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.

How many moles of CO2 are produced from the combustion of 5.25 moles of CH3OH?
iVinArrow [24]

First, we write the reaction for CH3OH combustion

CH3OH+3/2O2--->CO2+2H2O

for 1 mole of methanol, we get 1 mole of CO2, therefore for 5,25 moles of methanol we will get 5,25 moles of CO2

Calculate the number of moles of solute present and the number of grams
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The answer is: 18 moles and 1341, 72 grams of KCl

Explanation:

The molarity is defined as the moles of solute ( in this case KCl) in 1 liter of solution:

1L solution-----3 moles of KCl

6L solution-----x= (6L solutionx 3 moles of KCl)/1 L solution= <em>18 moles of KCl</em>

<em></em>

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of KCl:

Weight 1 mol KCl= Weight K + Weight Cl= 39,09 g + 35, 45 g=74, 54 g/mol

1 mol KCl----- 74, 54 g

18 mol KCl----x= (18 mol KCl x 74, 54 g)/1 mol KCl=<em>1341, 72 g</em>

Work is being done in which of these situations? All motions are at a constant velocity (including velocity = zero).
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force that moves an object through a particular distance:

    Workdone = force x displacement

At constant velocity, the force on a body is zero because such a body is not accelerating.  

    Force is a product of mass and acceleration. Acceleration occurs only when velocity changes with time. If no change in velocity, acceleration does not occur. Therefore, no force is being applied.

 From all the situations given, the condition is set at constant velocity. At constant velocity, there is no acceleration. This implies that no work is done.

An aqueous HCL solution has a proton concentration equal to 6.00 mol/L. The HCL concentration in this solution is ————M.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

HCl conc.= 6.0mol/L

Explanation:

From the dissociation of HCl= 1 mole H+ and 1mol Cl-, which is equivalent stoichiometrically in concentration to that of 1 mol HCl,
