Answer:

X represents barium - 141 nucleus.

Written as: (141, 56) Ba

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reaction, due to the fact that the process produces more neutrons, a nuclear chain reaction can possibly occurr. Now, a chain reaction is a one whereby the material that begins the reaction will also be one of the products and it can start another reaction.

Now, for the nuclear chain reaction for the fission of uranium-235, its nucleus absorbs a neutron after which it splits into a krypton - 92 nucleus and a barium - 141 nucleus. Thereafter it releases three more neutrons.

Thus, X is the image represents barium - 141 nucleus.

(141,56) Ba

g Increasing the number of unsaturations in a fatty acid ____________ the melting temperature of the fatty acid.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

Fatty acid which have the double bond or triple bond are called unsaturated fatty acids. Because of the double or triple bond, unsaturated fatty acids are loosely packed and form some distance among molecules which lowers the melting point of unsaturated fatty acids.

So, if the unsaturation of fatty acid will increase, it leads to more branched and loosely packed molecules and decreases the melting temperature accordingly.

What do we do to increase the surface area of solid reactants to high rate of reaction?​
motikmotik
The rate of a chemical reaction can be raised by increasing the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder.

If 2.68 g of benzaldehyde are involved with the mixed aldol condensation reaction, how many moles of benzaldehyde are present? R
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles

Explanation:

The molecular formula of benzaldehyde is C₇H₆O

Its molecular mass is calculated from the atomic masses of the constituent atoms.

C = 12.0 g: H = 1.0 g; O = 16.0 g

Molecular mass = ( 12 * 7) + (1 * 6) + (16 * 1) = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of  substance = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance

mass of benzaldehyde = 2.68; molar mass = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of benzaldehyde = 2.68 g/ 106 g/mol = 0.0253 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles

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.
