They act as catalysts
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
7 0

There are 2 correct options for this problem.

1) They only speed up the chemical reactions. : True

Enzymes are biological catalysts. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction. When a reaction needs less energy to start, it occurs at a faster rate.

Many biological reactions that occur in our body are occurring at body temperature. The reactions would become very slow at this temperature . Therefore enzymes act a catalyst to speed up these reactions.

2) They act as catalysts, each for one specific reaction. : True

This option is true because as discussed above, enzymes are catalyst and their job is to speed up a chemical reaction. Enzymes have active sites where a particular substrate can bind during the reaction. Therefore a given enzyme acts a catalyst for a specific reaction only.

Answer:

Experiments to determine mechanisms involve looking at indirect evidence to help support or disprove a proposed mechanism.

Most intermediates are not typically isolated to determine reaction mechanisms.

Carbocations are very reactive and are typically not isolated for analysis.

Scientists can prove that a specific mechanism exists.

Evidence of intermediates sometimes can be seen using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Explanation:

The study of reaction mechanism and chemical kinetics often form the main thrust of study in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.

We often want to know the actual processes involved in the conversion of one specie to another. Unfortunately, this information may have to be obtained indirectly by certain chemical reactions or by the use of new instrumental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Many organic reactions have carbocation intermediates. These carbocations are relatively short-lived and are transient intermediates which are rarely isolated unless they are isolated in a molecular cage using a macromolecule or in superacids.

By intensive study, scientists can proof or disprove the authenticity of any proposed mechanism.

We must know that a transition state has partial bonds. It is often an extremely short-lived specie which cannot be isolated.

Look at this balanced chemical reaction: N2 + 3H2 2NH3
stepladder [879]

Answer: A mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.

Explanation:

Given: Volume = 450 L

Temperature = 450 K

Pressure = 300 atm

Using ideal gas equation, moles of nitrogen are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = tempertaure

Substitute values into the above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\300 atm \times 450 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 450 K\\n = \frac{135000}{36.945}\\= 3654.08 mol

According to the given equation, 1 mole of nitrogen forms 2 moles of ammonia. So, moles of ammonia formed by 3654.08 moles of nitrogen is as follows.

2 \times 3654.08 mol\\= 7308.16 mol

As moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of ammonia (molar mass = 17.03 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7308.16 = \frac{mass}{17.03 g/mol}\\mass = 124457.96 g

Thus, we can conclude that a mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.
