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 does the kinetic molecular theory explain the fact that gases condense into liquids?
Elenna [48]
<h3><u>Condensation of gases into liquids by kinetic molecular theory:</u></h3>

The "kinetic molecular theory" explains the states of matter based on the matter composed of very tiny little particles that are constantly in motion. The theory also explains the observable properties and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases.

Condensation of particles of a real gas to form liquid is due to the attractive forces present in between them. During the condensation process, gas molecules slows down and come together to form a liquid.  And also during the transfer of energy to something cooler, the process slows down and they attract the bond to become liquid.  Each particle motion is completely independent. The kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent on the temperature of the gas.

Predict whether each of the following is soluble in water or not.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The soluble in water are a and b. c is not soluble in water

Explanation:

The water solubility of a compound, it depends its polarity (. KHSO4 has several polar molecules, actually it has ions charged positively like K and H, and charged negatively like sulfate (SO4-2). When it happens, molecules can do hydrogen bridges with water. It is because of above, KHSO4 can be used in wine making. Something similar happens with propylen glycol but in this case the polar part is OH- ions. Benzene has not polar parts. It is totally apolar compound.

I hope my answer helps you

Some nitrogen is held in a 2.00-L tank at a pressure of 3.00 atm. The tank is connected to a 5.00-L tank that is completely empt
leva [86]

Answer:

0.857 atm

Explanation:

The nitrogen stops owing when it fulfills both of the tanks (the gas molecules intend to fulfill all the space they are). So the tanks will have the same pressure, and the final volume will be the volume of the two tanks.

For Boyle's law:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

Where P1 is the initial pressure (3.00 atm), V1 is the initial volume(2.00 L), P2 is the final pressure, and V2 is the final volume (2.00 + 5.00 = 7.00 L).

3.00*2.00 = P2*7.00

7.00P2 = 6.00

P2 = 0.857 atm
