The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that particles must have in order for them to participate in a chemical reaction. During chemical reactions bonds are broken and formed. Particles must collide with sufficient energy in order for the initial bonds to be broken. The activation energy is that that initial minimum energy that the particles can have in order for the bonds to be broken. Stronger bonds would require more energy to be broken and therefore the activation energy for such would be higher.
Activity series of metals: K,Na,Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu,Ag. Metals on the left are more reactive than metals on the right. For example Zn is more reactive than Fe and can displace him.
Reaction than can occur is: <span>CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s).</span>
Answer:
a. True
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
a). A a very low substrate concentration , . Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes
Here since the varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option (a) is true.
b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :
Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as is directly proportional to [S]. But is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.
c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.
d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.
Answer:
B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.
E. Decrease the distance between the objects.
Explanation:
To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.
This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:
- It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".
Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.
Answer:
n = 7.86 mol
Explanation:
This question can be solved using the ideal gas law of PV = nRT.
Temperature must be in K, so we will convert 22.5C to 295 K ( Kelvin = C + 273).
R is the ideal gas constant of 0.0821.
(2.24atm)(85.0L) = n(0.0821)(295K)
Isolate n to get:
n = (2.24atm)(85.0L)/(0.0821)(295K)
n = 7.86 mol
