lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Temperature

PH

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. Their activities are affected by temperature and pH of the environment among other factors.

  • At extreme temperatures, enzymes can easily be denatured and they will cease to act.
  • At extremes of pH, they can also be adversely affect.

Enzymes generally have temperature and pH window for their activity.

Which of the following is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of Ca(OH)2 and HNO3?
sattari [20]

Explanation:

The reaction between calcium hydroxide and nitric acid is as follows.

  Ca(OH)_{2} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + H_{2}O

Number of reactant atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 3
  • N = 1

Number of product atoms are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • O = 4
  • H = 2
  • N = 3

To balance the given chemical equation, multiply HNO_{3} by 2 on reactant side and multiply H_{2}O by 2 on the product side.

Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

    Ca(OH)_{2} + 2HNO_{3} \rightarrow Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + 2H_{2}O

Chlorine is more reactive than nitrogen why​
OLga [1]

But nitrogen is inert at room temperature whereas chlorine is highly reactive, the reason is: Nitrogen exists as N triple bond N at room temperature while chlorine exists as Cl single bond Cl at room temperature. Since the bond dissociation energy of triple bond is larger than that of single bond.

Sp3-orbitals<br><br> bent<br><br> tetrahedral <br><br> trigonal bipyramidal
AnnZ [28]

The shape of the sp3 orbitals is tetrahedral.

<h3>What are orbitals?</h3>

The term orbital refers to a region in space where there is a high probability of finding the electron. We know that sometimes orbitals could be combined in order to obtain the orbitals that are suited in energy to participate in chemical bonding. This is known as the hybridization of orbitals.

The sp3 orbital is a hybrid orbital The four hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular tetrahedron. Hence the shape of the sp3 orbitals is tetrahedral.
