Answer:

DNA is twisted because that is the way the bonds cause it to form. Some things are just the way they are because of the way they are made.

Answer:

If DNA were a straight ladder the bases would thus be too far apart to form a stable stack.

DNA is twisted because that is the way the bonds cause it to form. Some things are just the way they are because of the way they are made.

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol. Part A If an enzyme increases the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme

Explanation:

From the given information:

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol.

In this  same concentration for the glucose and fructose; the reaction rate can be calculated by the rate factor which can be illustrated from the Arrhenius equation;

Rate factor in the absence of catalyst:

k_1= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT}}

Rate factor in the presence of catalyst:

k_2= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT}}

Assuming the catalyzed reaction and the uncatalyzed reaction are  taking place at the same temperature :

Then;

the ratio of the rate factors can be expressed as:

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT} }} { e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT} }}

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{[  Ea_1 - Ea_2 ] }}{RT} }}

Thus;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = RT In \dfrac{k_2}{k_1}

Let say the assumed temperature = 25° C

= (25+ 273)K

= 298 K

Then ;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 8.314 \  J/mol/K * 298 \ K *  In (10^6)

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34228.92 \ J/mol

\mathbf{Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34.23 \ kJ/mol}

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme

A metal sample has a mass of 64.2 g. What is the density of this metal?
brilliants [131]

density= mass/volume

we need the volume of the metal to find the density,  in which case the answer would be 64.2/volume=density

The fuel used to power the booster rockets on
Effectus [21]

Answer:

746 moles of H2O are been produced from 373 moles of Al.

Explanation:

For every 3 moles of aluminum, you get 6 moles of H2O (double). Therefore, every 373 moles of Al, you will get double as well, that is 746 m.

Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2
qaws [65]

Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).

The equilibrium of 2H 2 O(g) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) at 2,000 K has a Keq value of 5.31 x 10-10. What is the Keq expression for this
nevsk [136]

Answer:

5.31*10^{-10} = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}

Explanation:

For a chemical reaction, equilibrium is a state at which the rate of the forward reaction equals that of the reverse reaction. The equilibrium constant Keq is a parameter characteristic of this state which is expressed as a ratio of the concentration of the products to that of the reactants.

For a hypothetical reaction:

xA + yB ⇄ zC

The equilibrium constant is :

Keq = \frac{[A]^{x}[B]^{y}}{[C]^{z} }

The given reaction involves the decomposition of H2O into H2 and O2

2H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons 2H_{2} + O_{2}

The equilibrium constant is expressed as :

Keq = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}

Since Keq = 5.31*10^-10

5.31*10^{-10} = \frac{[]H_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}{[H_{2}O]^{2}}
