You have just completed assaying the change in absorbance for an enzyme. The initial absorbance was 0.022; the absorbance after

5 minutes was 0.444. Calculate the rate of enzyme activity for this sample (as increase in A per 10 minutes). Show your work. What is a RATE and name some RATES that you commonly encounter.

Answer:

The answer is 0.844/10 minutes

Explanation:

You have an enzyme that catalizes a reaction which gives a product that can be quantified by an absorbance measurement. The more reaction time, the more product quantity and higher absorbance.

The rate of the reaction is the change in products quantity per time unit. As you are using the absorbance as a measure of the product quantity, you can calculate the rate as the change in absorbance (ΔA) per time (in minutes) as follows:

rate= ΔA/time

rate= (final absorbance - initial absorbance) /minutes

rate= (0.444-0.022)/5 min

rate= 0.422/5 min

In 10 minutes will be :

rate= 0.844/10 min

Commonly, a rate is the relation between two quantities measured in different units. For example, the speed of a car is the change in meters (traveled distance) per time (m/s or km/h). For an enzyme, is the same (quantity of product/time).

Can the same fertilizer be applied to all types of soil ? Explain​
Arte-miy333 [17]
You cant use the same fertilizer for all soils bc differnt soils have different nutrients like lets say ur growing tomatoes with cabbage it wouldnt work bc they need different nutrients for them to grow. This is used with trees, veggies, plants and fruits. it is true somw can use the same fertilizer if they can be grown with it. if you give it the wrong nutrients it can die or not grow

Perform the following mathematical operation and report the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures. 5.4-4.21
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1.2   ( two significant digits)

Explanation:

5.4 - 4.21        answer should only have the the number of significant digits as the number in the equation with the least number of significant digits... in this case   5.4   is only two significant digits....so the answer should only have two significant digits

5.4 - 4.21 = 1.19     round to two digits = 1.2

Sand, water and gravel (Cement)

Water and salt (Sea water)

Potassium nitrate, sulfur, and carbon (Gunpowder)

Oxygen and water (Sea foam)

Petroleum, hydrocarbons, and fuel additives (Gasoline)

Heterogeneous mixtures possess different properties and compositions in various parts i.e. the properties are not uniform throughout the mixture.

Examples of Heterogeneous mixtures – air, oil, and water, etc.

Examples of Homogeneous mixtures – alloys, salt, and water, alcohol in water, etc.
