What is the difference between an enzyme and a catalyst?

1 answer:

6 0

Catalyst- chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed from the reaction. Enzyme- substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a particular biochemical reaction. Hope it helps.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use the Nernst equation which (in standard conditions of temperature)

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

However R and F are constant, and the reaction is taking place in 25 °C so we can assume the nernst equation like this:

E = E° - 0.05916/n logQ

As the nickel is in the cathode, this means that this element is being reducted while Cadmium is being oxidized, therefore the REDOX reaction would be:

Cd(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) --------> Cd²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

With this, Q:

Q = [Cd²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

Now, we need to know the value of the standard reduction potentials, which can be calculated with the semi equations of reduction and oxidation:

Cd(s) ------------> Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ E°₁ = 0.40 V

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -------------> Ni(s) E°₂ = -0.25 V

E° = E°₁ + E°₂

E° = 0.40 - 0.25 = 0.15 V

Now that we have all the data, we can solve for the [Ni²⁺]:

0.133 = 0.15 - 0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.133 - 0.15 = -0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017 = -0.02958 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017/-0.02958 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.5747 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

10^(0.5747) = 5/[Ni²⁺]

[Ni²⁺] = 5/3.7558

How has the fishing industry along the Chesapeake Bay changed in the last 25 years?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

In the last 25 years, the fish hunt in the Chesapeake Bay occurred very fastly due to which the fish industry enhanced. However, this rapid fish industrialization caused many of the fish species to become endangered. Hence, the fish industries started to use two basic management techniques which were conservation and allocation.

2) what is the mass of 6.02 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?

zzz [600]

Data:
Arsenic Molar Mass = 74,9216 ≈ 75 u (<span>atomic mass unit)</span>

Solving:

1 mole of arsenic → 75g ------------ 6,02*10²³ molecules
..................................X -------------- 1 molecule

6,02*10²³X = 75
$x = \frac{75}{6,02*10^{23}}$
$\boxed{x \approx 1,24*10^{24}grams}$
