Answer:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

Methane is an hydrocarbon. Whenever hydrocarbon undergoes a reactio with oxygen, the products formed are carbon(iv) oxide and water.

The equation of the reaction is given as;

CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

Upon balancing the equation, we have;

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following: The destruction of a marble statuary by acid rain: aqueous nitric acid r
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The coefficient in front of nitric acid is 2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaCO_3(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Which of the following is/are true regarding initial and maximal velocity of enzyme-mediated reactions?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. True

Explanation:

a). A a very low substrate concentration , $S. Thus according to the Machaelis-Menten equation becomes

$V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km}$

Here since the $V_0$ varies directly to the substrate concentration [S], the initial velocity is lower than the maximal velocity. Thus option  (a) is true.

b). The Michaelis -Menten kinetics equation states that :

   $V_0 = \frac{V_{max} \times [S]}{Km+[S]}$

  Here the initial velocity changes directly with the substrate concentration as $V_0$ is directly proportional to [S]. But $V_{max}$ is same for any particular concentration of the enzymes. Thus, option (b) is true.

c). As the substrate concentration increases, the initial velocity also increases. Thus option (c) is false.

d). Option (d) explains the procedures to estimate the initial velocity which is correct. Thus, option (d) is true.

Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0L. What temperature must be maintained
Morgarella [4.7K]
Given:

P = 123 kPa
V = 10.0 L
n = 0.500 moles
T = ?

Assume that the gas ideally, thus, we can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

123 kPa * 1 atm/101.325 kPa * 10.0 L = 0.500 moles * 0.0821 Latm/molK * T

solve for T 

T = 295.72 K<span />
