The covalent catalytic mechanism of an enzyme depends on a single active site Cys whose pK is 8. A mutation in a nearby residue

alters the microenvironment so that this pK increases to 10. Would the mutation cause the reaction rate to increase or decrease? Explain.

Answer: The reaction rate will INCREASE

Explanation: enzymes are not consumed by the reaction they catalyse, enzyme assay usually follow changes in the concentration of substrate or product to measure the rate of reaction. Now the cys active site contains thiolate ion which will increase on increase of the pk from 8 to 10. Hence increasing the rate of reaction which is catalysed by the active form of the enzyme.

You have a 1.153 g sample of an unknown solid acid, HA, dissolved in enough water to make 20.00 mL of solution. HA reacts with K
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The concentration of the unknown acid (HA) is 0.434M

The molar mass of HA is 13.3g/mole

Explanation:

DETERMINATION OF MOLARITY OF THE UNKNOWN ACID

CaVa/CbVb = Na/Nb

From the equation of reaction and at equivalence point, Na = Nb = 1

Therefore, CaVa = CbVb

Va (volume of acid solution) = 20mL = 20/1000 = 0.2L

Cb (concentration of KOH) = 0.715M

Vb (volume of KOH) = 12.15mL

Ca (concentration of acid) = CbVb/Va

Ca = 0.715M × 12.15mL/20mL = 0.434M

DETERMINATION OF MOLAR MASS OF HA

Number of moles of acid = concentration of acid × volume of acid solution in liters = 0.434 × 0.2 = 0.0868mole

Molar mass of HA = mass/number of moles = 1.153g/0.0868mole = 13.3g/mole

Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/mL. Calculate the mass (in grams) of a piece of aluminum having a volume of 405 mL .
bezimeni [28]
In this question, you are given the density (2.7g/ml) and the volume of the aluminum. You are asked how much the volume is. To answer this question, you need to convert the volume into mass. Since the unit used is already same, you don't need to convert it into another unit. The calculation would be:

mass= volume / density
mass= 405ml / (2.70 g/ml)
mass= 150grams

What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? What orbitals on and overla
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Electron-pair geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal

Hybridization: sp³

sp³ - 4 p

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>For NBr₃, What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? What orbitals on N and Br overlap to form bonds between these elements?</em>

<em>The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the  ___ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with ___ orbitals on Br.</em>

<em />

Nitrogen is a central atom surrounded by 4 electron domains. According to VESPR, the corresponding electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral.

Of these 4 electron domains, 3 represent covalent bonds with Br and 1 lone pair. According to VESPR, the corresponding molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal.

In the nitrogen atom, 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals hybridize to form 4 sp³ orbitals for each of the electron domains.

The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the sp³ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with 4p orbitals on Br.

Why is there a difference in the conductivity of pure solid NaC1 and of the 1.0 M NaC1 soulution
Basile [38]
That would be cause part of the sodium is pure and that means it still kind of has it properties when it was an element and that its i think.
