Here we have to write a simple equation which describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

The equation is: The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$

Let us consider an enzyme catalyses reaction E + S ⇄ ES → E + P

Where E, S, ES and P are enzyme, substrate, complex and product respectively.

The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$ , where $K_{m}$ is the Michaelis constant.

[E]₀ and [S] is the initial concentration of enzyme and concentration of substrate respectively.

What is the hydronium ion concentration of a solution whose pH is 7.30

Assoli18 [71]

[ H₃O⁺] = 10 ^ - pH

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 10 ^ - 7.30

[ H₃O⁺ ] = 5.011 x 10⁻⁸ M

Answer: 1. C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B) $NH_3$

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: $NH_3$

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: $Mg_3N_2$ , $AlCl_3$ and $LiBr$

3. For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas $F_2$
