Answer:

c. 10°C

Explanation:

Given that: A slice of pizza has 500 kcal.

That is to say Q = 500kcal

If the pizza was burned and all the heat were used to warm a 50-L container of cold water,

what  would be the approximate increase in the temperature of the water?

We were also being told to note that; A liter of cold water weighs about 1 kg.

i.e 50-L container weighs about 50kg (mass)

∴ Since;

Q= 500kcal,

m = 50kg; &

the specific heact (c) = 1

we can find the approximate increase in the temperature of the water by using the formula:

Q = mcΔT

ΔT = \frac{Q}{mc}

ΔT = \frac{500}{50*1}

ΔT = 10°C

To help explain surface tension, use a single water molecule in the template, and draw arrows representing the possible location
kramer

Answer:

The correct representation is attached with the explanation.

Explanation:

In this representation of the surface tension, blue arrows between green water molecules are the possible molecules that can be used as the location for forming hydrogen bonds by a single molecule. Surface tension is the tendency of a liquid surface strectch to neighbouring molecules or ability to shrink in minimum surface area possible. Hydrogen bonds is an intermolecular force or interaction responsible for the surface are of liquide molecules. This bonds is towards every direction where the similar molecule present.

Which curve shows the course of the reaction in the presence of an enzyme--the black curve or the red curve? Which line represen
nikklg [1K]
I found the attached image on the internet and it really helps complete this exercise.

First question:
In the presence of an enzyme, the course of the reaction is shown by the red curve. The necessary energy to make a reaction occur is less when there is an enzyme to help the reaction happen. Enzymes work as catalysts that act over substrates converting them into different molecules in a much accelerated way then it would happen without the enzyme's help, if it would happen at all.

Second question:
The activation energy is represented by line B. The activation energy is the energy needed to be available for a reaction to happen. If we compare it with line A, which represents the activation energy necessary for a reaction without an enzyme, we can see how much less energy is necessary to dispend when an enzyme is part of the reaction. Line C represents the energy resultant from the reaction.

When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's term
marta [7]

Answer:

When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's terminal buttons, an <u>action potential</u> occurs.

Explanation:

An action potential, commonly termed as impulse, can be described as messages which are transferred in electrical form. Action potential are caused due to different electric charges. An action potential is generated by  a stimulus which causes transfer of sodium ions into the axons resulting in depolarization of the neuron. To overcome this, potassium ion will enter the cell and an action potential will be generated.

The action potential causes release of the neurotransmitters so that signal messages could be transferred.
