Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Provided the reaction that leads to the formation of the products can proceed in both forward and backward directions, the correct answer would be yes because the reaction will proceed backward until equilibrium is reached.</em>

<u>For a reaction that can proceed both forward and backward, the addition of a catalyst increases the rate of reaction in both directions based on the fact that a catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction. </u>

Hence, if an enzyme is added to the product of a reaction that has the potential to proceed in both forward and reverse reactions, a substrate would be expected to form because the reaction will proceed backward until an equilibrium is reached.

The correct option is e.

Answer = B = Neutrons and Mass Number

Isotopes are defined as those atoms which have same atomic number but different atomic masses.

Atomic mass is basically the number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom.

So, in isotopes the number of protons are same but the number of neutrons vary due to which atomic masses also vary.
In given three isotopes, all have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
i.e.
H-1 = 1 P + 0 N = 1 u (Proton)
H-2 = 1 P + 1 N = 2 u (Deuterium)
H-3 = 1 P + 2 N = 3 u (Tritium)

Hence, it is clear that the number after H shows a change in number of neutrons and mass number.

Answer:

$V_1=23.3~mL$

Explanation:

In this case, we have a dilution problem. We have to remember that in the dilution procedure we go from a solution with higher concentration to a solution with lesser concentration. Therefore we have to start with the dilution equation:

$C_1*V_1=C_2*V_2$
