The pH affects the activiy of enzymes.

Enzymes are a catalysts. They affect the speed of reaction.

Extreme pHs, very low or very high, regularly drives to a poor performance of the enzymes, even to total loss of activity.

pH 3.0 is a very acid pH and any enzyme will not show activity at that pH.

The optimum range of pH for Amylase is 6.7 to 7.0, that is why she found that the reaction was fastest at pH 6.7.

For IR radiation with û = 1,130 cm 1, v=__THz

Dmitry [639]

<u>Answer:</u> The frequency of the radiation is 33.9 THz

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Wave number of the radiation, $\bar{\nu}=1130cm^{-1}$

Wave number is defined as the number of wavelengths per unit length.

Mathematically,

$\bar{\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}$

where,

$\bar{\nu}$ = wave number = $1130cm^{-1}$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1130cm^{-1}=\farc{1}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1130cm^{-1}}=8.850\times 10^{-4}cm$

Converting this into meters, we use the conversion factor:

1 m = 100 cm

So, $8.850\times 10^{-4}cm=8.850\times 10^{-4}\times 10^{-2}=8.850\times 10^{-6}m$

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given as:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

c = the speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\nu$ = frequency of the radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{8.850\times 10^{-4}m}$

$\nu=0.339\times 10^{14}Hz$

Converting this into tera Hertz, we use the conversion factor:

$1THz=1\times 10^{12}Hz$

So, $0.339\times 10^{14}Hz\times \frac{1THz}{1\times 10^{12}Hz}=33.9THz$

Hence, the frequency of the radiation is 33.9 THz

A gas occupies a volume of 72 ml at 400 k and 800 torr. if the temperature drops to 200 k and the pressure changes to 400 torr,

satela [25.4K]

We are tasked to solve for the volume of the gas that occupies when pressure and temperature changes to 400 Torr and 200 Kelvin from Torr and 400 Kelvin. We can use ideal gas law assuming constant gas composition and close system. The solution is shown below:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2
V2 = 800*72*200 / 400*400
V2 = 72 ml

The answer for the volume is 72 ml.

A 250.0 gram block is placed on a balance. The balance measures the mass of the block as 243.9 grams. What is the percent error

adell [148]

To compute the percent error, you divide the absolute difference between the actual value and the measured value with the actual value. Then, multiply it with 100 to get the percentage. The solution is as follows:

Percent error = (250 - 243.9)/250 * 100
Percent error = 2.44%
