Can someone help me with this question?

A biologist working in a lab adds a compound to a solution that contains an enzyme and substrate. This particular compound binds

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding more substrate would overcome the effect of the compound

Explanation:

Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.

lassify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. Ionic Polar covalent Nonpolar covalent

jarptica [38.1K]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Classify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

Na-F

P-Cl

Cl-Cl

Answer:

Na-F : The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

1) Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions). For Example: NaCl, $BaSO_4$ etc.

Ionic compound :This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is very large.

2) Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc.

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc.

Na-F : Two different atoms with high electronegativity difference

Ionic compound because sodium is metal and fluorine is non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is very large.The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl : Two different atoms with low electronegativity difference

Polar covalent compound because phosphorus and fluorine both are non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is not very large.The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl : Two same atoms with nil electronegativity difference.

Non Polar covalent compound because both are chlorine atom (non metal) and the difference between their electronegativity is zero.The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

4. Can 200 ml of fluid be transferred to a 1-quart container? Explain the process that you used to arrive at your answer.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Yes, 200 ml of fluid can be transferred to a 1-quart container.

Explanation:

You must compare the two volumes, 200 ml and 1 quart. If 200 ml is less than or equal to 1 quart, then 200 ml of fluid can be transferred to a 1-quart container, else it is not possible.

To compare, the two volumes must be on the same system of units.

Quarts is a measure of volume equivalent to 1/4 of gallon.

One gallon is approximately 3.785 liters.

3.785 liter = 3.785 liter × 1,000 ml/liter

Then, to convert 1 quart to ml use the unit cancellation method:

(1/4)gallon × 3.785 liter/gallon × 1,000ml / liter = 946.25 ml

Thus, you get that a 1-quart container has volume of 946.25 ml, which allows that 200ml of fluid be transferred to it.

Alchemists were medieval scholars and philosophers who were the forerunners of modern-day chemists. many tried repeatedly to tra

AlladinOne [14]

Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.
