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.

When optically active (S)-2-methylcyclopentanone is treated with aqueous base, the compound loses its optical activity. Explain
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we need to see which is the structure of this compound. Now, racemization occurs basically because we are in an aqueous basic medium, and the ketone can reacts again with water in the medium to form the starting reagent.

First, the base will take out the Alpha hydrogen from the ketone, then, the negative charge goes down and opens up the carbonile group, forming a double bond in there. Later, with the water of the medium, it reacts and substract a proton, and then, with keto enolic equilibrium, forms again the ketone, but this ketone is different from the start, it will be the  R isomer which is not optically active.

See picture below for mechanism

What is the volume of HCl gas required to react with excess magnesium metal to produce 6.82 L of hydrogen gas at 2.19 atm and 35
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

2 HCl(g) + Mg(s) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

Let's calculate the quantity of mole of produced hydrogen with the Ideal Gases Law

P . V = n . R .T

2.19 atm . 6.82L = n . 0.082 . 308K

(2.19 atm . 6.82L) / (0.082 . 308K) = n

0.591 mol = n

1 mol of H₂ gas came from 2 mol of hydrochloric, so, 0.591 mol came from the double of mole

0.591 .2 = 1.182 mole of acid.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.45 g/m

1.182 mole are (36.45 g/m . 1.182g ) contained in 43.1 g

Density HCl = HCl mass / HCl volume

0,118 g/mL = 43.1 g / HCl volume

43.1 g / 0.118 g/mL = 365.3 mL (HCl volume)

How does the atmosphere and the hydrosphere affect climate
Bad White [126]
How is the hydrosphere changing? Human contributions to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are warming the earth's surface - a process which is projected to increase evaporation of surface water and accelerate the hydrologic cycle. In turn, a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor.
