I think the answer is supersaturated. This happens when you heat a solution so that more solvent can dissolve into the solution than is normally possible.

Most protein enzymes catalyze only one specific chemical reaction effectively. What feature of protein structure is most directl
babunello [35]

Answer;

d. the specific geometry and types of amino acids in the active site

Explanation;

-Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction. The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site.

-For a substrate to bind to the active site of an enzyme it must fit in the active site and be chemically attracted to it. The shape of an enzyme determines how it works. Enzymes have active sites that substrate molecules (the substances involved in the chemical reaction) fit into when a reaction happens.

Explain the part that the subduction zones play in the cycling of matter between Earth’s crust and mantle.
WARRIOR [948]

Explanation:

The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

<p><strong>Fig 7.15.</strong> Diagram of the motion of plates</p>

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)

Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)

Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (Fig. 7.15)

The rise of the Himalayan Mountain range is due to an ongoing collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. Earthquakes in California are due to transform fault motion.

Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth’s mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. An example of convection current is shown in Fig. 7.16. Inside a beaker, hot water rises at the point where heat is applied. The hot water moves to the surface, then spreads out and cools. Cooler water sinks to the bottom.

<p><strong>Fig. 7.16.</strong> In this diagram of convection currents in a beaker of liquid, the red arrows represent liquid that is heated by the flame and rises to the surface. At the surface, the liquid cools, and sinks back down (blue arrows).</p><br />

Earth’s solid crust acts as a heat insulator for the hot interior of the planet. Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth’s crust.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom
Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains \frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22} atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains \frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23} atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100

\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%

and,

\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100

\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

A gas sample is collected in a 0.279 L container at 22.7 °C and 0.764 atm. If the sample has a mass of 0.320 g, what is the iden
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

HCl

Explanation:

<em>Choices:</em>

<em>CO: 28.01g/mol</em>

<em>NO₂: 46g/mol</em>

<em>CH₄: 16.04g/mol</em>

<em>HCl: 36.4g/mol</em>

<em>CO₂: 44.01g/mol</em>

<em />

It is possible to identify a substance finding its molar mass (That is, the ratio between its mass in grams and its moles). It is possible to find the moles of the gas using general ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure of gas 0.764atm; V its volume, 0.279L; n moles; R gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK and T its absolute temperature, 295.85K (22.7°C + 273.15).</em>

Replacing:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

0.764atm*0.279L / 0.082atmL/molKₓ295.85K = n

<em>8.786x10⁻³ = moles of the gas</em>

<em />

As the mass of the gas is 0.320g; its molar mass is:

0.320g / 8.786x10⁻³moles = 36.4 g/mol

Based in the group of answer choices, the identity of the gas is:

<h3>HCl</h3>
