Just as heat can denature enzymes, so can a change in the pH. Enzymes that normally work in an acidic environment in the body ca

n become denatured if the pH becomes too alkaline. And enzymes that normally work in alkaline environments in the body can become denatured if the pH becomes too acidic. Taking an antacid to reduce the acidity (and increase the pH) of the stomach and to relieve heartburn can make a person more comfortable. What would be the major drawback to taking too many antacids?

Answer:

Too much antacid which then cause a major decrease in acidity which would cause the enzymes in the stomach (which operate optimally at high acidity) to be denatured.

Explanation:

Enzymes in the stomach function optimally at high acidity. Antacids are generally basic solution which reduces the acidity in the stomach hence relieve heartburn. Excess antacid will cause the operating conditions to be basic, hence lead to denature of the enzymes.

Answer:

It will create an alkaline environment and can lead to denaturation of acidic enzymes.

Explanation:

<em>Taking too much antacids will significantly increase the pH of the stomach and create an alkaline environment within it. Consequently, enzymes that normally work in acidic environments in the body can become denatured or rendered inactive. This will create another problem for the individual.</em>

How do biologists learn which organisms we're the ancestors of today's plants?
Norma-Jean [14]

by classifying into categories that get smaller and smaller  these are the classification steps :  life , domain , kingdom , phylum , class,  order , family , genus , and species every time you narrow it down the option gets smaller and smaller till there's none left except the species it self .

Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction betwe
shusha [124]

Answer:  The reaction order with respect to A is m

Explanation:

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

For the given reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD  

Rate=k[A]^m[B]^n

In this equation, the order with respect to each reactant is not equal to its stoichiometric coefficient which is represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

Hence, this is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Order with respect to A = m

Order with respect to B = n

Overall order = m+n

Thus order with respect to A is m.
