Answer:  d. Increasing the amount of benzoquinone

Explanation:  The given situation can be written in terms of the equation as follows-

Catechol + Oxygen ⇆ Benzoquinone + water (catechol oxidase is the catalyst)

Le chatleir Principle for the system of equilibrium explains that whenever a reaction is being applied to the stress , the reaction will move in that direction in which the effect of stress is being lessened.

For example if there is a decrease in the concentration of the reactants, the equilibrium will shift to that direction in which the reactants concentration is being increased in order to maintain the equilibrium.

Thus the correct option is (D) as increasing the concentration of the benzoquinone, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which its concentration is getting decreased, that is in backward reaction, thus decreasing the rate of reaction.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

Define a fluid very sort answer ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium.  A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.
