How does ph affect enzyme-catalyzed reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
4 0
Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis. In geneal enzyme have a pHoptimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme

If 16.9 kg of Al2O3(s), 57.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 57.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produc
hodyreva [135]

Answer: 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of Al_2O_3 = \frac{16.9\times 1000g}{102g/mol}=165.7moles

moles of NaOH = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{40g/mol}=1435moles

moles of HF = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{20g/mol}=2870moles

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 6 moles of NaOH

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{6}{1}\times 166=996 moles of NaOH

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 12 moles of HF

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{12}{1}\times 166=1992 moles of HF

Thus Al_2O_3 is the limiting reagent.

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 produces = 2 moles of cryolite

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{2}{1}\times 166=332 moles of cryolite

Mass of cryolite (Na_3AlF_6) = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=332mol\times 210g/mol=69720g=69.72kg

Thus 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

Which equation best represents the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions?
Nikitich [7]

Answer is: H₂O → H⁺ + OH⁻.

Water dissociates (autoionization) to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions. The protons (H⁺) hydrate as hydroxonium ions( H₃O⁺).

The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M². Concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in pure water are the same.

What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.

7. The nuclear model and the solar system model both show atoms with electrons circling around
Keith_Richards [23]

These models are similar because "both the nuclear model and the solar system model have concept of nucleus, electron, positively charged nucleus at center and electrons orbiting around the nucleus".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The points which showcase similarities among both the atomic structure and the composition of the solar system are like the large percentage of the mass centered in the core which is the nucleus or the sun. Attractive forces bring the structure together by application of electromagnetic force or gravitational force.

The existence of the external objects influences the stable state of other surrounding objects as suggested by Pauli theory of exclusion and gravitational disturbance. Overall on the basis of the view only, in both the model their is similarity like atomic model speaks about electrons orbiting the nucleus similar to planets orbiting the sun.

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

–0.13 Pa.m²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Measurement (Pa.mm²) = –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm²

Measurement (Pa.m²) =?

We can convert from Pa.mm² to Pa.m² by doing the following:

1 Pa.mm² = 1×10¯⁶ Pa.m²

Therefore,

–1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² = –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² × 1×10¯⁶ Pa.m² / 1 Pa.mm²

–1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² = –0.13 Pa.m²

Thus, –1.3×10⁵ Pa.mm² is equivalent to –0.13 Pa.m².
