Answer:

The rain shadow effect

Explanation:

A rain shadow is an area of land that was forced to become a desert because a mountain or mountain range blocked all the necessary weather for plants to grow... after the air crosses over the mountains peak and begins going down the other side, the air warms up which means there's less rainfall.

A biologist working in a lab adds a compound to a solution that contains an enzyme and substrate. This particular compound binds

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding more substrate would overcome the effect of the compound

Explanation:

Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.

A student mixes 33.0 mL of 2.70 M Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) with 20.0 mL of 0.00157 M NaI ( aq ) . How many moles of PbI 2 ( s ) prec

GalinKa [24]

Answer: The moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

For lead (II) nitrate:

Molarity of lead (II) nitrate solution = 2.70 M

Volume of solution = 33.0 mL = 0.033 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.70M=\frac{\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}}{0.033L}\\\\\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}=(2.70mol/L\times 0.0330L)=0.0891mol$

For NaI:

Molarity of NaI solution = 0.00157 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.00157M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.00157mol/L\times 0.0200L)=3.14\times 10^{-5}mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI reacts with 1 mole of lead (II) nitrate

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}mol$ of lead (II) nitrate

As, given amount of lead (II) nitrate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, NaI is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI produces 1 mole of lead (II) iodide

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}moles$ of lead (II) iodide

Hence, the moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles
