For the following word equation, write it as a chemical equation, then balance it

Chemistry
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4K + O2 ---> 2K2O

Explanation:

The valence of Potassium is +1

The valence of oxygen is -2

Thus, two atoms of potassium will attach with one atom of oxygen to form molecule of potassium oxide.

This can be written as

2K + O ---> K2O

However, this is not the balanced equation as oxygen exists as O2 molecule.

Thus, the balanced equation is

4K + O2 ---> 2K2O

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction
ipn [44]

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
  • The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
  • In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
