Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello

(a) In this case, one uses the following formulas, which allow to compute the mass fraction of each component:\% O_2=\frac{m_{O_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{4kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=25\%O_2\\\% N_2=\frac{m_{N_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{5kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=31.25\%N_2\\\% CO_2=\frac{m_{CO_2}}{m_{O_2}+m_{N_2}+m_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{7kg}{4kg+5kg+7kg}*100\%=43.75\%CO_2

(b) For the mole fractions, it is necessary to find all the components' moles by using their molar mass as shown below:

n_{O_2}=4kgO_2*\frac{1kmolO_2}{32kgO_2} =0.125kmolO_2\\n_{N_2}=5kgN_2*\frac{1kmolN_2}{28kgN_2} =0.179kmolN_2\\n_{CO_2}=7kgCO_2*\frac{1kmolCO_2}{44kgCO_2} =0.159kmolCO_2

Now, the mole fractions:

x_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.125kmolO_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=27\%O_2\\x_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.179kmolN_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=38.7\%N_2\\ x_{CO_2}=\frac{n_{CO_2}}{n_{O_2}+n_{N_2}+n_{CO_2}}*100\%=\frac{0.159kmolCO_2}{0.125kmolO_2+0.179kmolN_2+0.159kmolCO_2}*100\%=34.3\%CO_2

(c) Finally the average molar mass is computed considering the molar fractions and each component's molar mass:

M_{average}=0.27*32g/mol+0.387*28g/mol+0.343*44g/mol=34.57g/mol

And the gas constant:

Rg=0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*\frac{1mol}{34.57g}=0.00237\frac{atm*L}{g*K}

Best regards.

Two chemist are trying to determine if their water sample is a mixture or pure substance. In their investigation they first filt
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is option B. Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The dirty water sample has both gravel and liquid water in it. After filtration the gravel is removed so the water sample looks clearer than before filtration. Liquid water is a pure substance because it is a compound that is made up of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Now the gravel is only physically combined with the liquid water, thus giving the water sample properties of a mixture. And like any mixture, gravel is physically separated through filtration from the liquid water.

Thus the water sample of the chemists is both a mixture and pure substance.

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.

just olya [345]

Answer:

magnesium= +2

aluminum= +3

phosphorous= -3

lithium= +1

fluorine= -1

Explanation:

As fluorine having seven valance electrons in its outer most shell with atomic number nine. And for completing its outer most shell it needs one more electron that is why it form ion of -1 value.

Now  Aluminum has three electrons in its outer most shell with atomic number 13. So it need to lose these three electrons in order to be in stable state that is why it have ion in +3 state.

Same rule apply for other elements too.
