Answer:

Denaturation causes loss of enzyme activity which is necessary for biochemical reaction.

Hence many biological process(respiration,digestion,excretion) won't work properly.

Explanation:

Enzymes : These are biological catalyst made of proteins.E.g Pepsin, tyrosine (human digestion)

Denaturation: loss of Quaternary ,tertiary and secondary structure of proteins and nucleic acid because of extreme conditions of temperature , pressure ,pH etc.

When denaturation occur enzymes loss their specific structure, so they can't carry out various life process (e.g respiration, digestion ,excretion).

Enzymes are involved in all biological reaction and work only at optimum temperature ,pH and pressure(human body condition ).

A 0.300 m solution of hcl is prepared by adding some 1.50 m hcl to a 500 ml volumetric flask and diluting to the mark with deion

liberstina [14]

In dilution we add distilled water to decrease the concentration of required sample from high concentration to lower concentration
The law used for dilution:
M₁V₁]Before dilution = M₂V₂] After dilution
M₁ = 1.5 M
V₁ = ?
M₂ = 0.3 M
V₂ = 500 ml
1.5 * V₁ = 0.3 * 500 ml
so V₁ = 100 ml and it completed to 500 ml using 400 ml deionized water

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N

Montano1993 [528]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Urea (CH₄N₂O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2NH₃(aq) + CO₂(aq) → CH₄N₂O(aq) + H₂O(l) In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 135.9 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 178.0 kg of urea.

Determine the limiting reactant. (express your answer as a chemical formula)

Answer: The limiting reactant is ammonia $(NH_3)$
