Urea is a product of digestion of proteins and other foods that contain nitrogen. It can react with water and acid to form ammon

ium ions and bicarbonate ions according to the equation below: (upper N upper h subscript 2) subscript 2 upper C upper O (a q) plus 2 upper h subscript 2 upper o (l) plus upper H superscript plus (a q) right arrow 2 upper N upper H subscript 4 superscript plus (a q) plus upper h upper C upper O subscript 3 superscript minus (a q). The enzyme urease catalyzes this reaction. If urease is added to a solution that contains ammonia and other nitrogen-containing compounds (but no urea), will the urease catalyze any reactions? Explain your answer.

Answer:

The urease will not catalyze any reaction.

Explanation:

The hydrolysis reaction of urea is:

(NH₂)₂CO + 2 H₂O + H⁺ ⇒ 2 NH₄⁺ + HCO₃⁻

Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the urea hydrolysis reaction. Enzymes are very specific referring to the substrates they catalyze. If the solution does not contain urea, the urease will not bind to any of the substances in the solution, so it will not catalyze any reaction in the solution.

Answer:

Urease is an enzyme.

Enzymes are highly specific in the reactions they catalyze.

Enzymes can typically bind only to the substrate(s) for the reaction they catalyze.

If the solution contains no urea, urease will not bind to any of the substances in the solution, so it will not catalyze any reactions in the solution.

Explanation:

Those are the answers.

Pyridine, C5H5N, is a polar organic solvent. How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine? 4.24 x 1024 4.24 x 10, 24 2.12
leonid [27]

Answer:

2.122×10^25atoms

Explanation:

number of moles=mass/molar mass

7.05moles= mass of pyridine/79

reacting mass of pyridine=556.95

C5H5N= (12×5)+(5)+(14)=79

C5=60

to find the mass of carbon in 556.95g of pyridine we take the stoichometric ratio

60[C5] -----> 79[C5H5N]

x[C5] --------> 556.95g[C5H5N]

cross multiply

x=(60×556.95)/79

x=423g of carbon

moles=mass/molar mass

moles of carbon=423/12

moles=35.25moles of carbon

moles=number of particles/Avogadro's constant

35.25=number of particles/6.02×10^23

number of particles=2.122×10^25atoms of carbon

borishaifa [10]
Because the Earth<span> is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equator than at the poles.</span>
The distribution of heat around the globe, and through the year, coupled with the physical properties of air, produce a distinctive pattern of climatic zones.

Are all molecules of a particular substance alike?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, all molecules of a particular substance are similar or alike if the substance has similar shape and structure. Molecule is made up of two or more atoms having no charge on them and the atoms present in it make bonds with each other. For example, water is made of similar molecules i. e. two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom bonded together with a covalent bond.
