Antarctica, which is mostly ice, is much colder than the arctic, which is a mixture of ice and water. why?

Chemistry

True [87]2 years ago
4 0
Antarctica or the south pole , which is mostly ice, is much colder than the arctic or the north pole, which is a mixture of ice and water. This is because the liquid water in the Arctic Ocean would absorb and release more heat which would keep the temperature in the region to fluctuate frequently. Also, the specific heat of ice is less than the specific heat of water which means that the temperature of ice would easily change. Another reason would be that  the Antarctica have stronger winds so it would absorb heat faster making the average temperature much colder that the Arctic ocean.

Which of the following is true of enzymes? Enzymes may require a nonprotein cofactor or ion for catalysis to take speed up more
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Enzymes may require a nonprotein cofactor or ion for catalysis to take speed up more appreciably than if the enzymes act alone;

Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers.

Explanation:

Some enzymes need a cofactor to act, it is attached to the enzyme and can be nonprotein such as a metal ion. The enzyme function depends on the physical properties of the environmental, especially temperature and pH, each enzyme has a great point of pH and temperature where it has a maximum activity.

If the three-dimensional function of an enzyme is altered, it loses it specified and may not catalyze the reaction, because the structure of the enzyme is responsable for its specified. The catalyst occurs because the enzyme lows the activation energy barriers and this increases the rate of the reaction.

16. What is a pure substance formed when two or more different elementscombine called?A. compoundB. moleculeC. element
Lana71 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Compound. Option A is correct

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
