Answer:

30 kJ

Explanation:

Arrhenius equation is given by:

k=Aexp(-Ea/RT)\\

Here, k is rate constant, A is Pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy and T is temperature.

taking natural log of both side

ln k = ln A - Ea/RT

In Arrhenius equation, A, R and T are constant.

Therefore,

ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}

Ea_1-Ea_2 is the  lowering in activation energy by enzyme,

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = 37°C + 273.15 = 310 K

\frac{k_2}{k_1} =1\times 10^5

ln 1\times 10^5 =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}\\{Ea_1-Ea_2} = 11.512 \times 8.314 \times 310\\=29670\ J\\=30\ kJ

How much work does a gas do when it expands against a constant pressure of 0.600 atm from a volume of 50.00 mL to a volume of 44
miskamm [114]

Answer:

23.71J is the work that the gas do.

Explanation:

The work that a gas do under isobaric conditions follows the formula:

W = P*ΔV

<em>Where W is work in atmL, P is the pressure and ΔV is final volume -Initial volume In Liters</em>

Replacing with the values of the problem:

W = P*ΔV

W = 0.600atm*(0.44000L - 0.0500L)

W = 0.234atmL

In Joules (1atmL = 101.325J):

0.234atmL × (101.325J / 1 atmL) =

<h3>23.71J is the work that the gas do.</h3>

When 16.0 g of an unknown compound (a nonelectrolyte) are dis solved in exactly 800. g of water, the solution has a freezing poi
dexar [7]

Answer:

A. 266g/mol

Explanation:

A colligative property of matter is freezing point depression. The formula is:

ΔT = i×Kf×m <em>(1)</em>

Where:

ΔT is change in temperature (0°C - -0,14°C = 0,14°C)i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for a nonelectrolyte dissolved in water), kf is freezing point molar constant of solvent (1,86°Cm⁻¹) and m is molality of the solution (moles of solute per kg of solution). The mass of the solution is 816,0g

Replacing in (1):

0,14°C = 1×1,86°Cm⁻¹× mol Solute / 0,816kg

<em>0,0614 = mol of solute</em>.

As molar mass is defined as grams per mole of substance and the compound weights 16,0g:

16,0g / 0,0614 mol = 261 g/mol ≈ <em>A. 266g/mol</em>

I hope it helps!

Describe the shapes and relative energies of the SPD &amp; f atomic orbitals
Deffense [45]

Explanation:

The shapes and relative energies of the orbitals s,p,d and f orbitals are given by the principal quantum number and the azimuthal quantum number.

The principal quantum number gives the main energy level and the azimuthal quantum number denotes the shape of the orbitals.

  • For the principal quantum number, they represent the energy levels in which the orbital is located or the average distance of the orbital from the nucleus. It takes the number n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7......
  • The azimuthal quantum number(L) shows the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons. The number of possible shapes is limited by the the principal quantum number.
