Answer:
The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
- Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
- The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
- Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
- In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
This problem could be solved through the Graham’s law of
effusion (also known as law of diffusion). This law states that the ratio of
the effusion rate of the first gas and effusion rate of the second gas is
equivalent to the square root of the ratio of its molar mass. Thus the answer
would be 0.1098.
The reaction equation is:
Li + Br → LiBr
39 grams of Li = 39 / 7 = 5.57 moles of lithium
41.5 grams of Br = 41.5 / 80 = 0.52 mole of bromine
Answer: (2)react completely in the reaction
limiting reactant determines the number of moles in a chemical reaction
excess reactant is the reactant with an excess number of moles
