When hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to potassium iodide (KI) solution, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water (H2O) and

oxygen (O2). The chemical equation for this decomposition reaction is:
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2


In this reaction, the potassium iodide is needed for the reaction to happen, but it isn’t changed in the reaction and can be used again. What is the role of potassium iodide in this reaction?

A. Reactant

B. Product

C. Precipitate

D. Catalyst

No amino acid molecule by itself can speed up or catalyze reactions between other molecules; however, when amino acids are joine
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

That the enzyme is a protein

Explanation:

Remember the proteins are groups of thousands of amino acids, by their owns, since they are very small units, they can not act as a catalyst.

But as a polymer, the protein enzyme, have different shape, size and physical and chemical properties than a single monomer.

Remember also the proteins to be active, they need certain number of amino acids join together to form a specific shape that is going to match with another molecule to speed the chemical reaction and act as an enzyme.

How many moles are in 7.00E24 atoms of Ca?
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

In chemistry, a mole is the base unit of the amount of substance in a system containing elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, electrons), and one mole of substance corresponds to the Avogadro's constant or 6.023 \ \times \ 10^{23}  entities. The stoichiometry equation that relates the amount of substance into the measurement in moles is

                                                           n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\alpha}{N_{A}},

where n is the number of moles, \alpha is the amount of substance and N_{A} is the Avogadro's constant.

Therefore,

                                           n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{7.00 \ \times \ 10^{24} \ \text{atoms}}{6.023 \ \times \ 10^{23} \ \text{atoms mol}^{-1}} \\ \\ n \ = \ 11.624 \ \text{mol}.
