Explanation:
Azeotrope is defined as a mixture consisting of two liquids which has constant boiling point and a constant composition throughout the distillation.
For example, the boiling point of water is
and the boiling point of ethanol is
. So, a mixture of ethanol and water will act as a binary azeotrope as there are two components.
As the boiling point of this mixture is below the boiling point of either of the two components then it is also a minimum boiling azeotrope.
Thus, we can conclude that distillation of mixtures of ethanol and water cannot increase the ethanol content of the mixture above 95% because this solution boils at a lower temperature than either pure ethanol or pure water. The term which describes this lower boiling mixture is azeotrope.
Answer:
Correct answer is A.
The higher the enzyme, the higher the Vmax
Explanation:
Although, in the absence of enzyme, the rate of a reaction(Vmax) increase linearly with substrate concentration. The reaction rate is given as dp/dt.
The rate of a reaction involving enzyme also increases.
At low enzyme concentrations or high substrate concentrations, all of the available enzyme active sites could be occupied with substrates. Therefore, increasing the substrate concentration further will not change the rate of diffusion. In other words, there is some maximum reaction rate (Vmax) when all enzyme active sites are occupied. The reaction rate will increase with increasing substrate concentration, but must asymptotically approach the saturation rate, Vmax. Vmax is directly proportional to the total enzyme concentration, E
Answer:
Where the electric potential is constant, the strength of the electric field is zero.
Explanation:
As a test charge moves in a given direction, the rate of change of the electric potential of the charge gives the potential gradient whose negative value is the same as the value of the electric field. In other words, the negative of the slope or gradient of electric potential (V) in a direction, say x, gives the electric field (Eₓ) in that direction. i.e
Eₓ = - dV / dx ----------(i)
From equation (i) above, if electric potential (V) is constant, then the differential (which is the electric field) gives zero.
<em>Therefore, a constant electric potential means that electric field is zero.</em>
Answer:
(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s
(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²
(c) μs = 0.5
Explanation:
(a)
The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:
ω = 2πf
where,
ω = angular speed = ?
f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s
Therefore,
ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)
<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s
</u>
(b)
The centripetal acceleration can be found as:
ac = v²/R
but,
v = Rω
Therefore,
ac = (Rω)²/R
ac = Rω²
therefore,
ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²
<u>ac = 4.92 m/s²
</u>
(c)
In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:
Centripetal Force = Frictional Force
m*ac = μs*R = μs*W
m*ac = μs*mg
ac = μs*g
μs = ac/g
μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)
<u>μs = 0.5</u>
