The answer is the first option. Enzyme and substrate bind using a lock-and-key mechanism. Enzymes act on a specific substrate and a substrate needs a specific enzyme, this is what is called a lock-and-key mechanism. Enzymes and substtates are like a key and a lock, one is for each other.

When 9.2 g of frozen N2O4 is added to a 0.50 L reaction vessel and the vessel is heated to 400 K and allowed to come to equilibr

Amanda [17]

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1.435

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Given mass of $N_2O_4$ = 9.2 g

Molar mass of $N_2O_4$ = 92 g/mol

Volume of solution = 0.50 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{9.2g}{92g/mol\times 0.50L}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.20M$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$

Initial: 0.20

At eqllm: 0.20-x 2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of $N_2O_4$ = 0.057

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (0.20-x)=0.057\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.143$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$

$[NO_2]_{eq}=2x=(2\times 0.143)=0.286M$

$[N_2O_4]_{eq}=0.057M$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(0.286)^2}{0.143}\\\\K_c=1.435$

Hence, the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1.435

Besides glycerol what 3 other molecules make up a triglyceride?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Triglyceride is a molecule constituted by one one molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids. The structure of a glycerol is like a letter "E", where the vertical line ( | ) is the glycerol and the three horizontal lines are long chains of organic acids, each with one COOH group, called fatty acids. The answer is that the other 3 molecules that make up a triglyceride are fatty acids.

Write a net ionic equation to show that benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, behaves as a Brønsted-Lowry acid in water.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that donates H⁺. Let's consider the molecular equation showing that benzoic acid is a Brönsted-Lowry acid.

C₆H₅COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and molecular species.

C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)
