<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
  • Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

                                        = 0.3869 J/g°C

                                        = 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol. Part A If an enzyme increases the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme

Explanation:

From the given information:

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol.

In this  same concentration for the glucose and fructose; the reaction rate can be calculated by the rate factor which can be illustrated from the Arrhenius equation;

Rate factor in the absence of catalyst:

k_1= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT}}

Rate factor in the presence of catalyst:

k_2= A*e^{^{^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT}}

Assuming the catalyzed reaction and the uncatalyzed reaction are  taking place at the same temperature :

Then;

the ratio of the rate factors can be expressed as:

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_2}{RT} }} { e^{ \dfrac {- Ea_1}{RT} }}

\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}={  \dfrac {e^{[  Ea_1 - Ea_2 ] }}{RT} }}

Thus;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = RT In \dfrac{k_2}{k_1}

Let say the assumed temperature = 25° C

= (25+ 273)K

= 298 K

Then ;

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 8.314 \  J/mol/K * 298 \ K *  In (10^6)

Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34228.92 \ J/mol

\mathbf{Ea_1-Ea_2 = 34.23 \ kJ/mol}

The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme
