2 answers:

7 0

Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%. Gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, and ozone are trace gases that account for about a tenth of one percent of the atmosphere.

Annette [7]

<h3>solution:</h3>

The initial entropy is obtained from the initial pressure and temperature with data from A-6 using interpolation:

s= 8.2652 kJ/kgK

The final temperature is determined from the entropy and the final pressure with data from A-6 using interpolation:

T₂ = T₁+ T₂ - T₁/ 8₂ - 8₁ ( s - s₁)

= (400 + 500 - 400/8.3271 - 8.0347 (8.2652 - 8))

= 478.83°C

The final enthalpy is determined in the same way:

h₂= h₁ + h₂ - h₁/s₂ - s₁ ( s - s₁)

= ( 3275.5+ 3486.6 - 3275.5/ 8.3271 - 8.0347) (8.265)

= 3441.91 kJ/kg

A reaction rate assay measures enzyme _______________; and a colorimetric endpoint assay measures ________________.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. activity; concentration

Explanation:

A reaction rate essay is a laboratory method to determine the activity of an enzyme. It is necessary for determining the enzyme kinetics and inhibition.

Whereas, a colorimetric analysis is a method to determine the concentration of a chemical compound in a solution. Therefore, a colorimetric endpoint assay measures the concentration.

Therefore, Enzyme activity is measured by a reaction rate assay and the concentration is measured by a colorimetric endpoint assay.

Calculate the empirical formula for each natural flavor based on its elemental mass percent composition.

algol [13]

The complete question is;
Calculate the empirical formula for each of the following naturalflavors based on their elemental mass percent composition.

Q1)
methyl butyrate (component of apple taste andsmell):  C -58.80 % H- 9.87 %
O -31.33.%Express your answer as a chemical formula.

Q2)
vanillin (responsible for the taste and smellof vanilla):  C - 63.15% H- 5.30 %
O - 31.55%Express your answer as a chemical formula.

Q1)
empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole number of elements in the compound. as the percentages have been given, lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 58.80 g 9.87 g 31.33
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 58.80/12 9.87/1 31.33/16
= 4.9 =9.87 = 1.95
then divide number of moles by least number of moles - 1.95 in this case
4.9/1.95 = 2.51 9.87/1.95 = 5.06 1.95/1.95= 1
next multiply by 2 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.51x2 = 5.02 5.06x2 = 10.12 1x2 = 2
when rounded off to the nearest whole number
C - 5
H - 10
O - 2
therefore empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O₂

Q2) for this too since elemental composition has been given in percentages lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass   63.15 g    5.30 g   31.55 g
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 63.15/12 5.30/1 31.55/16
=5.26 =5.30 =1.97
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles - 1.97
5.26/1.97 5.30/1.97 1.97/1.97
=2.67 = 2.69 = 1
multiply each by 3 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.67x3 = 8.01 2.69x3 = 8.07 1x3 = 3
rounded off to the nearest whole numbers
C - 8
H - 8
O - 3
empirical formula = C₈H₈O₃
