In systemic tissue fluids, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction co2 + h2o → h2co3 (which then can dissociate int

o h+ and hco3–). in fact, co2 released from cells is converted to hco3– ions and travels in that form in the bloodstream. hco3– is reconverted to co2 + h2o in the pulmonary capillaries by the same enzyme, and there the co2 is exhaled. how is it possible for the same enzyme to catalyze reverse reactions?

It is achievable for the same enzyme to catalyze reverse reactions for the reason that the direction of a reversible reaction is determined by the concentrations of reactants and products. In pulmonary circulation, the low CO2 concentration supports the making of CO2 and H2O.

How many moles in 68.1 grams of Cu(OH)2
Andrew [12]

To do this, you would first add together the molar mass of all involved elements, to find how many grams are in a mole of Cu(OH)2. Keep in mind, the molar mass is equal to the atomic mass of an element in grams. For example the molar mass of copper (Cu) would be 63.55 (with 2 sig. figs.)

Therefore, now we add together the mass of all elements involved.

Cu: (63.55)+O2(15.99x2=31.98)+H2(1.01x2=2.02)

63.55+31.98+2.02= 97.55g per mole of Cu(OH)2.

Now, divide what we have by how much it takes to get a mole of the stuff.

68.1/97.55= 0.698mol Cu(OH)2

What particles would you find in a nucleus of an atom
sammy [17]

Answer:

The nucleus is a collection of particles called protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons are in turn made up of particles called quarks. The chemical element of an atom is determined by the number of protons, or the atomic number, Z, of the nucleus.

A 500 gram cube of lead is heated from 25 °C to 75 °C. How much energy was required to heat the lead? The specific heat of lead
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The energy required is 3225 Joules.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of lead cube = 500 grams

T₁ = 25°C

T₂ = 75°C

specific heat of lead = 0.129 J/g°C

Energy required to heat the lead can be found by using the formula,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

Here, ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 75 - 25 = 50

Substituting the values,

Q = (500)(50)(0.129)

Q = 3225 Joules.

Therefore, energy required is 3225 J.
