What geological forces might be responsible for this range of mountains?

1 answer:

6 0

Mountains are built by tectonic processes that cause portions of the Earth's crust to rise. These processes are fueled by the escape of heat from the interior of the Earth, causing crustal uplift by volcanic activity and by movement along faults that, in turn, is responsible for the formation of mountains.

Describe 2 ways of salting out proteins

liubo4ka [24]

The phenomenon known as "salting-out" occurs at very high ionic strengths, when protein solubility declines as ionic strength rises. As a result, salting out may be used to segregate proteins according to how soluble they are in salt solutions.

Because large levels of sodium chloride disturb the bonds and structure of the active site, the rate of enzyme activity will gradually decrease as the concentration of sodium chloride rises. As a result, some of the active sites get denaturized and the starch loses its ability to attach to them. As more enzymes get denatured and eventually cease to function, enzyme activity will steadily wane.

What would be the pH of an H2SO4 solution if the [H+] = 4.58 x 10-5 moles/liter?

Ghella [55]

Answer: pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution is 4.34

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}$

Putting in the values:

$pH=-\log[4.58\times 10^{-5}]$

$pH=4.34$

Thus pH of an $H_2SO_4$ solution if the $[H^+]$ is $4.58\times 10^{-5}]$ is 4.34

Question 6 (1 point)

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

d 4400

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ice = 55 g

The Heat of Fusion = 80 cal/g

The Heat of Vaporization = 540 cal/g

The specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The Heat of Fusion × The mass of the ice

The heat required to melt the 55 g mass of ice = 540 cal/g × 55 g = 29700 cal

The heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass ice (water) = The mass of the ice (water) × The specific heat capacity of the ice (water) × The temperature change

The heat required to raise the temperature of the ice from 0°C to 100°C = 55 × 1 × (100 - 0) = 5,500 cal

The heat required to vaporize a given mass of ice = The Heat of Vaporization × The mass of the ice

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal

The total heat required to boil 55 g of ice = 29700 cal + 5,500 cal + 4,400 cal = 39,600 cal

However, we note that the heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 80 cal/g × 55 g = 4,400 cal.

The heat required to vaporize the 55 g mass of ice at 100°C = 4,400 cal
