Answer:

a. Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) was the author of Avogadro's Hypothesis in 1811, which, together with Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes, was used by Stanislao Cannizzaro to elegantly remove all doubt about the establishment of the atomic weight scale at the Karlsruhe Conference of 1860. The name "Avogadro's Number" is just an honorary name attached to the calculated value of the number of atoms, molecules, etc. in a gram mole of any chemical substance. Of course if we used some other mass unit for the mole such as "pound mole", the "number" would be different than 6.022 x 1023.

b. The first person to have calculated the number of molecules in any mass of substance was Josef Loschmidt, (1821-1895), an Austrian high school teacher, who in 1865, using the new Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) calculated the number of molecules in one cubic centimeter of gaseous substance under ordinary conditions of temperature of pressure, to be somewhere around 2.6 x 1019 molecules. This is usually known as "Loschmidt's Constant.

Task 2

Percent composition is the percent by mass of each element present in a compound. Water, H2O, is the first example. One mole of water is 18.0152 grams. In that compound, there are two moles of H atoms and 2 x 1.008 = 2.016 grams. That's how many grams of hydrogen are present in one mole of water. this is an example. i don't know what you are describing though. i need more info for this question

b. 6.022 to 6.023 x 10^23

c. i don't know what this one is since there is nothing to describe the unknown liquid.

d. Yes a killer, but not a specific person

Consider this initial-rate data at a certain temperature for the reaction described by N2O3(

Yuliya22 [10]

N2O3(g)→NO(g)+NO2(g)

[N2O3] Initial Rate
0.1 M r(t)=0.66 M/s
0.2 M r(t)=1.32 M/s
0.3 M r(t)=1.98 M/s

We can have the relationship:

([N2O3]/[N2O3]0)^m=r(t)/r0(t)
However,
([N2O3]/[N2O3]0) = 2

Also, we assume m=1 which is the order of the reaction.

Thus, the relationship is simplified to,

r(t)/r0(t) = 2

r(t)=k[N2O3]

0.66 M/s=k×0.1 M

k=6.6 s−1

Which source of water pollution would be the hardest to trace and control?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control

Explanation:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control because they include runoff from farms, golf courses, construction sites, roads. Whereas the single origin of the pollution is harder to trace.

In most lewis dot structures of neutral compounds, carbon as the central atom will be bound to a maximum of how many atoms, nitr

Fittoniya [83]

The total number of elements that one particular element can bond to can be determined by simply drawing the Lewis structure of the element.

Place the chemical symbol
Then look at the group number = valence electrons
Distribute the valence electrons around the atom.

C = 4 bonds
N = 3 bonds
O = 2 bonds

Which of the following is/are true regarding initial and maximal velocity of enzyme-mediated reactions?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

a). A a very low substrate concentration , $$S$ . Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km}$

Here since the $V_0$ varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option (a) is true.

b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km+[S]}$

Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as $V_0$ is directly proportional to [S]. But $V_{max}$ is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.

c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.

d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.

The Gulf Stream flows along the equator before turning north along Florida’s east coast. How does the Gulf Stream impact Florida

nignag [31]

Answer:

The Gulf Stream is influential on the climate of the Florida peninsula.East winds moving over this warm water move warm air from over the Gulf Stream inland, helping to keep temperatures milder across the state than elsewhere across the Southeastern United States during the winter.
