Most heterogeneous catalysts of importance are extremely finely divided solid materials. Why is the particle size important?

1 answer:

7 0

The particle size is important because the more finely divided the solid is , the faster the reaction happen. A powdered solid will normally produce a faster reaction because it has greater surface area than the single lump

The enzyme acetylcholinesterase causes acetylcholine to

tatiyna

Answer:

A) decompose.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that acts at the neuromuscular junction and activates the muscles.
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is hydrolyzed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase into choline and acetate.
Due to the activity of acetylcholinesterase, the acetylcholine does not remain for long in the synapses and thus, the synaptic transmission is terminated by the enzyme.

Which is evidence that supports dynamo theory

tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Earth's outer core contains liquids that conduct electricity.

Explanation:

The dynamo theory is a theory which describes why the Earth and other stars have a magnetic field. The dynamo theory proposes that an electrically conducting fluid, a conventional fluid or a rotating fluid can generate a magnetic field. Hence, these fluids are responsible for Earth's magnetic field.

The Outer core of the Earth exhibits dynamo. This is because Earth contains fluids inside its core which are rotating and driving convectional currents.

As carbon dioxide concentration soar over 400 ppm, what do you expect to see as far as how the earth is responding?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - increase in green house effect, increase in temperature and rise in sea level are some major response.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide concentration soar over 400 ppm which means there are 400 particles of carbon dioxide in a million particles of air. It is on the highest level of all time from the beginning. Carbon dioxide is a green house gas which means it is able to absorb heat and trap it in air which leads to increase in temperature of the earth.

Increase in earth temperature will lead to melting of ice lands which result in rise of sea level and cities will drown in sea. Other effect will be pollution in atmosphere and warmer climate and change in pattern of climate. There are many other direct and indirect response in accumulation of carbon dioxide concentration.
