<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is </u><u>D.  Enzymes reduce the activation energies of biological reactions.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up during the reaction. They are biological catalysts. Catalysts, as we know lower the activation energy for reactions and speed them up. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy which is option D.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? [1] Cola [2] Brass Air Coffee with sugar stirred in [5] [3] Soil
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Soil is heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which components are evenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles are similar in these mixtures.

For example : alloys, salt solution.

Heterogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which component are unevenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles differ in these mixtures.

For example : sand in a water, soil etc.

Brass is an alloy homogeneous mixture of metals.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases.

Coffee with sugar stirred in is also homogeneous mixture.

Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.

If you combine 320.0 ml of water at 25.00 °c and 120.0 ml of water at 95.00 °c, what is the final temperature of the mixture? us
Inga [223]
The heat from the hotter water will go into the colder water untl equilibrium is reached. Equilibrium is same temperature!

Now, the heat is proportional to the mass, the specific heat and the temperature difference. The specific heat does not matter since all is water, it will cancel out:

m_1 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_1 ) = -m_2 * c_H20 * ( T_final - T_2)

Notice the minus, because one wins the heat of the one who loses it. In this way both sides have the same sign:

m_1*(T_final - T_1)=-m_2*(T_final-T_2), or after some simple algebra:

T_final = (m_1 * T_1 + m_2 * T_2 )/(m_1+m_2),

which looks like an arithmetic mean, and one could have gone for this, but the above shows all the work. Notice that if T_1=T_2, T_final=T_1 always, which makes sense.

Now you can convert volume to mass with the density, but since mass = density*volume and it is all water, the density will cancel out and you can work with volumes. If you prefer just say: 120 ml->120 g , etc ...

T_final = (120*95+320*25)/(320+120)=44.0909 degrees Celsius, or ~ 44.09 degrees with two decimal precision as your statement (beware of precision always!).

Which substance would retain the most heat for
djyliett [7]

The aluminium substances would retain the most heat for the longest period of time.

<h3>What is retaining heat?</h3>

Retaining of heat is the quantity of heat that a substance or medium can store over time or the amount of heat that a specific amount of that substance can hold in itself. Substances that store heat 'well' (for a long time) also require a long time to heat up.

Copper and aluminium have the highest thermal conductivity among the more common metals, whereas steel and bronze have the lowest. When determining the metal to utilise for a certain application, heat conductivity is a critical quality to consider.

In addition, potassium has the highest specific heat and the longest heat retention time. Polystyrene, a polymeric polymer, can retain heat for up to 11 hours. This implies it can hold heat for extended periods of time.

Hence the aluminium substances would retain the most heat for the longest period of time.
