A solution of an enzyme normally found in the human body was added to a flask containing a solution of proteins in distilled wat

er, and then the flask was stoppered. This mixture was then maintained at a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a pH of 7 for 48 hours. When the mixture was analyzed, the presence of amino acids was noted. One way to speed up the production of amino acids in the flask would be to
1. increase the temperature from 27 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees Celsius
2. increase the pH from 7 to 12
3. place the flask in bright light
decrease the amount of enzyme added

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

increase the temperature from 27 degrees celsius to 37 degrees celsius

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised.
  • <em><u>The human body is maintained at 37°C as this is the temperature at which the enzymes in our body work best. Therefore increasing the temperature from 27 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees Celsius increases enzyme activity and in turn increases the production of amino acid in the flask.</u></em>
  • Higher temperatures than 37° C which is the optimum temperature, disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce enyzme activity, or prevent it from working, in other words the enzyme will have been denatured.

Now they feel it is best to have you identify an unknown gas based on its properties. Suppose 0.508 g of a gas occupies a volume
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             mass = 0.508 g,               Volume = 0.175 L

             Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K,       P = 1 atm

As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

where,  n = no. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.

               PV = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT            

           1 atm \times 0.175 L = \frac{0.508 g}{\text{molar mass}} \times 0.0821 L atm/ K mol \times 298 K  

                            = 71.02 g

As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of Cl_{2} is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).

Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.

Lady bird [3.3K]

The heat that creates this temperature change coming from change in the internal energy of the system as per as first law of thermodynamics.

<h3>What is Boyle's law ?</h3>

A law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

As we know, Boyle's law only works when the gas is kept at a constant temperature

Here,

When volume of gases decreased, it means work done has occurred on the system, so the work done is used for raising internal energy of the gas and the other is released as the thermal energy.

So,

According to 1st law of thermodynamics,

we know  Q =  ΔU + W  i.e, change in internal energy and work done. So this is a reason. Changing temperature occurs.
