Salivary amylase is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands that breaks down carbohydrates. What will happen to this enzyme as

it follows the food into the stomach where the ph drops to 2.5?

Chemistry
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It will be denatured.

Explanation:

Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.

At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.

The boiling point of water is 1000C.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.

You have a cup of tea (250 ml) that is 375 K which is too hot to drink. It needs to be cooled to 350 K before you can drink it.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The hot tea should transfer <em>25.63 kJ</em> the surroundings to cool the tea.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat has to be transferred from the tea to the surroundings to cool the tea (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of the hot tea (m = dV = (1.0 g/mL)(250 mL) = 250 g), suppose the density of water is the density of tea.

c is the specific heat of the hot tea (c = 4.10 J/°C.g).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 350 K - 375 K = -25°C).

<em>∴ Q = m.c.ΔT</em> = (250 g)(4.10 J/°C.g)(-25°C)) = <em>- 25630 J = - 25.63 kJ.</em>

<em>So, the hot tea should transfer 25.63 kJ the surroundings to cool the tea.</em>

What would be the effect on the calculated ratio (mole of copper:mole of iron) if:
kotegsom [21]

Explanation:

Since the ratio is Cu/Fe, if some Fe were lost due to spillage, the Cu/Fe ratio would INCREASE because Fe would be lower.

B. What do you notice about the density of the sinking objects? Dense objects feel very heavy for their size
puteri [66]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit of volume. Dense objects feel very heavy for their size, while for objects with low density they are very light for their size.  

Density is the ratio of mass to volume; it is given by:

Density (D) = mass (m) / volume (V)

An object sinks in water if the density of the object is greater than the density of water. While an objects floats on water if the density of the object is les than the density of water
