The Relative Formula Mass of NaH2PO4 is 120 g/mol
Therefore, the number of moles = 6.6/120
                                                   = 0.055 moles of NaH2PO4 which is also equal to the number of moles of H2PO4.
[H2PO4-] = Number of moles oof H2PO4-/Volume of the solution in L
  = 0.055/ ( 355 ×10^-3)
  = 0.155 M
Na2HPO4 undergoes complete dissociation as follows;
Na2HPO4 (aq)= 2Na+ (aq) + HPO4^2- (aq)

1 mole of Na2HPO4 = 142 g/mol
Therefore; number of moles = 8.0/142
                                             = 0.0563 moles
 [HPO4 ^-2] is given by no of moles HPO4^2- /volume of the solution in L
     = 0.0563/(355×10^-3)
     =  0.1586 M
Both H2PO4^2- and HPO4^2- are weak acids the undergoes partial dissociation 
Ka of H2PO4- = 6.20 × 10^-8
 [H+] =Ka*([H2PO4-]/[HPO4(2-)]
        = (6.20 ×10^-8)×(0.155/0.1586)
        = 6.059 ×10^-8 M
pH = - log[H+]
     = - log (6.059×10^-8)
     = 7.218

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

P_H =2.86

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

C_3H_6O_3  ⇄ C_3H_5O_3^{-}  +H^{+}

assuming degree of dissociation \alpha =1/10;

and initial concentraion of C_3H_6O_3 =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha

[C_3H_5O_3^{-}  ]= c\alpha

[H^{+}] = c\alpha

K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}

\alpha is very small so 1-\alpha can be neglected

and equation is;

K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}

[H^{+}] = c\alpha = \frac{K_a}{\alpha}

P_H =- log[H^{+} ]

P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha

K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}

\alpha = \frac{1}{10}

P_H= 3.86-1

P_H =2.86

composiion ;

c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]

[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)

[H^{+} ] =0.0014

c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.
