During digestion, hydrochloric acid (HCl) lowers the stomach's pH and this causes the enzyme pepsinogen to be converted to its active form, called pepsin. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme, which means it cleaves (breaks) peptide bonds assocciated with food particles. The enzyme pepsin can also cleave pepsinogen into pepsin, and this causes the rate at which pepsinogen is converted to pepsin to increase. This is an example of:

The table lists the lattice energies of some compounds. compoundlattice energy (kj/mol)lif            –1,036licl            –853naf            –923kf            –821nacl            –786which statement about crystal lattice energy is  best  supported by the information in the table? the lattice energy increases as cations get smaller, as shown by lif and kf. the lattice energy increases as the cations get larger, as shown by lif and licl. the lattice energy decreases as cations get smaller, as shown by nacl and naf. the lattice energy decreases as the cations get smaller, as shown by naf and kf.
