Answer:

This means the the sign of q for the reaction was _NEGATIVE _____ and the reaction was _EXOTHERMIC_____.

Explanation:

In calorimetry, when heat is absorbed by the solution, the q-value of the solution will have a positive value. This means that the reaction will produce heat for the solution to absorb and thus the q-value for the reaction will be negative. This is an exothermic reaction.

Whereas, when heat is absorbed from the solution, the q-value for the solution will have a negative value. This means that the reaction will absorb heat from the solution and so the reaction is endothermic, and q value for the reaction is positive.

So, from the question, since the q-value of water is positive, it means that heat is absorbed by the solution and the reaction will produce a negative value of q and it's an exothermic reaction because the reaction produces heat for the solution.

Explain the energetic benefits of making the enzyme active site complementary to the transition state rather than to the substra
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the enzyme active site is complementary to the substrate conformation rather than to the transition state, it is unlikely that the reaction will proceed and release a product, because the enzyme-substrate complex will be tightly bound (ΔG will raise).

On the other hand, when the enzyme active site is complementary to the transition state, the substrate will not be tightly bound and will be more prone to be transformed into the product (<u>ΔG will be lowered</u>) and afterward, be released.

The weak interactions (non-covalent bonds) will stabilize the energy of the transition state and reduce its energy, thus lowering the activation energy). If the transition state is stable, it will form more easily and<u> the reaction will be more likely to proceed.</u>

Is the equation for reaction 1 balanced? Explain your reasoning. If the reaction is not balanced, then state how you would balan
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Reaction is already balanced

Explanation:

The equation in reaction 1 is given as;

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 --> CO2 + H2O +  Na+   +  CH3COO-

The reaction is already balanced. This is because the umber of atoms of elements in the reactant is equal to that of the products

Carbon

Reactant = 2 + 1 = 3

Product = 2 + 2 = 3

Hydrogen

Reactant = 3 + 1 + 1 = 5

Product = 2 + 3 = 5

Oxygen

Reactant = 2 + 3 = 5

Product = 2 +1 + 2 = 5

Sodium

Reactant = 1

Product = 1

in a typical person, the level of glucose is about 85 mg/ 100 mL of blood. if an average body contains about 11 pt of blood, how
Vanyuwa [196]

Let's note that 1 pint = 473.1765 mL, so 11 pints should be 5204.9415 mL.

We make a proportion out of the word problem

(85 mg glucose/ 100 mL) times (1 g/ 1000 mg) = 4.4242 grams of glucose

If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?
e-lub [12.9K]
Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

 20       20        0
F  -> Ne    +     e
 9         10       -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
