A vacuum flask keeps its contents warmer or cooler than the surrounding environment for a length of time. It consists of two flasks, one inside the other, that connect at the neck. The space between the two flasks is completely empty of air. Why does the design of the vacuum flask minimize heat transfer by conduction

Initially, the balloon had 3.0 liters of gas at a pressure of 400 kpa and was at a temperature of 294 k. if the balloon is cooled to 277 k and its volume decreased to 1 l, what will the new pressure in the balloon be?

13. a covalent bond between two atoms is likely to be polar if: a. one of the atoms is much more electronegative than the other. b. the two atoms are equally electronegative. c. the two atoms are of the same element. d. the bond is part of a tetrahedrally shaped molecule. e. one atom is an anion.

Choose an equation that represents an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. (a) enzyme + substrate → enzyme-substrate complex (b) enzyme + substrate ←−→ enzyme + products (c) enzyme + substrate ←−→ enzyme-substrate complex → enzyme + products (d) enzyme + substrate ←−→ enzyme-substrate complex → enzyme-substrate complex + products
