How are lead and plastic foam different?

Chemistry
2 answers:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago

Lead refers to a chemical element with atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal, which is denser in comparison to the majority of the common substances. It is malleable and soft and also exhibits a comparatively low melting point. On the other hand, a plastic foam refers to a lightweight cellular form, used mainly as packing material or for insulation.  

Lead is more resistant and heavier, while plastic foam is light and can easily be shattered. They both are completely distinct components with each possessing specific characteristics, and they both exhibit distinct textures. The main reason for their distinct characteristics is the difference in the atoms taking part in their compositions.

First and foremost, they are completely different substances with each exhibiting unique properties. Both have different atoms involved on their structures which is the cause of the differing properties.

A mixture of enzyme and inhibitor is run through a size-exclusion chromatography column. The activity of the enzyme is assessed
Arada [10]

Answer:

e. The inhibitor is a reversible inhibitor.

Explanation:

The reason for which the enzyme has more activity after the chromatography step is that the enzyme was separated from the inhibitor.

The enzyme and the inhibitor could only be separated by size-exclusion chromatography if they had different sizes (which is tipically the case between enzymes and inhibitors) and the inhibitor was a reversible one.

When mixed together, the inhibitor was bonded to the enzyme.

A 25.7 g sample of nitrogen, N2, has a volume of 50.0 L and a pressure of 640. mmHg .What is the temperature of the gas in kelvi
german

Answer:

T = 552.632 K

Explanation:

Mass of nitrogen = 25.7 g

Volume = 50 L

Pressure = 640 mmHg (640/760 = 0.84 atm)

Temperature = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = 25.7 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Temperature:

PV = nRT

T = PV/ nR

T = 0.84 atm × 50 L /0.92 mol ×  0.0821 L. K⁻¹. mol⁻¹. atm

T = 42 atm. L / 0.076  L. K⁻¹.atm

T = 552.632 K

The reaction between ammonia and oxygen is given below:
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

N2O(g) + 3 H2O(l) ---------------> 2 NH3(g) + 2 O2(g)

Explanation:

If we look at the reaction stated in the question, we will notice that the option chosen in the answer is the reverse of that reaction.

One thing is clear, if a reaction is possible, then its reverse reaction is equally possible. The equilibrium position may shift towards the forward or reverse reaction based on the conditions of the reaction.

Hence if the reaction, 2NH3(g) + 2O2(g) → N2O(g) + 3H2O(l) is possible, then the reaction, N2O(g) + 3 H2O(l) ---------------> 2 NH3(g) + 2 O2(g) is also possible.
