Answer : The correct options is, (A) The acidity of a solution.

Explanation :

pH meter : It is a type of instrument which measures the activity of hydrogen ion in water based solution.

Or, pH measure the acidity or alkalinity of the solution.

Or we can say that, it will provide the most direct measure of pH by measuring the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.

The pH range is, 1 to 14.

When the value of pH is less then 7 then the solution will be acidic.

When the value of pH is more then 7 then the solution will be basic.

When the value of pH is equal to 7 then the solution will be neutral.

Hence, the correct options is, (A) The acidity of a solution.

Can anyone teach me what is criss cross method in chemistry

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

In the criss-cross method, the numerical value of the ion charge of the two atoms are crossed over, which becomes the subscript of the other ion. Using this technique, we will write the chemical formula of the given compounds.

Criss cross the absolute values to give Al2O3. To find the formula for magnesium oxide:- The oxidation number of Mg is +2 and oxygen is -2. Criss cross the absolute values to give Mg2O2In this example there is a common factor of 2 so divide by 2 to give MgO.

Which of the following is/are true regarding initial and maximal velocity of enzyme-mediated reactions?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

a). A a very low substrate concentration , $$S$ . Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km}$

Here since the $V_0$ varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option (a) is true.

b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km+[S]}$

Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as $V_0$ is directly proportional to [S]. But $V_{max}$ is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.

c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.

d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.

Compose a report about three careers in genomics. In your report, answer the following questions:

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

I don't wanna intrigue but I think this is how you want things to go. But to make it easier all you have to do is look up "what is genomics" and then simply answer each question should take maybe 5-7 minutes. Just trying to help :)

What can you conclude about the mass of iron (III) sulfide produced when 3.0 g of iron filings react completely with 2.5 g of ye

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer : The mass of iron(III)sulfide is, 5.4288 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron, Fe = 3 g

Mass of sulfur, = 2.5 g

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of = 256 g/mole

Molar mass of iron(III)sulfide, = 208 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

First we have to calculate the moles of iron and sulfur.

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

16 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of

0.054 moles of Fe react with moles of

Therefore, the excess reagent in this reaction is, Fe and limiting reagent is,

Now we have to calculate the moles of FeS.

As, 3 moles of gives 8 moles of

So, 0.0098 moles of gives moles of

The moles of = 0.0261 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of .

Mass of = Moles of × Molar mass of

Mass of = 0.0261 g × 208 g/mole = 5.4288 g

Therefore, the mass of iron(III)sulfide is, 5.4288 g

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.

Darya [45]

Explanation:

Lime is an oxide of calcium(CaO). As a metallic oxide, it produces a basic solution when it reacts with water.

The main reason why lime is added to lakes is to reduce acidity in the lake water.

Bottom muds in lakes are usually acidic and makes the water hypertonic. When lime is added, it reduces the pH of the water and causes acidity to reduce.

Lime also helps to reduce the hardness of lake water to a good level.
Lime also helps to release nutrients useful for photosynthesis of plants in the lake.
