Licemer1 [7]3 years ago

The optimal temperature for an enzyme is the one at which the enzyme is the most active and productive.

At temperatures below the optimum temperature, the enzyme still catalyzes the reactions, but with decreased activity.

Even though the temperature increase increases the activity of the enzymes, temperatures that are greater than the optimum cause damage the enzyme strucutre, causing denaturation and loss of function

Answer:

The enzyme will denature.

Explanation:

Enzymes are defined as bio catalyst that can increase the rate of a biochemical reaction occurring in the living organisms. Enzymes increases the effective collision between the reactants.

Enzymes works at optimum temperature and pH. The enzyme gets denatured and loses its biological activity if temperature varies too far. The enzyme structure will distort due to high temperature. Most of the enzymes are made up of proteins. High temperature can destroy the folded structure and the shape of the enzyme.

Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass
Shalnov [3]

corrected question:

Determining Density and Using Density to Determine Volume or Mass

(a) Calculate the density of mercury if 1.00 × 10 g occupies a volume of 7.36 cm³

(b) Calculate the volume of 65.0 g of liquid methanol (wood alcohol) if its density is 0.791 g/mL.

(c) What is the mass in grams of a cube of gold (density = 19.32 g/cm) if the length of the cube is 2.00 cm?

(d) Calculate the density of a 374.5-g sample of copper if it has a volume of 41.8 cm³ A student needs 15.0 g of ethanol for an experiment. If the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many milliliters of ethanol are needed? What is the mass, in grams, of 25.0 mL of mercury (density = 13.6 g/mL)?

Answer:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

ρ=m/v ,m=ρv,    v=m/ρ

(a)m=1*10g  , v=7.36cm³

    ρ=10/7.36 =1.36g/cm³

(b) m=65g, ρ=0.791 g/mL.

   v= 65/0.791 =82.17g/mL

(c) ρ=19.32g/cm³, l=2cm, v=l³=8cm³

    m=19..32*8=154.56g/cm³

(d) mass of copper=374.5g , v=41.8cm³

   ρ=374.5/41.8 =8.96g/cm³

 mass of ethanol=15g,  density of ethanol=0.789g/mL

v=15/0.789 =19.01mL

volume of mecury=25mL, density of mercury=13.6g/mL

m=25*13.6=340g
