Each enzyme functions in a different area of the body, but both work to harness the power in carbohydrates and break these compl

ex molecules into simple sugars. Based on the information you have learned about the digestive system, what do you expect to be the optimal pH for the enzymatic action of pancreatic amylase?

The optimal pH is 6.9. The pancreatic amylase is a hydrolase secreted by the pancreas and will go into the alimentary canal. The working environment has a pH of 6.9. So the optimal pH for the enzyme needs to be 6.9.

Explanation:

The optimum pH scale for the catalyst activity of secretion enzyme ranges from half-dozen to seven. higher than and below this vary, the reaction rate reduces as enzymes get denaturated. The accelerator secretion enzyme is most active at pH scale 6.8.

A reaction has activation energy of 85kjper mol. What is the effect on the rate of raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 d
DENIUS [597]

Answer: The rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]

where k_2 = rate constant at temp T_2

k_1 = rate constant at temp T_1

E_a= activation energy

R= gas constant

T_1= temperature = 20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

T_2= temperature = 30^0C=(30+273)K=303K

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-85\times 1000J/mol}{8.314J/Kmol}[\frac{1}{303} - \frac{1}{293}]

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=1.15

\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=3

Thus rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​

How does a sample of hydrogen at 10 °C compare to a sample of hydrogen at 350 K?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: -

The hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

Explanation: -

Temperature of the hydrogen gas first sample = 10 °C.

Temperature in kelvin scale of the first sample = 10 + 273 = 283 K

For the second sample, the temperature is 350 K.

Thus we see the second sample of the hydrogen gas more temperature than the first sample.

We know from the kinetic theory of gases that

The kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with the increase in temperature of the gas. The speed of the movement of gas molecules also increase with the increase in kinetic energy.

So higher the temperature of a gas, more is the kinetic energy and more is the movement speed of the gas molecules.

Thus the hydrogen at 10 °C has slower-moving molecules than the sample at 350 K.

How many grams of carbon are present in 45.0 g of CCl4?
lisabon 2012 [21]
To determine the amount of a certain element in a compound, we use the ratio of the elements from the compound. We calculate is follows:

45.0 g CCl4 ( 1 mol CCl4 / 153.82 g CCl4 ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CCl4 ) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C ) = 3.5135 g carbon present

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

           2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol:    2       5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:  

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}

From O₂:  

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}
