Answer:

Explanation:

The food contains the large proportion of water and added insoluble fibers which also contains essential nutrients does not add up much to the total gram weight of the food.

When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

Answer:

1. By Pressure factor: if we double the pressure volume become half of its original

2. 2.14 L

3. 2.15 L

Explanation:

part 1

Data Given:

volume of container change

temperature of remain constant

The pressure doubles

Solution:

This problem can be explained by Boyle's Law that at constant temperature pressure and volume has an inverse relation with each other.

So the volume change due to change in Pressure.

            P1V1 = P2V2

if we consider conditions at STP, as follows

initial volume V1 = 22.42 L

and

initial pressure P1 = 1 atm

if the pressure doubles then

final pressure P2 = 2 atm

Put values in Boyle's law equation

     (1 atm) (22.42L) = (2 atm) (V2)

Rearrange the above equation to find V2

           V2 =    (1 atm) (22.42L) / 2 atm

            V2 = 11.12 L

So it is clear from calculation if we double the pressure volume become half of its original. So its the pressure due to volume become effected and decrease by its increase.

_____________

Part 2

Data Given:

Initial temperature T1= 250 K

final Temperature T2= 350 K

initial volume V1 =  ?

final volume V2 = 3.0 L

Solution:

This problem will be solved by Charles' Law equation at constant pressure

      V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 . . . . . . . . (1)

put values in above equation

      V1 / 250 K = 3.0 L / 350 K

Rearrange the above equation to calculate V1

       V1  = (3.0 L / 350 K) x 250 K

       V1  = (0.0086 L . K) x 250 K

       V1  = 2.14 L

So the initial volume = 2.14 L

_________________

part 3

Data Given:

Initial temperature T1= 20 ºC

Convert Temperature from ºC to Kelvin

T = ºC + 273

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K

final Temperature T2= -5.00 ºC

Convert Temperature from ºC to Kelvin

T = ºC + 273

T = - 5.00 + 273 = 268 K

initial volume V1 =  2.35 L

final volume V2 = ?

Solution:

This problem will be solved by Charles' Law equation at constant pressure

      V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 . . . . . . . . (1)

put values in above equation

      2.35 L / 293 K = V2 / 268 K

Rearrange the above equation to calculate V1

       V2  = (2.35 L / 293 K) x 268 K

       V2  = (0.008 L . K) x 268 K

       V2  = 2.15 L

So the volume at -5.00ºC = 2.15 L

Match the specific enzyme to its class. A. oxidoreductase B. hydrolase C. transferase D. ligase E. lyase aminase
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Every enzyme has a specific name that can give us insight into the specific reaction that that enzyme can catalyze. We divide them into six different categories.

1) Oxidoreductase - includes two different types of reactions by transferring electrons from either molecule A to B or vice versa. It is involved in oxidizing electrons away from a molecule.

2) Hydrolase - uses water to divide a molecule into two other molecules.

3) Transferase - you move some functional group X from molecule B to molecule A

4) Ligase - catalyzes reactions between two molecules, A and B, that are combining to form a complex between the two. (example: DNA replication)

5) Lyase - divides a molecule into two other molecules without using water and without reducing or oxidation

Do oil and water mix?
lions [1.4K]
No they do not. Water is denser than oil so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats.
