The density of human fat is $0.918 g/cm^{3}$ . The mass of the pure fat is 11.1 lbs.

First, convert the mass from pounds to grams as follows:

1 lb=453.592 g

Thus,

$11.1 lb\rightarrow 11.1\times 453.592 g=5034.875 g$

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, meaning volume can be calculated as:

$V=\frac{m}{d}$

By substituting the values,

$V=\frac{5034.875 g}{0.918 g/cm^{3}}=5484.61 cm^{3}$

Consequently, the volume gained by the individual will be $5484.61 cm^{3}$ .

The [H3O+] in a solution is increased to twice the original concentration. Which change could occur in the pH? 2.0 to 4.0 1.7 to

KiRa [971]

Answer: second option: 1.70 to 1.40

Explanation:

1) pH is defined using the formula pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

2) Given that the initial concentration is x and after doubling it becomes 2x, we calculate:

pHi = - logx
pHf = - log 2x = - log 2 - logx

Thus, pHf - pHi = - log2 - logx - (- logx) = - log2 ≈ - 0.30

⇒ pHi - pHf = 0.30, indicating that the final pH (with twice the hydronium ions) is 0.30 lower than the starting pH.

3) The only option that indicates a 0.30 decline in pH is the second one: from 1.70 to 1.40. Therefore, that is the correct choice.

Consider the following system at equilibrium:

VMariaS [1037]

Answer:

A - Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), Triple both (Q) and (R)

B - Increase(P), Increase(q), Decrease (R)

C - Triple (P) and cut (q) down to a third

Explanation:

According to the principle of Le Chatelier, when a system reaches equilibrium and a change is introduced, the system will respond to counteract that change.

Since P and Q are reactants, raising the amount of either one or both without a proportional rise in R (which is a product) will cause the equilibrium to move towards the right. Similarly, if R decreases while P and Q remain constant, this too will push the equilibrium to the right. Thus, Increase(P), Increase(q), and Decrease(R) will lead to a rightward shift in the equilibrium.

Conversely, raising R without increasing P and Q will draw the equilibrium to the left. Likewise, cutting down P and/or Q without a similar reduction in R will shift the equilibrium leftward. Therefore, Increase(R), Decrease(P), Decrease(q), and triple both (Q) and (R) will shift the equilibrium to the left.

If there are equivalent changes in P and Q, with R remaining unchanged, then the equilibrium remains stationary. So, tripling (P) while reducing (q) to one third will not alter the equilibrium.

No amino acid molecule by itself can speed up or catalyze reactions between other molecules; however, when amino acids are joine

Anarel [852]

Answer:

This indicates that the enzyme is a type of protein.

Explanation:

It is important to remember that proteins are composed of vast numbers of amino acids. Because these amino acids are tiny units, they cannot function as a catalyst on their own.

However, when they form a polymer, the protein enzyme will possess varying shapes, sizes, and both physical and chemical attributes differing from a single monomer.

Additionally, for proteins to function actively, a specific number of amino acids must combine to create a distinct shape suited to interact with another molecule, thus accelerating the chemical reaction and functioning as an enzyme.
