This question is asking for a method for the determination of the freezing point in a solution that does not have a noticeable transition in the cooling curve, which is basically based on a linear fit method.

The first step, would be to understand that when the transition is well-defined as the one on the attached file, we can just identify the temperature by just reading the value on the graph, at the time the slope has a pronounced change. For instance, on the attached, the transition occurs after about 43 seconds and the freezing point will be about 4 °C.

However, when we cannot identify a pronounced change in the slope, it will be necessary to use a linear fit method (such as minimum squares) to figure out the equation for each segmented line having a significantly different slope and then equal them so that we can numerically solve for the intercept.

As an example, imagine two of the segmented lines have the following equations after applying the linear fit method:

y=-3.5 x + 25\\\\y=-0.52 x + 2

First of all, we equal them to find the x-value, in this case the time at which the freezing point takes place:

-3.5 x + 25=-0.52 x + 2\\\\-3.5 x+0.52 x =2-25\\\\x=\frac{-23}{-2.98}=7.72

Next, we plug it in in any of the trendlines to obtain the freezing point as the y-value:

y=-3.5 (7.72) + 25\\\\y = 1.84

This means the freezing point takes place after 7.72 second of cooling and is about 1.84 °C. Now you can replicate it for any not well-defined cooling curve.

Answer:

there is only 15 points

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics says that the entropy of the universe always increases for a spontaneous process: \Delta \text {S}_{\text{universe}}=\Delta \text {S}_{\text{system}} + \Delta \text {S}_{\text{surroundings}} > 0ΔS

At constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy is defined as \Delta \text G = \Delta \text H - \text{T}\Delta \text SΔG=ΔH−TΔSdelta, start text, G, end text, equals, delta, start text, H, end text, minus, start text, T, end text, delta, start text, S, end text.

When \Delta \text GΔGdelta, start text, G, end text is negative, a process will proceed spontaneously and is referred to as exergonic.

The spontaneity of a process can depend on the temperature.

Spontaneous processes

In chemistry, a spontaneous processes is one that occurs without the addition of external energy. A spontaneous process may take place quickly or slowly, because spontaneity is not related to kinetics or reaction rate. A classic example is the process of carbon in the form of a diamond turning into graphite, which can be written as the following reaction:

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.

The pOH of a solution is 4.2. Which of the following is true about the solution?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

It is basic and has a pH of 9.8.

Explanation:

pOH = 4.2

we will determine its pH.

pOH + pH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.2

pH = 9.8

According to pH scale the the pH lower than 7 is consider acidic while pH of seven is neutral and pH greater than 7 is basic.

The given solution has pH 9.8 it means it is basic.
