Answer:

142.36 kg

Explanation:

volume of water in the lake = surface area x depth

= 18.5 x ( 1760 x 3 )² x 39 ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ x 28.3168 liter .

= 56.945 x 10¹⁰ liter .

concentration of mercury = .25 x 10⁻⁶ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻⁸ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ kg / liter

mass of mercury in the water of lake

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ x 56.945 x 10¹⁰ kg

= 142.36 kg .

Calculate the mass of 29.8 mL of aluminum, which has a density of 2.00 g/mL.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>59.6 g </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

Density of aluminum = 2.00 g/mL

volume = 29.8 mL

The mass is

mass = 2 × 29.8

We have the final answer as

<h3>59.6 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Answer: Charles's law, Avogadro's law and Boyle's law.

Justification:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature  PV = constant

Charles law states that at constant pressure V/T = constant

Avogadro's law states that at constant pressure ant temperature, equal volume of gases contain equal number of moles: V/n = constant

Ideal gas law states PV/nT = constant => PV = nT*constant = PV = nTR

How does the shape of an enzyme affect its function?
lutik1710 [3]

Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.
