The substrate concentration of the enzyme operating at one‑quarter of its maximum rate is = 0.333.

Relationship between Km and substrate concentration is -

Km is the concentration of substrate.It allows the enzyme to achieve half Vmax. High Km enzyme requires a higher concentration of substrate to get Vmax. Since, Km is a constant. If the substrate concentration is increased, it has no effect on it.

An enzyme with a high Km has a low affinity for its substrate. The substrate concentration Km corresponds to the substrate concentration.

The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is half of the maximum reaction rate Vmax.

The equation is:

                <em>V₀ = </em><u><em>Vmax [S] </em></u>

<em>                          [S] + Km</em>

Here,

V₀ is initial rate,

Km is the dissociation constant between the substrate and the enzyme,

Vmax is the maximum rate, and

S is the concentration of substrate.

taking fraction of V₀ and Vmax :

<u><em>    V₀    </em></u><em> = </em><u><em>     [S</em></u><em>]</em><u><em>     </em></u><em>  </em>

<em>Vmax      [S] + Km</em>

<u><em>   </em></u><u>V₀   </u> =   <u>   0.5Km   </u>  = 0.333

Vmax       1.50 + Km

Therefore, the substrate concentration of this enzyme operating at one‑quarter of its maximum rate is = 0.333.

The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

                                     =  (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen =  (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

                                         = (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

                                     = 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

    C :H :O               4.51/ 2.302    :   9 / 2.302   :  2.302 /2.302

    C :H :O                2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

   Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

   n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

   empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008  + 1 × 16

    empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

                 n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

        Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

        Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

         Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂

You are given an unknown type of clothing dye. how could you use the procedures in this lab to see if this dye is a mixture?
Arte-miy333 [17]
One separation technique to be used is the paper chromatography. This works by separating the components of the mixture through the difference of their concentrations. There is a stationary phase and the mobile phase, which flows through the stationary phase. The components travel at different rates and is usually signified by the colors. If more than one color would appear, that means that the dye is a mixture.
