Question options:

1. Insoluble

2. Soluble

3. Solvable

Answer:

Soluble

Explanation:

The solubility is a chemical property referring to the ability of the solute to dissolve in a solvent and form a homogeneous mixture (solution). It is measured in terms of the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

Therefore, a substance is soluble in a particular liquid if it is able to dissolve in a solvent.

Most protein enzymes catalyze only one specific chemical reaction effectively. What feature of protein structure is most directl

babunello [35]

Answer;

d. the specific geometry and types of amino acids in the active site

Explanation;

-Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction. The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site.

-For a substrate to bind to the active site of an enzyme it must fit in the active site and be chemically attracted to it. The shape of an enzyme determines how it works. Enzymes have active sites that substrate molecules (the substances involved in the chemical reaction) fit into when a reaction happens.

A chemist mixes oxygen gas and hydrogen gas to form water, which is composed of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms per molecule.

Flauer [41]

When a chemist mixes oxygen gas and hydrogen gas to form water, which is composed of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms per molecule. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms bounds together by making a bond called covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two atoms are bound together because they each want to "share" each other's electrons.

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

7.66 Write balanced equations for the following reactions: (a) potassium oxide with water, (b) diphosphorus trioxide with water,

White raven [17]

Explanation:

(a) potassium oxide with water

$K_2O(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2KOH(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of potassium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to give 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

(b) diphosphorus trioxide with water

$P_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_3(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide reacts with 2 moles of water to give 2 moles of phosphorus acid.

(c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid,

$Cr_2O_3(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

According to reaction,1 mole of chromium(III) oxide reacts with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 2 moles of chromium(III) chloride and 3 moles of water.

(d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

$SeO_2 (s)+2KOH (aq)\rightarrow K_2SeO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$
