Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.381g

Mass of H_2O=0.692g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

What class of enzyme catalyzes addition of oxygen?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is Lyase

Explanation:

Any enzyme that catalyzes the addition or removal of the elements water (hydrogen, oxygen), ammonia (nitrogen, hydrogen), or carbon dioxide (carbon, oxygen) at double bonds, as defined in physiology. Decarboxylases, for example, remove carbon dioxide from amino acids, while dehydrases eliminate water.
