Enzymes offer a faster pathway for the reaction to happen, so they lower the activation energy necessary for the reaction to happen. The result is that the reaction will happen faster
Answer 1) In the given reaction of sulfuric acid
On addition of nitrogen monoxide gas the reaction rate increases and more amount of product is formed.
So, it is clear that NO is the catalyst in this reaction.
Answer 2) This can be proven that NO is catalyst because it increases the rate of the reaction, but it is not consumed during the reaction, and it also gets regenerated at the end of reaction.
Hence, nitrogen mono oxide is considered as the catalyst in the given reaction.
Answer 3) It increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. Also it can be clearly seen in this reaction the NO is reacting with oxygen to lower the energy of activation. So, it is providing an alternative pathway for proceeding the reaction. This all confirms the assumptions of NO being the catalyst.
Human teeth are made up of four different types of tissues.
Chlorine has a smaller atomic size.
Explanation: As you move towards right of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases. This is because the number of protons is increasing towards the right of the periodic table, which applies a greater inward force on the electrons. that is why the elements on the right of the periodic table have a smaller atomic size when compared to the elements on the left. Since chlorine is on the right side of aluminium, it has a smaller atomic size.
This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:
pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]
Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid).
Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L
Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M
Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48
