In the 1940s, Albert Szent-Györgyi studied the cyclical interaction between actin and myosin. This interaction involves ATP hydrolysis, which allows the myosin filaments to move the actin filaments closer together during a muscle contraction. The turnover rate of myosin is 10 s-¹, resulting in the actin filament moving 100 Å in each power stroke. Calculate the speed in micrometers per second at which one actin filament moves. actin speed: μm/s

Let's say you blew three baloons to the same size and left one baloon at room temperature, and kept one baloon in an ice bath, and one baloon above a hot water container. You left the laboratory for 30 minutes and when you came back, you saw that the size of the baloon in the ice bath was smaller than before and size of the baloon above hot water container was larger than the original size. As chemistry student, how do you explain the reason for this observation.
(b)In magnetron sputtering technique, the pressure of Argon gas is 10* Torr. What is the density of the Argon gas? What is the mean free path of the Argon gas? Argon diameter is 3.83Å. Given Data: Boltzmann constant = 1.38 x 1023 J/K, 1 Torr = 133 Pa, molecular weight of Argon = 39.96 g/mol.

Determine the order of the reaction with respect to NO2 Determine the value of the rate constant (K).
A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is a stainless-steel cylinder that measures 26.0 cm wide and 31.2 cm high. The maximum safe pressure inside the vessel has been measured to be 2.40 MPa. For a certain reaction the vessel may contain up to 0.237 kg of dinitrogen monoxide gas. Calculate the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction. Write your answer in degrees Celsius.

In a biology laboratory, the teacher provided the each student group with two long bones (chicken) without the flesh. Following teacher's guidance, one of the long bone was placed in a beaker containing vinegar (7% acetic acid), a weak acid and let it sit for 3 days at 370 C in an incubator. The other long bone was left in beaker containing distilled water and placed in the same incubator. The students were very curious - on the 4th day, they used gloves and removed the bones from respective jars with utmost care. The teacher asked them to write their observations (what happened) and the explanation (why did it happen) in the lab notebook in view of the structure-function relationship of bone. Assuming we are doing this lab activity. describe the observation in the vinegar treated long bone compared to the control set and explain  what actually happened to justify observation

A propane tank with 8.17 liters is purchased while the temperature was at 14.4 ∘∘C, you decided to use it the following day to bbq due to the nice sunny hot day. The tank was placed in direct sunlight causing an increase in the temperature of the gas to 37.8 ∘∘C. Calculate the new volume of the gas due to the change in temperature. The gas tank's release valve maintains the pressure constant.

Total power generated by wind worldwide doubles every 3 years. In a particular year, the world wind-generating capacity was about 94 thousand megawatts. Find the continuous growth rate and give a formula for wind generating capacity W (in thousand megawatts) as a function of t, the number of years in the future. The continuous growth rate is percent. W = 94e^(.23104t)
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV14 = C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 310 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 87 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 8 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant? cm3 min (Pa stands for Pascal it is equivalent to one Newton/(meter squared); kPa is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals.
