Answer:

We previously learned that digestion of carbohydrates, and in particular starches, begins in the mouth with the action of salivary amylase. This enzyme catalyzes, or speeds along, the hydrolysis of the starch molecule.

Kc = 3.07 x 10-4 at 24°C for 2NOBr(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + Br2(g). If the initial concentration of NOBr = 0.878 M, what is the equilibrium

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.02124 M.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial concentration of NOBr = 0.878 M

$k_{c}=3.07\times10^{-4}$

Temperature = 24°C

We know that,

The balance equation is

$2NOBr\Rightarrow 2NO+Br_{2}$

Initial concentration is,

$0.878\Rightarrow 0+0$

Concentration is,

$-2x\Rightarrow 2x+x$

Equilibrium concentration

$0.878-2x\Rightarrow 2x+x$

We need to calculate the value of x

Using formula of concentration

$k_{c}=\dfrac{[NO][Br_{2}]}{[NOBr]^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$3.07\times10^{-4}=\dfrac{[2x][x]}{[0.878-2x]^2}$

$2x^2=3.07\times10^{-4}\times(0.878)^2+3.07\times10^{-4}\times4x^2-2\times2x\times0.878\times3\times10^{-4}$

$2x^2=0.0002367+0.001228x^2-0.0010536x$

$2x^2-0.001228x^2+0.0010536x-0.0002367=0$

$1.998772x^2+0.0010536x-0.0002367=0$

$x=0, 0.01062$

We need to calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO

Using formula of concentration of NO

$concentration\ of\ NO=2x$

Put the value of x

$concentration\ of\ NO=2\times0.01062$

$concentration\ of\ NO=0.02124$

Hence, The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.02124 M.

Relative to protons, electrons have:

saw5 [17]

Answer:

(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons

Explanation:

The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 × $10^{-28}$ g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.

The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.

what is the pH of a solution prepared from solid, neutral 2-nitrophenol providing a fromal concentration of 0.0353M, given that

REY [17]

Answer:

pH = 4.34

Explanation:

pH= -1/2(logKa) -1/2(log C)

= -1/2( log 5.98*10^-8) -1/2(log 0.0353)

=-1/2(-7.22)-1/2(-1.45)

=3.61+0.725= 4.34

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:

Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )$ ,

where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from $n_1$ to $n_2$ and $R_h$ = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here $n_1$ and $n_2$ represents the transitions.

(a) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = infinity

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2} )$ = 109677/4 [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, $\lambda$ = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m
