Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is the alcohol found in beverages. It is oxidized in the body to

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B) Ethanol must act as a competitive inhibitor for the alcohol dehydrogenase and therefore slows the formation of formaldehyde.

Explanation:

An<em> inhibitor</em> is a substance that binds to an enzime and prevents it to react with a substrate. In this case, the inhibitor is ethanol, binding to the enzime (alcohol dehydrogenase) <u>and preventing it to react with methanol and thus from it form the toxic formaldehyde</u>.

A competitive inhibitor has a similar structure to the substrate, that is why it binds to the same active site. In this case, ethanol has a similar structure to methanol, which is why the answer is B and not A.

8 3

10 3

6 3

9 3

13 3

Explanation:

First of you add the subscripts (the little numbers after the letters) and multiply the big numbers before the letters together to get the number of atoms

For Example:

O= 1 atom

Si{2}= 2 atoms

Mg{5}C{6}= 11 atoms

3Na{2}= 6 atoms

O(SiNa){2}= OSi{2}Na{2}= 5 atoms

Each Capital letter is a new Element

For Example:

O = 1 Element

NaSi = 2 Elements

Students in physics class are asked to find the relationship between the length of a pendulum (string with a weight at the botto
Goshia [24]

Answer:

1)Time \ for \ pendulum \ swing \ left \ and \ right = 2 \times \pi \times \sqrt{\dfrac{Length \ of \ the \ pendulum \ string}{g} }

2) The dependent variable = The time it takes for one pendulum swing

3) The independent variable = The length of the pendulum string with weight at the bottom

Explanation:

The relationship between the length of the pendulum string and the time it takes for one pendulum swing is giving as follows;

T = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g} }

Where;

T = The period of oscillation = The time to complete one oscillation =Two swings of the pendulum

L = The length of the pendulum

g = The acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the time it takes for one pendulum swing is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

The dependent variable = The time it takes for one pendulum swing

Th independent variable = The length of the pendulum string with weight at the bottom.

White phosphorus, P4, spontaneously bursts into flame when exposed to oxygen. If 6.500 g of white phosphorus reacts with oxygen
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Empirical formula for the oxide is P₂O₃

Explanation:

Oxides from P, are:

P₂O; P₂O₃; P₂O₅; P₂O₇; P₄O₆; P₄O₁₀

The reaction is:

P₄  +  3O₂  →  P₄O₆

Ratio between the white phosphorus and the oxide is 1:1

Molar mass P₄ = 123.89 g/m

Mass / Molar mass = mole

6.5 g/ 123.89 g/m = 0.0524 mole P₄

0.0524 mole of P₄O₆ have been formed.

Molar mass P₄O₆  = 219.89 g/m

Mol . molar mass = mass

0.0524 mole . 219.89 g/m = 11.52 g
