Answer:

isotopes

Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Because the number of neutrons can vary for a given element, the mass numbers of different atoms of an element may also vary. For example, some helium atoms have three neutrons instead of two (these are called isotopes and are discussed in detail later on)

Glucose, C6H12O6,C6H12O6, is used as an energy source by the human body. The overall reaction in the body is described by the eq

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Mass of oxygen = 61.824 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 85.01 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of glucose = 58 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = ?

Mass of oxygen = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balanced chemical equation,

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 58 g/180 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.322 mol

Now we compare the moles of oxygen with glucose from balance chemical equation.

C₆H₁₂O₆ : O₂

1 : 6

0.322 : 0.322×6 = 1.932 mol

Mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of oxygen = 1.932 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 61.824 g

Now we compare the moles of carbon dioxide with moles of glucose and oxygen.

C₆H₁₂O₆ : CO₂

1 : 6

0.322 : 0.322×6 = 1.932 mol

O₂ : CO₂

6 : 6

1.932 : 1.932

Mass of carbon dioxide;

mass of carbon dioxide = number of moles × molar mass

mass of carbon dioxide = 1.932 mol × 44 g/mol

mass of carbon dioxide = 85.01 g

Which weather condition can be described as clouds at ground level?

PtichkaEL [24]

A cloud that forms on the ground is called fog. Some clouds you see in the sky might be from airplanes. These are called contrails. High level cirrus clouds may travel at speeds up to 100 mph.

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.
