It depends on the nature of rock. The water may cause the rock to weather by chemical reaction.

Mostly, Rain causes mechanical weathering.

Phosphine, an extremely poisonous and highly reactive gas, will react with oxygen to form tetraphosphorus decoxide and water, as

erica [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of $P_4O_{10}$ formed is 469.8 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Given mass of phosphine = 225 g

Molar mass of phosphine = 34 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of phosphine}=\frac{225g}{34g/mol}=6.62mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$4PH_3(g)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)+6H_2O(g)$

Assuming that oxygen gas is present in excess, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Phosphine is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of phosphine produces 1 mole of $P_4O_{10}$

So, 6.62 moles of phosphine will produce = $\frac{1}{4}\times 6.62=1.655mol$ of $P_4O_{10}$

Now, calculating the mass of $P_4O_{10}$ by using equation 1:

Molar mass of $P_4O_{10}$ = 283.9 g/mol

Moles of $P_4O_{10}$ = 1.655 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.655mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }P_4O_{10}}{283.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }P_4O_{10}=(1.655mol\times 283.9g/mol)=469.8g$

Hence, the amount of $P_4O_{10}$ formed is 469.8 grams.

No amino acid molecule by itself can speed up or catalyze reactions between other molecules; however, when amino acids are joine

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

That the enzyme is a protein

Explanation:

Remember the proteins are groups of thousands of amino acids, by their owns, since they are very small units, they can not act as a catalyst.

But as a polymer, the protein enzyme, have different shape, size and physical and chemical properties than a single monomer.

Remember also the proteins to be active, they need certain number of amino acids join together to form a specific shape that is going to match with another molecule to speed the chemical reaction and act as an enzyme.

How electron infinity depends upon nuclear force of attraction

almond37 [142]

Answer:

There are two factors that can affect electron affinity. These are atomic size and nuclear charge. ... The smaller the atom is, the closer the outermost shell is; therefore, it is a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the incoming electron. That means the electron affinity is higher for smaller atoms.

i have an unknown volume of gas at a pressure of 0.50 atm a temperature of 325 k. If i raise the pressure to 1.2 atm, decrease t

Ronch [10]

Assuming that the number of mols are constant for both conditions:
$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$
Now you plug in the given values. V_1 is the unknown.
$\frac{0.50 atm*V_1}{325K} = \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L}{230K}
$
Separate V_1
$V_1= \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L * 325K }{230K*0.50 atm }$
V= 162.782608696 L

There are 2 sig figs

V= 160 L
