Consider the biochemical pathway: A + E1 –> B + E2 –> C (Note that A, B, and C are molecules in the pathway, E1 is enzyme

1, and E2 is enzyme 2.) If enzyme 2 is inactive, which of the following compounds will accumulate?

Answer:

The compound that will accumulate is B.

Explanation:

Enzymes in any biochemical process are the protein molecules that speed up the rate of the biological reaction. It lowers down the activation energy of the reactant molecules.

Since from the question:

<u>A + E1 –> B + E2 –> C</u>

Given that A, B and C are the molecules in the pathway and E1 and E2 are the enzymes.

<u>This means that A undergoes some biological reaction in which E1 is acting a catalyst to give B and which further undergoing another biological reaction to give C in the presence of enzyme E2.</u>

Since, E2 is inactive,

<u>A will form B but B will not be able to undergo further reaction and thus, C can not be formed.</u>

<u>Thus A is consumed and C is not formed. The compound that will accumulate is B.</u>

Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29

Explanation:

First write the balance eqation of chemical reaction:

2S(s) +3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

Remember writing any chemical reaction from its  elemetal form then write the elements in their natural form i.e. how that element exists in the nature here sulphur exists in solid monoatomic form in the nature and oxygen in gaseous diatomic form.

mass of oxygen given=5gram

mole of oxygen=5/32mol=0.16mol

mass of sulpher given=6gram

mole of sulpher=6/32mol=0.19mol

from the above balanced equaion;

2 mole of sulphur reacts with 3 mole Oxygen completely

1 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5 mole Oxygen completely

0.19 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5\times 0.19 i.e. 0.285 mole Oxygen completely.

but we have 0.16 mole so oxygen will be the limiting reagent and sulpher will be the excess reagent

so product will depend on the limiting reagent

from the balance equation

3 mole of sulpher gives 2 mole SO_3

1 mole of sulpher will give 2/3 mole SO_3

0.16 of sulpher will give 0.12 mole SO_3

mass of SO_3=9.6gram this is theoreical production of SO_3

and

actual production of SO_3 =7.9gram

\%\, yield   \,\, SO_3=\frac{Actual \,yield}{theoretical\, yield}\times 100

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=\frac{7.9}{9.6} \times 100=82.29

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29

zvonat [6]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction of chlorine gas and sodium iodide to produce elemental iodine and sodium chloride in aqueous solution is expressed Cl2+2NaI= I2 + 2NaCl. This kind of reaction is called single replacement reaction where the anion, in this case, is only replaced.
