Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 40.00
Tatiana [17]

A significant figure is every symbol that made the number itself.

In this case, the number 40.00 has four figures but only two of them are significant 40, this is because you haven't got any more decimals than the first zero.

If you have a case with zeros in front, you take to the first non zero digits.

For example, 0.071004 you wold express as 0.071 and those 7, and 1 are the significant ones.

An increase in temperature will effect vapor pressure by:
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: Increases.

Explanation:  As the temperature of a liquid or solid increases its vapor pressure also increases. Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

A vessel contains Ar(g) at a high pressure. Which of the following statements best helps to explain why the measured pressure is
Luda [366]

Answer:

4. The combined volume of the Ar atoms is too large to be negligible compared with the total volume of the container.

Explanation:

Deviations from ideality are due to intermolecular forces and to the nonzero volume of the molecules themselves. At infinite volume, the volume of the molecules themselves is negligible compared with the infinite volume the gas occupies.

However, the volume occupied by the gas molecules must be taken into account. Each <u>molecule does occupy a finite, although small, intrinsic volume.</u>

The non-zero volume of the molecules implies that instead of moving in a given volume V they are limited to doing so in a smaller volume. Thus, the molecules will be closer to each other and repulsive forces will dominate, resulting in greater pressure than the one calculated with the ideal gas law, that means, without considering the volume occupied by the molecules.

Question 17 In the Haber reaction, patented by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1908, dinitrogen gas combines with dihydrogen gas t
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

N₂       + 3H₂     =     2 NH₃

1 vol                         2 vol

786 liters               1572 liters

786 liters of dinitrogen will result in the production of 1572 liters of ammonia

volume of ammonia V₁ = 1572 liters

temperature T₁ = 222 + 273 = 495 K

pressure = .35 atm

We shall find this volume at NTP

volume V₂ = ?

pressure = 1 atm

temperature T₂ = 273

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\frac{.35\times 1572}{495} =\frac{1\times V_2}{ 273 }

V_2 =303.44 liter .

mol weight of ammonia = 17

At NTP mass of 22.4 liter of ammonia will have mass of 17 gm

mass of 303.44 liter of ammonia will be equal to (303.44 x 17) / 22.4 gm

= 230.28 gm

=.23 kg / sec .

Rate of production of ammonia = .23 kg /s .

A mutation in the gene coding for a single-polypeptide enzyme results in the substitution of the amino acid serine, which has a
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The substitution altered the secondary and tertiary structure of the enzyme so that the mutated enzyme folds into a different shape than the normal enzyme does.

Explanation:

In the given condition, the substitution mutation of gene causes a replacement of serine by phenylalanine amino acids which causes a reduction in the activity of the enzyme.  Since serine is polar and has -OH or hydroxy group involves the information of binding of biological catalyst to the substrate.

The primary structure of a protein is significant which finalizes the number of amino acids their sequence. The mutation of protein also affects both secondary and tertiary structures as it disturbs the structure of the protein and affects the catalytic activity as well as the binding affinity of the substrate.

the substitution of serin by phenylalanine does not affect or influence the mass of enzyme.
