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.

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is
Airida [17]

Answer:

the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First we calculate the Volume of the steel cylinder;

V = πr²h

radius r = Diameter / 2 = 27 cm / 2 = 13.5 cm

height h = 32.4 cm

so we substitute

V = π × ( 13.5 cm )² × 32.4 cm

V  = π × 182.25 cm × 32.4 cm

V = 18550.79 cm³  

V = 18.551 L

given that; maximum safe pressure P = 3.10 MPa = 30.5946 atm

vessel contains 0.218kg or 218 gram of carbon monoxide gas

molar mass of carbon monoxide gas is 28.010 g/mol

so

moles of carbon monoxide gas n = 218 gram /  28.010 g/mol = 7.7829 mol

we know that;

PV = nRT

solve for T

T = PV / nR

we know that gas constant R = 0.0820574 L•atm•mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

so we substitute

T = ( 30.5946 × 18.551 ) / ( 7.7829 × 0.082 )

T = 567.5604 / 0.6381978

T = 889.317387 K

T = ( 889.317387 - 273.15 ) °C

T = 616.167 ≈ 616 °C  { 3 significant digits }

Therefore, the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction is 616 °C

A 508-g sample of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) contains how many moles of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?
Blizzard [7]

molar mass = (22.99) + (1.01) + (12.01) + 3(16.00)

molar mass = 84.01 g/mol

//

(508g)(1 mol/84.01 g) = 6.0

There are 6.0 moles of sodium bicarbonate

Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy.
GREYUIT [131]

Give 3 Examples of where potential energy was converted to knlinetic energy:

Curtain

A ball before moving

An apple from the tree then falling down

When the Curtains are still, we call the that potential energy. If you move the curtains around, that is kinetic energy

The ball is still, that is potential energy. Then the ball is moving, the is kinetic energy

There is a apple ganging from a tree, that is potential energy. That apple is fall, this is kinetic energy

Hope this helps

Don't type or write in the answer, I'm not sure what from the lab means. These are a few potential into kinetic energy I could have think of!

Explain what the kinetic theory of matter states. Which state of matter has the LEAST kinetic energy and which state of matter h
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: Solid

Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed. There are spaces between particles of matter.
