Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.

A coffee-cup calorimeter initially contains 125 g water at 24.28C. Potassium bromide (10.5 g), also at 24.28C, is added to the w
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The solution is given below

Explanation:

Heat, q= mc∆T

q= 125g x 4.18 J/g∙°C x (21.18x- 24.28) °C

q=  -1619.75J

NEGATIVE SIGN INDICATES THAT HEAT IS ABSORBED.

Enthalpy Change, ∆H = 1619.75 7/ 10.5 g

                                     = 154.26 J/g

No. of moles of KBr = Mass of KBr/ Molecular Weight of KBr

                                =10.5g/119gmol-1

                                =0.088 mol

∆H= 1619.75 J/ 0.088 mol

      = 18.41 kJ/mol

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 9.63 grams of hcl in 1.5 liters of solution
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Molar mass HCl = 36.5 g/mol

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass:

9.63 / 36.5 => 0.263 moles

Volume = 1.5 L

M = n / V

M = 0.263 / 1.5

M = 0.1753 mol/L

74 g Potassium Chloride converted to moles
kramer

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.99  mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of potassium chloride = 74 g

Number of moles of potassium chloride = ?

Solution:

Formula:

<em>Number of moles = mass/molar mass</em>

Molar mass of KCl = 74.6 g/mol

now we will put the values in formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =  74 g/ 74.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.99  mol
