Saliva, produced by glands in the mouth, plays an important role in the digestion of food. Saliva contains a chemical, called am

ylase, that breaks down starch in the food we eat. A scientist conducts an experiment to investigate at which temperatures amylase works the best. He hypothesizes that the reaction will occur fastest if the amylase reaction is conducted near the normal human body temperature of 37ºC (degrees Celsius). In order to test his hypothesis, the scientist measures the reaction rate, which is how fast the amylase breaks down the starch at six different temperatures. The reaction rate is rated on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no reaction and 10 meaning the fastest reaction. The results are recorded in the data table.

Answer:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

Given that a for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C. What is the value of b for BrO− at 25°C?
lara [203]

If Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3>

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 2.8× 10^(-9)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{2.8×10^(-9) }

= 3.5× 10^(-6)

Thus, we find that if Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

DISCLAIMER: The above question have mistake. The correct question is given as

Define Saturated Solution. What happens as a saturates solution cools?
solong [7]

Saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. When saturated solution cools, the solution began precipitate from the solution, because under lower temperature, usually, less amount solute can be dissolved in the solvent.
