Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Methane contains 0.3357 g of hydrogen

for every 1.00 g of carbon. The ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane to grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane is 4:3. Determine the number of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g

Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:

M / E = 4/3

If we cross multiply,

3M = 4E

Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,

E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518

There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

A certain first-order reaction 45% complete in 65seconds, determine the rate constant and the half life for the process ​
masha68 [24]

The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction 45% complete in 65 s

Required

The rate constant and the half life

Solution

For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o

45% complete, 55% remains

A = 0.55

Ao = 1

Input the value :

ln A = -kt + ln Ao

ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1

-0.598=-k.65

k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life :

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³

t1/2 = 75.3 s

Penicillinase, also known as β‑lactamase, is a bacterial enzyme that hydrolyzes and inactivates the antibiotic penicillin. Penic
sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        V_{max} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

          K_{m} = 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics,

              V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

where, S = substrate concentration = 10.4 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

        V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times [\frac{10.4 \times 10^{-6} M}{(10.4 \times 10^{-6}M + 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M)}]

            V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times 0.667

                              = 4.5 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

This means that V_{o} would approache V_{max}.

Which term names the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.
