dfrac{-1089}{4}= -272.255\ kJ

ΔH = - 272.255 kJ

Therefore change in the enthalpy will be - 272.255 kJ.
