1 half-life - 4.5 days
x half-lives - 27 days
x=(1*27)/4.5=6
6 <span>half-lives have elapsed after 27 days.</span>
Can you post the question
Answer:
27 min
Explanation:
The kinetics of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be determined by the equation of Michaelis-Menten:
![v = \frac{vmax[S]}{Km + [S]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bvmax%5BS%5D%7D%7BKm%20%2B%20%5BS%5D%7D)
Where v is the velocity in the equilibrium, vmax is the maximum velocity of the reaction (which is directed proportionally of the amount of the enzyme), Km is the equilibrium constant and [S] is the concentration of the substrate.
So, initially, the velocity of the formation of the substrate is 12μmol/9min = 1.33 μmol/min
If Km is a thousand times smaller then [S], then
v = vmax[S]/[S]
v = vmax
vmax = 1.33 μmol/min
For the new experiment, with one-third of the enzyme, the maximum velocity must be one third too, so:
vmax = 1.33/3 = 0.443 μmol/min
Km will still be much smaller then [S], so
v = vmax
v = 0.443 μmol/min
For 12 μmol formed:
0.443 = 12/t
t = 12/0.443
t = 27 min

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time.
spanish:
En física y química, la ley de conservación de la energía establece que la energía total de un sistema aislado permanece constante; se dice que se conserva con el tiempo.
Answer:
a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
(from goo gle)
A explanation for something that doesn't seem to be answered completely, usually very implausible.
