Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is 9

Explanation:

The easiest way to balance any combustion equation is to first write the general form.  In a combustion reaction the products are always carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and the reactants are the organic material plus oxygen (O2).

General Form:

C6H12 +  O2 -->   CO2  +  H2O

Now start by balancing the carbon atoms:

six carbons on the left so you need 6 on the right.

C6H12   +   O2   --->    6 CO2  +  H2O

Next balance the hydrogen atoms:

12 on the left, so you need 12 on the right.

C6H12  +   O2 -->   6CO2    +   6H2O

Now count the number of oxygen on the right = 12 + 6= 18

Divide the number on the right by 2 to get the number needed on the left.   18/2 = 9

14. An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km
emmainna [20.7K]

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]}

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

Que enuncia la ley de la conservación de la energia​
Flauer [41]

english:

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.
