Nitrogen dioxide is used industrially to produce nitric acid, but it contributes to acid rain and photochemical smog. What volum

e (in L) of nitrogen dioxide is formed at 735 torr and 28.2°C by reacting 4.95 cm3 of copper (d = 8.95 g/cm3 ) with 230.0 mL of nitric acid (d = 1.42 g/cm3 , 68.0% HNO3 by mass)?

Answer:

The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L

Explanation:

The reaction of nitric acid with copper is:

Cu(s) + 4HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Moles of copper are:

4.95cm^3\frac{8.95g}{1cm^3} \frac{1mol}{63.55g} = 0.697 moles

Moles of nitric acid are:

230mL\frac{1.42g}{mL} \frac{68g}{100g} \frac{1mol}{63.01g}=3.52moles

As 1 mol of Cu reacts with 4 moles of HNO₃:

0.697 mol Cu × (4mol HNO₃ / 1mol Cu) = 2.79 moles of HNO₃ will react. That means Cu is limiting reactant.

Moles of NO₂ produced are:

0.697 mol Cu × (2mol NO₂ / 1mol Cu) = <em>1.394 moles of NO₂</em>

Using PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure (735torr / 760 = 0.967atm); n are moles (1.394mol); R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK); T is temperature (28.2°C + 273.15 = 301.35K). </em>

Thus, volume is:

V = nRT / P

V = 1.394mol×0.082atmL/molK×301.35K / 0.967atm

V = 35.6L

<em>The volume of nitrogen oxide formed is 35.6L</em>

Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which rese
allsm [11]

Answer:

Here malonic acid acts as a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

Malonic acid structurally resembles succinic acid as a result the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase cannot distinguish between malonic acid and succinic acid.

      That"s why malonic acid interact with succinate dehydrogenase thereby blocking the catalytic activity of the later.

      As this mechanism is a type of competitive inhibition that"s why increasing the concentration of substrate succinic acid can reduce the inhibitory effect of malonic acid.

The isotope 238U, which starts one of the natural radioactive series, decays first by alpha decay followed by two negative beta
Digiron [165]

Answer: The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U} \rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm {Th}+^{4}_{2}n

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow ^{231}_{92}\textrm {Th}+2^{0}_{-1}n

The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}
