6 0
Amylase is the enzyme found in saliva an starts to digest food from in the mouth. Starch is a polysaccharide found in foods such as bread, yam, potatoes. This molecule is the carbohydrate component of foods and is the main source of energy as food. At the moloecular level, the enzyme amylase breaks the bond that forms maltose into two individual glucose molecules.

A car starts from rest gains velocity 20m/s in 10 second find its acceleration?​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

acceleration(a)=2m/s²

Explanation:

initial velocity(u)=0m/s

final velocity (v)=20m/s

time taken (t)=10sec

now

v=u+at

20=0+a*10

a=2m/s²

How many molecules of N2O4 are in 76.3g N2O4? The molar mass of N2O4 is 92.02 g/mol.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

4.99*10²³ molecules of N₂O₄ are in 76.3 g of N₂O₄

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number is the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number represents a quantity without an associated physical dimension. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

You know that the molar mass of N₂O₄ is 92.02 g/mol, and you have 76.3 g. Then you can apply the following rule of three: 92.02 grams are present in 1 mole of the compound, 76.3 grams in how many moles are they?

amount of moles= \frac{76.3 grams*1 mole}{92.02 grams}

amount of moles= 0.83 moles

Then, you can apply another rule of three: if by definition of Avogadro's number 1 mole of the compound has 6.023*10²³ molecules, 0.83 moles of the compound, how many molecules will it have?

amount of molecules= \frac{0.83 moles*6.023*10^{23}molecules }{1 mole}

amount of molecules= 4.99*10²³

<u><em>4.99*10²³ molecules of N₂O₄ are in 76.3 g of N₂O₄</em></u>

Predict the major product of the following reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with dilute HCl in H2O?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane

Explanation:

The hydrocarbons with one double bond are called alkenes and are named with the suffix "ene". The alkenes, such as 1-methylcyclohexene, react better in an addition reaction. The double bond will be broken, and the substitutes will be placed at them.

In the reaction with HCl, H and Cl will be added to the carbons of the broken bond. The major product is formed when H is put at the carbon less substituted. Thus, the product will be the one given below, 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane.
