How does the shape of an enzyme affect its function?

Each enzyme's active site is suitable for one specific type of substrate – just like a lock that has the right shape for only one specific key. Changing the shape of the active site of an enzyme will cause its reaction to slow down until the shape has changed so much that the substrate no longer fits.

An enzyme's shape directly affects how it catalyzes a reaction. Its shape is determined by the sequence of amino acids in its structure and the bonds that form between the atoms of those molecules.

Hope this helps!

What is the molarity of a solution containing 0.5 mol of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) per liter?
QveST [7]

molarity = G/L/RFM

RFM = 120+32+48= 200

0.5/200 = 0.0025

And electro chemical cell has the following standard cell notation:
pochemuha

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Standard cell notation:

Mg(s) | Mg2+ (aq) || Ag+(aq)| Ag(s)

Required

a balanced redox reaction

Solution

At the cathode the reduction reaction occurs, the anode oxidation reaction occurs

In reaction:  

Ag⁺ + Mg → Ag + Mg²⁺  

half-reactions

  • at the cathode (reduction reaction)

Ag⁺ (aq) + e⁻ ---> Ag (s)  x2

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> 2Ag (s)

  • at the anode (oxidation reaction)

Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−

a balanced cell reaction

<em>2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq) </em>

A sample of helium gas has a pressure of 1.20 atm at 22.0 C. At what Celsius temperature will the helium reach a pressure of 2.0
Anarel [89]

Answer: 36.6°C

Explanation:

Given that,

initial pressure of helium (P1) = 1.20 atm

Initial temperature (T1) = 22.0°C

Final temperature (T2) = ?

Final pressure of helium (P2) = 2.00 atm

Since pressure and temperature are given while volume is constant, apply the formula for pressure's law

P1/T1= P2/T2

1.20 atm / 22.0°C = 2.00 atm / T2

Cross multiply

1.20 atm•T2= 2.00 atm•22°C

1.20 atm•T2= 44 atm•°C

Divide both sides by 1.20 atm

1.20 atm•T2/1.20 atm = 44 atm•°C/1.20 atm

T2 = 36.6°C
