Water take a (long/short) time to heat up due to it's High Specific Heat.

1 answer:

8 0

Because of water's specific heat capacity, it takes longer for the water to heat up. This is useful because if water heated up quickly, then the ocean would be literally boiling, and it would evaporate into the atmosphere.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?

Alexeev081 [22]

The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50 P2 = 125
V1 = 5 V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.

Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, ionizes to form an ethanoate ion (CH3COO-) in aqueous solution. what else does it form? is it a monoprot

barxatty [35]

Ethanoic acid ionizes in aqueous solutions to form two ions which are $CH_3COO^-$ and $H^+$

<h3>Ionization of ethanoic acid</h3>

Ethanoic acid goes by the chemical formula $CH_3COOH$ .

In aqueous solutions, it ionizes as a monoprotic acid according to the following equation:

$CH_3COOH ---- > CH_3COO^- + H^+$

A monoprotic acid is an acid that is able to donate only a proton. Hence, ethanoic acid is said to be monoprotic because it ionizes in aqueous solutions to produce a single $H^+$

The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation- $k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}$ , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, $E_{a}$ is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

$\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}$

Here $\frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005}$ , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and $E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol$

So, $\frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}$

$\Rightarrow$ $E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol$ (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol
