What is the reason behind that the melting and boiling point of iron is more than that of sodium?​

Chemistry

sweet [91]3 years ago

Answer:

As metals are giant lattice structures, the number of electrostatic forces to be broken is extremely large, and so metals have high melting and boiling points. This means that the melting point and boiling point of metals are more similar to those for ionic compounds than for covalent substances.

Assuming that the experiments performed in the absence of inhibitors were conducted by adding 5 μl of a 2 mg/ml enzyme stock sol
prohojiy [21]

Hey there!:

From the given data ;

Reaction  volume = 1 mL , enzyme content = 10 ug ( 5 ug in 2 mg/mL )

Enzyme mol Wt = 45,000 , therefore [E]t is 10 ug/mL , this need to be express as "M" So:

[E]t in molar  = g/L * mol/g

[E]t  = 0.01 g/L * 1 / 45,000

[E]t = 2.22*10⁻⁷

Vmax = 0.758 umole/min/ per mL

= 758 mmole/L/min

=758000 mole/L/min => 758000 M

Therefore :

Kcat = Vmax/ [E]t

Kcat = 758000 / 2.2*10⁻⁷ M

Kcat = 3.41441 *10¹² / min

Kcat = 3.41441*10¹² / 60 per sec

Kcat = 5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹

Hence   kcat of   xyzase is  5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹


Hope that helps!

The half-life of nitrogen-13 is 10.0 minutes. if you begin with 53.3 mg of this isotope, what mass remains after 25.9 minutes ha
zimovet [89]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 53.3 mg

m (final mass after time T) = ? (in mg)

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = 10.0 minutes

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 25.9 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

T = x*P

25.9 = x*10.0

25.9 = 10.0\:x

10.0\:x = 25.9

x = \dfrac{25.9}{10.0}

\boxed{x = 2.59}

Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:

m =  \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}

m =  \dfrac{53.3}{2^{2.59}}

m \approx \dfrac{53.3}{6.021}

\boxed{\boxed{m \approx 8.85\:mg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

The products of photosynthesis are the starting materials of cellular respiration true or false
notsponge [240]

True....

Explanation

Cells use oxygen to release energy during photosynthesis/chlorophyll/cellular respiration. For photosynthesis, the starting materials are water and carbon dioxide, and the products are sugar and oxygen. For cellular respiration, the starting materials are oxygen and sugar, and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

When the coffee is brewed according to directions, a pound of coffee beans yields 50 cups of coffee (4 cups = 1 qt). How many kg
Xelga [282]

1 pound of coffee is said to yield 50 cups of coffee

So we need to find the pounds of coffee beans required to produce 250 cups

so if 50 cups need 1 pound of coffee beans

therefore 250 cups need - 1/50 x 250 = 5 pounds of coffee beans

since we have to find the amount of coffee beans needed in kg, we have to convert pounds to kg

1 pound = 0.45 kg

So if 1 pound is equivalent to 0.45 kg

then 5 pounds are equivalent to - 0.45 kg/pound x 5 pounds = 2.25 kg

therefore 2.25 kg of coffee beans are required
