Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym

saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is $Na^+$ and one anion whose chemical symbol is $Cl^-$

Explanation:

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.

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms $Na^+$ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms $Cl^-$ .

For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

$Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ combine to form neutral $NaCl$

The Michaelis constant for pancreatic lipase is 5 mM. At 60 C, lipase is subject to deactivation with a half-life of 8 min. Fat

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

According to the given data, we will calculate the following.

Half life of lipase $t_{1/2}$ = 8 min x 60 s/min

= 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction is as follows.

$k_{d} = \frac{0.6932}{480}$

= $1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}
$

Initial fat concentration $S_{o}$ = 45 $mol/m^{3}$

= 45 mmol/L

Rate of hydrolysis $V_m_{o}$ = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration (S) = $S_{o} (1 - X)$

= 45 (1 - 0.80)

= 9 $mol/m^{3}$

or, = 9 mmol/L

It is given that $K_{m}$ = 5mmol/L

Therefore, time taken will be calculated as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

= $-\frac{1}{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}ln[1 - \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{0.07 mmol/L/s
}{K_{M} ln (\frac{45 mmol/L
}{9 mmol/L
}) + (45 mmol/L - 9 mmol/L
)]$

= $1642.83 s \times \frac{1 min}{60 sec}$

= 27.38 min

Therefore, we can conclude that time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present is 27.38 min.

What is a reaction mechanism

ehidna [41]

Answer:

In chemistry, a reaction mechanism is the step by step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical change occurs. A chemical mechanism is a theoretical conjecture that tries to describe in detail what takes place at each stage of an overall chemical reaction.
