Imagine that you are observing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in lab. every time you add more enzyme, the reaction rate increases

proportionally until the reaction rate suddenly levels off. no other chemicals were added, and no modifications were made in the experimental setting. why do you think the reaction rate stopped increasing?

Enzymes catalyze the chemical reactions, they act upon the reaction substrates and speed up the reaction. Enzymes have active sites, the places where the reaction substrates interact with the enzyme bringing about the conversion of substrates to products. So, as the enzyme concentration increases the rate of reaction increases till a point where the rate is leveled off. The rate does not further increase, as the substrate might have become limiting at that point. All the available amount of substrate would have been associated with the active sites of the enzymes. So, at that point although there is enough catalyst, lack of substrate would limit the rate of reaction.

The chemical equation below is correctly balanced.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of SO2 = 4.00 moles

STP = Pressure = 1 atm  and temperature = 273 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles SO2, we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles SO3

For 4.00 moles SO2 we need 4.00 / 2 = 2.00 moles O2

Step 4: Calculate volume of O2

For 1 mol we have a volume of 22.4 L

V = (n*R*T)/ p

V = (2.00 * 0.08206 * 273)/p

V = 44.8 L

For 2.00 moles we have a volume of 2*22.4 = 44.8 L

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)

Defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of OH-​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

As with the hydrogen-ion concentration, the concentration of the hydroxide ion can be expressed logarithmically by the pOH. The pOH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide-ion concentration. pOH=−log[OH−] The pH of a solution can be related to the pOH.

Diagram of mass spectroscopy​
ra1l [238]

Explanation:

“The basic principle of mass spectrometry (MS) is to generate ions from either inorganic or organic compounds by any suitable method, to separate these ions by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) and to detect them qualitatively and quantitatively by their respective m/z and abundance
