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.

Identify the main purpose of the Periodic Table. *
saw5 [17]

The periodic table is one of the most important tools in the history of chemistry. It describes the atomic properties of every known chemical element in a concise format, including the atomic number, atomic mass and relationships between the elements. Elements with similar chemical properties are arranged in columns in the periodic table.

The table thus is a quick reference as to what elements may behave the same chemically or which may have similar weights or atomic structures.

Hope this answer helps you

how many moles of iron will be produced from 6.20 moles of carbon monoxide reacting with excess iron (III) oxide (FeO3) to produ
Gelneren [198K]

0.20 moles of iron will be formed in the reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide to form Fe is to be known first.

the balanced reaction is :

Fe2O3 + 3CO⇒ 2 Fe + 3 CO2

so from the data given the number of moles of carbon monoxide can be known:

3 moles of CO reacted with Fe2O3 to form 2 moles of iron in the reaction.

Number of moles of CO is 6.20 moles

11.6 gm of iron is formed

so the number of moles of iron formed is calculated as

n = mass of iron ÷ atomic weight of iron

  = 11.6 ÷ 55.84

  = 0.20 moles of iron will be formed when 11.6 gram of iron is produced.

One litre of hydrogen at STP weight 0.09gm of 2 litre of gas at STP weight 2.880gm. Calculate the vapour density and molecular w
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

we know, at STP ( standard temperature and pressure).

we know, volume of 1 mole of gas = 22.4L

weight of 1 Litre of hydrogen gas = 0.09g

so, weight of 22.4 litres of hydrogen gas = 22.4 × 0.09 = 2.016g ≈ 2g = molecular weight of hydrogen gas.

similarly,

weight of 2L of a gas = 2.88gm

so, weight of 22.4 L of the gas = 2.88 × 22.4/2 = 2.88 × 11.2 = 32.256g

hence, molecular weight of the gas = 32.256g

vapor density = molecular weight/2

= 32.256/2 = 16.128g

hence, vapor density of the gas is 16.128g.

The molar heat capacity of ethane is represented in the temperature range 298 K to 400 K by the empirical expression Cp,m in J K
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

-88.66 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The expressions of heat capacity (Cp,m) for C(s) and for H₂(g) are:

C(s):  Cp,m/(J K-1 mol-1) = 16.86 + (4.77T/10³) - (8.54x10⁵/T²)

H₂(g): Cp,m/(J K-1 mol-1) = 27.28 + (3.26T/10³) + (0.50x10⁵/T²)

Cp = A + BT + CT⁻²

For the Kirchoff's Law:

ΔHf = ΔH°f + \int\limits^{T2}_{T1} {DCp(T)} \, dT

Where ΔH°f is the enthalpy at 298 K, T1 is 298 K, T2 is the temperature given (373 K), and DCp is the variation of Cp (products less reactants). ΔH°f  for ethene is -84.68 kJ/mol and the reaction is:

2C(s) + 3H₂(g) → C₂H₆

So, DCp:

dA = A(C₂H₆) - [2xA(C) + 3xA(H₂)] = 14.73 - [2x16.86 + 3x27.28] = -100.83

dB = B(C₂H₆) - [2xB(C) + 3xB(H₂)] = 0.1272 - [2x4.77x10⁻³ + 3x3.26x10⁻³] = 0.10788

dC = C(C₂H₆) - [2xC(C) + 3xC(H₂)] = 0 - (2x(-8.54x10⁵) + 3x0.50x10⁵) = 15.58x10⁵

dCp = -100.83 + 0.10788T + 15.58x10⁵T⁻²

\int\limits^{373}_{298} {-100.83 + 0.10788T + 15.58x10^5T^{-2}} \, dT = -3796.48 J/mol = -3.80 kJ/mol (solved by a graphic calculator)

ΔHf = -84.68 - 3.80

ΔHf = -88.66 kJ/mol
