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.

if the percent by volume is 2% and the volume of solution is 250 mL what is the volume of solute and solution
Liula [17]

Answer:

Solute = 5 mL; solution = 250 mL  

Explanation:

The formula for percent by volume is

\text{Percent by volume} = \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100 \, \%

If you have 250 mL of a solution that is 2 % v/v,

\begin{array}{rcl}2 \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{250 mL}}\times 100 \, \%\\\\2 \times \text{ 250 mL} & = & \text{Volume of solute} \times 100\\\text{Volume of solute} & = & \dfrac{2 \times 250\text{ mL}}{100}\\\\ & = & \textbf{5 mL}\\\end{array}

If there is no change of volume on mixing,

Volume of solution = 250 mL

 -Volume of solute = <u>     </u><u>5</u><u>      </u>

 Volume of solvent = 245 mL

Find the grams in 1.26 x 10^-4 mole of HC2 H3O2
ivolga24 [154]
Molar mass :

HC₂H₃O₂ = 1 + 12*2 + 1 * 3 + 16 * 2 = 60 g/mol

1 mole <span>HC₂H₃O₂ -------------- 60 g
</span>1.26x10-⁴ mole ----------------- mass

mass =  1.26x10-⁴ * 60

mass = 0.00756 g of <span>HC₂H₃O₂</span>

hope this helps!

A sample of an unknown compound is vaporized at 150.°C . The gas produced has a volume of 960.mL at a pressure of 1.00atm , and
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

34.02 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the gas behaves ideally, we can use the following equation to compute the moles at the specified conditions:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{1.00atm*0.960L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(150+273)K} =0.0277mol\\\\

Now, since the molar mass of a compound is computed by dividing the mass over mass, we obtain the following molar mass:

MM=\frac{0.941g}{0.0277mol} \\\\MM=34.02g/mol

So probably, the gas may be H₂S.

Best regards!

Both the oxygen you need to breathe and ozone are gases made only of oxygen. So why can't you survive by breathing ozone?
marshall27 [118]

Answer/Explanation: Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition.
