Answer: option B

Explanation: since nuclear fission involves the decay of larger nuclide into smaller nuclei along with Neutron when it is collide with Neutron.

Answer:

By presuming n denotes neutron, A is an atom and B & C are lighter nuclei, a reaction model of nuclear fission can be represented as follows:

n + A → B + C + n

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is a process where a neuron collide with an atom and split it into two lighter nuclei and at the same time, a neuron and a large amount of energy will be released. The released neuron will then induce another nuclear fission on the next atom and repeat the same reaction process.

The understanding of nuclear fission play an important role in developing nuclear energy technology.

β‑Galactosidase (β‑gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β‑galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.387 g sa

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=icRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.602 mbar = 0.000602 bar

0.000602 bar = 0.000594 atm

(1 atm = 1.01325 bar)

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273.15 +25]=298.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.000594 atm=1\times c\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298.15 K\\\\c=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

The concentration of solute is $2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

Volume of the solution = V =0.137 L

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = n

$C=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L\times 0.137 L$

$n=3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = $3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

Given mass of β‑Galactosidase= 0.387 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol =\frac{0.387 g}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of solute}=116,352.97 g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 95kJ/mol. The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 55kJ/mo

notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,027*10^7

b) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,777*10^5

Explanation:

using the Arrhenius equation

k= ko*e^(-Ea/RT)

where

k= reaction rate

ko= collision factor

Ea= activation energy

R= ideal gas constant= 8.314 J/mol*K

T= absolute temperature

for the uncatalysed reaction

k1= ko*e^(-Ea1/RT)

for the catalysed reaction

k2= ko*e^(-Ea2/RT)

dividing both equations

k2/k1= e^(-(Ea2-Ea1)/RT)

a) at 25°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,027*10^7

therefore at 25°C , k2/k1 = 1,027*10^6

b) at 125°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,777*10^5

therefore at 125°C , k2/k1 = 1,777*10^5

Note:

when the catalysts is incorporated, the catalysed reaction and the uncatalysed one run in parallel and therefore the real reaction rate is

k real = k1 + k2 = k2 (1+k1/k2)

since k2>>k1 → 1+k1/k2 ≈ 1 and thus k real ≈ k2
