Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume.

Density = $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$ (1)

Mass of water = 10 grams

Mass of acetone = 10 grams

Density of water = 1 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

Density of acetone = 0.7857 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

Put the value of density of water and its mass in equation (1)

1 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ = $\frac{10 g}{volume}$

Volume of water = 10 $cm^{3}$

Put the value of density of acetone and its mass in equation (1)

0.7857 $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$ = $\frac{10 g}{volume}$

Volume of acetone = 12.72 $cm^{3}$

Thus, volume of acetone is more than volume of water because the density of acetone is lower.

How do you find the pressure in a container if you don't have the temperature?

BARSIC [14]

It depends on the process.
Like for example if the process is isothermal(temperature is constant), you can use,
PV = constant or P1V1 = P2V2 where P1V1 are initial conditions and P2V2 are final.

For adiabatic process,

PV^gamma = constant or P1V1 ^gamma = P2V2 ^gamma.

where gamma = Cp
------
Cv
Cp = specific heat at constant pressure and Cv = specific at constant volume.

Value of Gamma will be given in question.
Hope this helps!

The Michaelis constant for pancreatic lipase is 5 mM. At 60 C, lipase is subject to deactivation with a half-life of 8 min. Fat

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

According to the given data, we will calculate the following.

Half life of lipase $t_{1/2}$ = 8 min x 60 s/min

= 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction is as follows.

$k_{d} = \frac{0.6932}{480}$

= $1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}
$

Initial fat concentration $S_{o}$ = 45 $mol/m^{3}$

= 45 mmol/L

Rate of hydrolysis $V_m_{o}$ = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration (S) = $S_{o} (1 - X)$

= 45 (1 - 0.80)

= 9 $mol/m^{3}$

or, = 9 mmol/L

It is given that $K_{m}$ = 5mmol/L

Therefore, time taken will be calculated as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

= $-\frac{1}{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}ln[1 - \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{0.07 mmol/L/s
}{K_{M} ln (\frac{45 mmol/L
}{9 mmol/L
}) + (45 mmol/L - 9 mmol/L
)]$

= $1642.83 s \times \frac{1 min}{60 sec}$

= 27.38 min

Therefore, we can conclude that time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present is 27.38 min.

Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?

Georgia [21]

Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
