Hey there!:

From the given data ;

Reaction  volume = 1 mL , enzyme content = 10 ug ( 5 ug in 2 mg/mL )

Enzyme mol Wt = 45,000 , therefore [E]t is 10 ug/mL , this need to be express as "M" So:

[E]t in molar  = g/L * mol/g

[E]t  = 0.01 g/L * 1 / 45,000

[E]t = 2.22*10⁻⁷

Vmax = 0.758 umole/min/ per mL

= 758 mmole/L/min

=758000 mole/L/min => 758000 M

Therefore :

Kcat = Vmax/ [E]t

Kcat = 758000 / 2.2*10⁻⁷ M

Kcat = 3.41441 *10¹² / min

Kcat = 3.41441*10¹² / 60 per sec

Kcat = 5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹

Hence   kcat of   xyzase is  5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹


Hope that helps!

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga
vovikov84 [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Initial volume, V1 = 3.5 L
  • Initial pressure, P1 = 0.8 atm
  • Final pressure, P2 = 0.5 atm

We are required to calculate the final volume;

  • According to Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and the pressure are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.
  • That is; P α 1/V
  • Mathematically, P=k/V
  • At two different pressure and volume;

           P1V1 = P2V2

In this case;

Rearranging the formula;

V2 = P1V1 ÷ P2

     = (0.8 atm × 3.5 L) ÷ 0.5 atm

    = 5.6 L

Therefore, the resulting volume is 5.6 L
