In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to

air, some of the calcium bicarbonate turns into calcium carbonate, which gets deposited on the ground. What makes this process a chemical change?

In the alkaline phosphatase assay, you will you be monitoring the formation of product by measuring the absorbance of the soluti
blondinia [14]

Answer:

a. At pH 9, the product, p-nitrophenol, will be ionized, the solution will appear yellow in color, and thus can be monitored at the wavelength of maximum absorption for the phenolate ion which is 400nm

Explanation:

In alkaline phosphatase assay, the hydrolysis of p nitrophenyl phosphate to p nitrophenol happens. When the ph is 9, the product which is p nitrophenol would undergo ionization. The solution is going to appear to be of yellow and it can be monitored at a wavelength for maximum absorption of phenolate ions at 400nm.

Option A is the answer to the question.

Which substance will require more energy to heat if all the samples have the same mass? A chart with two columns and nine rows.
Paraphin [41]

Here we have to identify the sample which need more energy to heat the sample 1 degree Celsius.

Among the given elements magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.

As per the definition of specific heat of a compound, the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the material 1 degree Celsius is the specific heat of the material.

The given data are-

substance              specific heat

Lead                            0.129

Tin                                0.21

Silver                            0.235

Iron                              0.449

Calcium                        0.647

Granite                         0.803

Aluminium                   0.897

Magnesium                  1.023

From the given data lead, magnesium, iron and aluminium have the specific heat 0.129, 1.023, 0.449 and 0.897 respectively. Thus magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.

The ozone "hole" over Antarctica formed as the result of a series of chemical reactions. The loss occurs in part through three c
mixer [17]

Answer:

A)

Cl + O3 --> ClO + O2

2ClO --> ClOOCl

ClOOCl --> 2 Cl + O2

B)

Cl2 + 4O3 -> 2 ClO + 5O2

Explanation:

Step 1: Chlorine atoms react with ozone (O3) to form chlorine monoxide and molecular oxygen

Cl + O3 --> ClO + O2

Step 2: Chlorine monoxide molecules combine to form ClOOCl gas

2ClO --> ClOOCl

Step 3: ClOOCl absorbs sunlight and breaks into chlorine atoms and molecular oxygen

ClOOCl --> 2 Cl + O2

B) Overall Balanced equation

Cl2 + 4O3 -> 2 ClO + 5O2
