MgThe  empirical  formula   is  calculated as follows
fin the  moles of each  element
moles =  %  composition/ molar mass

magnesium(Mg) =  72.2/24 = 3moles
Nitrogen(N) = 27.8/14  = 1.986 moles

find the  moles  ration by  dividing each mole  by the smallest mole ( 1.986 moles)

that is 

magnesium)Mg)  = 3/1.986 =  1.5
Nitrogen (N)=  1.986/1.986 =1
multiply  both  the mole  ratio to remove the decimal

magnesium (Mg) = 1.5 x2 = 3
nitrogen (N)= 1 x2 =2

therefore  the empirical formula = Mg3N2

Some enzymes have one or more sulfhydryl (thiol) groups that are important to enzymatic activity but that can react upon standin
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A. Protein disulfide is oxidized.

Explanation:

When thiol reagents are introduced with some protein solutions they react with molecules of disulfide and oxidize the protein. There occurs inter-conversion of thiol molecules into free disulfide molecules. The DTT reduces the disulfide molecules bonds of proteins and it starts to peptide.

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol. Part A If an enzyme increases the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme

Explanation:

From the given information:

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol.

In this  same concentration for the glucose and fructose; the reaction rate can be calculated by the rate factor which can be illustrated from the Arrhenius equation;

Rate factor in the absence of catalyst:

k_1= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT}}

Rate factor in the presence of catalyst:

k_2= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT}}

Assuming the catalyzed reaction and the uncatalyzed reaction are  taking place at the same temperature :

Then;

the ratio of the rate factors can be expressed as:

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT} }} { e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT} }}

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{[  Ea_1 - Ea_2 ] }}{RT} }}

Thus;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = RT In \dfrac{k_2}{k_1}

Let say the assumed temperature = 25° C

= (25+ 273)K

= 298 K

Then ;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 8.314 \  J/mol/K * 298 \ K *  In (10^6)

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34228.92 \ J/mol

\mathbf{Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34.23 \ kJ/mol}

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme

A first-order reaction is 81omplete in 264s. A. What is the half-life for this reaction? b. How long will it take for the reacti
Arlecino [84]

A first-order reaction is 81omplete in 264s.The half-life for this reaction (i) t 1/2 = =3.465×10 −3 s.to reach 95% Completion = 285 s.

To measure reaction rates, chemists initiate the reaction, measure the concentration of the reactant or product at different times as the reaction progresses,

For a 0-order response, the mathematical expression that may be employed to determine the half of life is: t1/2 = [R]0/2k. For a first-order reaction, the half of-existence is given by: t1/2 = zero.693/ok. For a 2d-order response, the method for the half-life of the response is: 1/okay[R]0

The 1/2-life of a response (t1/2), is the quantity of time needed for a reactant concentration to lower via half of compared to its initial awareness. Its software is used in chemistry and medicine to are expecting the awareness of a substance over time

Half of the lifestyles is the time required for exactly 1/2 of the entities to decay   50%.
