Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

How does a hydroelectric power plant convert energy?

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. As water flows through the channels toward the turbines, it has kinetic energy. This is changed to mechanical energy as the water turns the turbines. Then the mechanical energy of the turbines is changed to electrical energy by the generator.

If 156 grams of chromium react with an excess of oxygen, as shown in the balanced chemical equation below, how many grams of chr

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

=759.95 grams.

Explanation:

The molar mass of chromium is 51.9961 g/mol

Therefore the number of moles of chromium in 156 grams is:

Number of moles =mass/RAM

=156g/51.9961g/mol

=3 moles.

From the equation provided, 3 moles of chromium metal produce 2 moles of Chromium oxide.

Therefore 3 moles of chromium produce:

(3×2)/4 moles =1.5 moles of chromium oxide.

I mole of chromium oxide has a mass of 151.99 g

Thus 1.5 moles= 1.5mole ×151.99 g/mol

=759.95 grams.

A 0.75M solution of CH3OH is prepared in 0.500 kg of water. How many moles of CH3OH are needed?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution

Explanation:

For the problem they give us the following data:

Solution concentration 0,75 M

Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg

knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL, we find the volume of water:

$d = \frac{g}{mL} \\\\ V= \frac{g}{d} = \frac{500g}{1 \frac{g}{mL} } = 500mL = 0,5 L$

Now, find moles of $CH_{3} OH$ are needed using the molarity equation:

$M = \frac{ moles }{ V (L)} \\\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = M . V(L) = 0,75 M . 0,5 L\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = 0,375 mol$

therefore the solution is prepared using 0.5 L of H2O and 0.375 moles of CH3OH, resulting in a concentration of 0,75M
