Answer:

A. It keeps the electrolyte solutions neutral.

Explanation:

The electrons flow from the anode to the cathode and the problem is that the cathode may become too negative. The purpose of the salt bridge is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

Why do solids maintain a specific shape and volume?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

Answer:

Enzyme

Explanation:

An enzyme is an organic catalyst that speeds up a reaction but can be recovered unchanged.

Human lactase consists of 4092 amino acid groups and has a molar mass of about 280 000 u, so it has a complex structure.

Part A Find ΔS∘ for the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia: 12N2(g)+32H2(g)→NH3(g) Express your answ

inessss [21]

Answer:

$\Delta S^{0}$ for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: $\frac{1}{2}N_{2}(g)+\frac{3}{2}H_{2}(g)\rightarrow NH_{3}(g)$

$\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times S^{0}(NH_{3})_{g}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times S^{0}(N_{2})_{g}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times S^{0}(H_{2})_{g}]$

where $S^{0}$ represents standard entropy.

Plug in all the standard entropy values from available literature in the above equation:

$\Delta S^{0}=[1mol\times 192.45\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{1}{2}mol\times 191.61\frac{J}{mol.K}]-[\frac{3}{2}mol\times 130.684\frac{J}{mol.K}]=-99.4J/K$

So, $\Delta S^{0}$ for the given reaction is -99.4 J/K

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?

Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,

alpha α particles ₂He⁴
beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
gamma particles γ
positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

$\tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e$

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
