An Irish natural philosopher, Robert Boyle, conducted experiments to verify properties of gases discovered by other scientists.

Boyle's law mathematically describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas. This means that if the volume of a container of gas is decreased, the amount of pressure in that container will increase proportionally. This relationship is a (2 points)
Select one:
a. theory because it is a description based on mathematics.
b. theory because it describes a relationship without trying to explain it.
c. law because it describes how one variable affects another.
d. law because it is a description but not an explanation.

Answer:

c. Law, because it describes how one variable affects another  

Explanation:

A law enables you to predict what might happen if you do something. For example, you can use Boyle's Law to predict the volume of a gas if you double its pressure.

a and b are wrong, because a theory tries to explain why something happens.

d is wrong, because a law does not have to give an explanation.

If you start with 89.3 g no(g) and 28.6 g h2(g), find the theoretical yield of ammonia.
Tatiana [17]
Balanced equation: 
<span>2 NO + 5 H2 ------> 2 NH3 + 2 H2O
 </span>
<span>2 moles NO react with 5 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3
 </span>
<span>Molar mass of NO = 30.00 g/mol </span>
<span>86.3g NO = 86.3/30.00 = 2.877 moles of NO </span>

<span>This will require: 2.877*5 / 2 = 7.192 moles of H2 </span>

<span>Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol </span>
<span>25.6g H2 = 25.6/2 = 12.7 mol H2. </span>
<span>You have excess H2 means the NO is limiting </span>

<span>From the balanced equation: </span>
<span>2 moles of NO will produce 2 moles of NH3 </span>
<span>2.877 moles of NO will produce 2.877 moles of NH3 </span>

<span>Molar mass NH3 = 17g/mol </span>
<span>Mass NH3 produced = 2.877 * 17 = 48.91g 

Hence the yield is = 48.91 g ~ 49 g</span>

What is the stoichiometric ratio between BaCl2 and NaCl
bixtya [17]
<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent? "First convert grams into moles" 1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 (7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2 "From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl" The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>

A deficiency in thiamine (TPP) will directly decrease the activity of which of the following enzymes? a. Pyruvate carboxylase b.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

d. Transketolase

Explanation:

Transketolase utilize thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) as cofactor has reduced activity during the thiamine deficiency and results in the tissue damage. <u>The levels of steady-state mRNA of transketolase in human lymphoblasts, fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells are found to be lower in the thiamine-deficient cultures.  </u>

Thus, deficiency in TPP directly decrease the activity of enzyme, transketolase.
