Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow

a current to travel through the steel wool, thus heating it up. Steel wool is made from iron (Fe).

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

When 40g of ammonium nitrate explode 14g of nitrogen and 8g of oxygen form. How many grams of water form?
blagie [28]

answer and Explanation:

the same amount would have to stay in grams, so if 14 grams of nitrogen is formed, then 8 grams of oxygen, add those two together and you get 22. and that's 22 of the 40 grams used, so 40 su

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [O2]. If the rate of formation of O2is 7
Travka [436]

Answer:

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.

2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2

Rate of formation of oxygen : 7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s

Rate of the reaction(R) =\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}

Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)

7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R

Rate of the reaction(R): 0.2593 M/s

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

Rate of disappearance of the ozone:

R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}

\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.
