Why don't detergents work well at higher temperatures?
Because enzymes denature/change shape at high temperatures and detergents contain enzymes.
How does salt soap and ethanol extract DNA?
DNA precipitates in the presence of high salt concentrations (like NaCl) and either ethanol or ispropanol.
Why are high temperatures not suitable for anaerobic fermentation?
Temperatures in excess of 40oC will denature the enzymes (proteins) in the yeast, which makes them inactive.
Which biome has little rainfall and high daytime temperatures?
Deserts get little rainfall and some of them are quite hot - but not all. There are cold deserts also.
Does temperature affect rigor mortis?
Temperature does effect rigor mortis. Low temperatures slow rigor mortis and it is accelerated by high temperatures.
Why is water a better fluid for use in a hot pack than ethyl alcohol?
Water has a higher boiling point than ethanol, and so will evaporate more slowly at high temperatures than ethanol. Also, I think water has a higher heat capacity, which means it will stay hot longer.
Does gasoline with ethanol gum up a carburetor?
Pure ethanol will not gum up a carburetor. However in high concentrations it will disolve or corrode anything in the fuel system that is not chemically compatible, especially at higher temperatures. Disolved contaminates will go right through a fuel filter and can gum up a carburetor as the ethanol vaporizes and they come out of solution.
Why ethanol has high boiling point than diethyl-ether?
Ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding where as diethylether does not have this kind of bonding. So BP of ethanol is higher than diethylether.
Do molecule move faster at high or low temperatures?
molecules (or atoms) move faster at higher temperatures. higher temperature is a measure of higher kinetic energy.
Why don't detergents work well at higher temperatures?
Because enzymes denature/change shape at high temperatures and detergents contain enzymes.
Why will high temperatures speed up chemical reactions?
the higher the temperature the more the energy
Why Beer's law is obeyed at low concentration and not at high concentration?
Because in high concentrations you will have scattering, multi event absorbance, and self-absorbance which are mostly non-linear effects and are not described by the Beer's law.
How is temperature and pressure realated?
High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.
What is energy from high temperatures?
High temperature speeds up movement in the molecules. This means with higher temperature, there is more energy
What can mix to gasoline to make octain high and give more power to engine?
You can add ethanol to gasoline to make the octane higher.
Why do chemical industries use high temperatures?
Chemical industries use high temperatures for several reasons. Firstly, high temperatures can increase the rate of chemical reactions, allowing them to be more efficient. Additionally, some chemical reactions require high temperatures to occur at all. High temperatures can also help to achieve specific physical and chemical properties of materials, such as melting or evaporating substances. Finally, high temperatures can help to remove impurities or increase the purity of a product.
What can turn in to a gas then to a liquid?
ANY SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO MANKIND. Iron can be a liquid at high temperatures, and can evaporate/turn-into-a-gas at even higher temperatures. water
