A person weighed 15 pennies on a balance and recorded the following masses:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Artist 52 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A)  yes

B) The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

Explanation:

A) I think the the Bureau of Mint changed the way it made pennies because from the experiment and observation carried out on 15 different pennies it can be seen that they had different weights and this difference is associated with the period/time of production of the different pennies,

B ) The average mass of any object should be expressed in the si unit of mass and not having ($) sign attached to the value instead it should be expressed in grams or kilograms (s.i unit of mass )

The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

Write a covalent compound formed by nitrogen and oxygen. what is its Lewis structure​
iragen [17]

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.

Suppose the formation of iodine proceeds by the following mechanism:
NARA [144]

Answer:

Overall reaction

H2(g) + 2ICI(g) -----> I2(g) +2HCl(g)

Overall Rate = k1[H2] [ICl]

Explanation:

Overall reaction

H2(g) + 2ICI(g) -----> I2(g) +2HCl(g)

The overall reaction is the sum of the two two reactions shown in the question. After the two reactions are summed up properly, this overall reaction equation his obtained.

Since K1<<K2 it means that step 1 is slower than step 2. Recall that the rate if reaction depends on the slowest step of the reaction. Hence

Overall Rate = k1[H2] [ICl]
