Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An enzyme is similar to a catalyst as it helps in increasing the rate of a biochemical reaction.

Also, like catalysts an enzyme does not get consumed in a reaction. They also help in lowering the activation energy and helps the reactant molecules to cross the energy barrier easily so that rate of reaction speeds up.

Thus, we can conclude that an enzyme could be the catalyst in a chemical reaction.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}$

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$

Estradiol is a female sexual hormone that causes maturation and maintenance of the female reproductive system. Elemental analysi

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_{18}H_{24}O_2$ .

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be $C_xH_yO_z$

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in estradiol :

$\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%$

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol :

$\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%$

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol :

$\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%$

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2$

How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if 37.8 grams of carbon disulfide react with excess oxygen gas at 28.85 degree

alekssr [168]

37.8 grams of CS2 equals to 37.8/76=0.5 mole. So the products have 0.5 mole CO2 which is 11.2 liters at STP. So according to the gas law, the volume at given condition is 12.4 liters. So the answer should be 12.2 liters.
