Which substance is an inorganic compound

1 answer:

8 0

An inorganic compound is a substance that does not contain both carbon andhydrogen. A great many inorganic compounds do contain hydrogenatoms, such as water (H2O) and the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produced by your stomach. In contrast, only a handful of inorganic compounds contain carbon atoms.

A gas has a volume of 1.75L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

At -13 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.

Explanation:

Let's assume the gas behaves ideally.

As amount of gas remains constant in both state therefore in accordance with combined gas law for an ideal gas-

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

where $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are initial and final pressure respectively.

$V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are initial and final volume respectively.

$T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ are initial and final temperature in kelvin scale respectively.

Here $P_{1}=150.0kPa$ , $V_{1}=1.75L$ , $T_{1}=(273-23)K=250K$ , $P_{2}=210.0kPa$ and $V_{2}=1.30L$

Hence $T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}T_{1}}{P_{1}V_{1}}$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=\frac{(210.0kPa)\times (1.30L)\times (250K)}{(150.0kPa)\times (1.75L)}$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=260K$

$\Rightarrow T_{2}=(260-273)^{0}\textrm{C}=-13^{0}\textrm{C}$

So at -13 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.
