Answer:

an inducer

Explanation:

An Enzyme is a protein molecule found in cells which work as biological catalysts.

They speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, and can be used over and over again.

In chemistry inducers are molecules that regulates gene expression, and can bind to protein repressors or activators.

Lactose here acts as an inducer because it inactivates the repressor of an operon.

Give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for sf4. give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

5 electron groups, see saw

Explanation:

During the formation of SF4, the sulfur atom usually bonds with each of four fluorine atoms where 8 of valence electrons are used. The four fluorine atoms have 3 lone pairs of electrons in its octet which will further utilize 24 valence electrons. In addition, two electrons are present as a lone pair on the sulfur atom. We can determine sulfur’s hybridization state by counting of the number of regions of electron density on sulphur (the central atom in the molecule). When bonding takes place there is a formation of 4 single bonds to sulfur and it has 1 lone pair. Looking at this, we can say that the number of regions of electron density is 5. The hybridization state is sp3d.

SF4 molecular geometry is seesaw with one pair of valence electrons. The molecule is polar. The equatorial fluorine atoms have 102° bond angles instead of the actual 120° angle. The axial fluorine atom angle is 173° instead of the actual 180° bond angle.

How many liters of oxygen gas can react with 84.0 grams of lithium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the w
ddd [48]
From the equation:
4mol Li react with 1 mol O2
Molar mass Li = 7g/mol
mol in 84g Li = 84/7 = 12 mol Li
From the equation - 12 mol Li will react with 3 mol O2

At STP 1 mol O2 has volume = 22.4L
<span> At STP 3 mol O2 has volume = 3*22.4 = 67.2L O2 gas will react. </span>

Giselle is working with a chemical substance in a laboratory. She observes that when the chemical is heated, it gives off a gas.
Phoenix [80]

The correct answer is option B, that is, hypothesis.  

A hypothesis refers to an anticipated illustration for an occurrence. It refers to a proposed illustration or a supposition made on the groundwork of inadequate proof as an initiation point for further investigation. In order for a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method needs that one can examine it.

One kilogram of water at 100 0C is cooled reversibly to 15 0C. Compute the change in entropy. Specific heat of water is 4190 J/K
mina [271]

Answer:

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy (s_{2} - s_{1}), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:

s_{2} - s_{1} = \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dQ}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \int\limits^{T_{2}}_{T_{1}} {\frac{dT}{T} }

s_{2} - s_{1} = m\cdot c_{w} \cdot \ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} (1)

Where:

m - Mass, in kilograms.

c_{w} - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.

T_{1}, T_{2} - Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.

If we know that m = 1\,kg, c_{w} = 4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}, T_{1} = 373.15\,K and T_{2} = 288.15\,K, then the change in entropy for the entire process is:

s_{2} - s_{1} = (1\,kg) \cdot \left(4190\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K} \right)\cdot \ln \frac{288.15\,K}{373.15\,K}

s_{2} - s_{1} = -1083.112\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot K}

The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.
