Many enzymes are inhibited irreversibly by heavy metal ions such as Hg2+ , Cu2+ , or Ag+ , which can react with essential sulfhy

dryl groups to form mercaptides. Enz−SH+Ag+⟶Enz−S−Ag+H+ The affinity of Ag+ for sulfhydryl groups is so great that Ag+ can be used to titrate −SH groups quantitatively. To 10.0 mL of a solution containing 1.3 mg/mL of a pure enzyme, an investigator added just enough AgNO3 to completely inactivate the enzyme. A total of 0.436 μmol AgNO3 was required. Calculate the minimum molecular weight (????r) of the enzyme.

Answer:

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

The volume of the solution = 10 ml = 10*10^-3L

Molarity of the solution = 1.3 mg/ml

moles of AgNO3 added = 0.436 µmol = 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the mass

Density = mass/ volume

1.3mg/mL = mass/ 10.0 mL

mass = 1.3mg/mL *10.0 mL = 13mg

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate minimum molecular weight

Molecular weight = mass of the enzyme / number of moles

Molecular weight of the enzyme = 13mg/ 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

Molecular weight = 29.82 g/mole

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at
WITCHER [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}

We are given:

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Specific gravity of ethanol = 0.787

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.787=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{0.997g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of a substance}=(0.787\times 0.997g/mL)=0.784g/mL

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} ......(1)

Given values:

Mass of ethanol = 125 g

Density of ethanol = 0.784 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Volume of ethanol}=\frac{125g}{0.784g/mL}=159.44mL

Hence, the volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

What's meant by the term enantiotropy?​
Mila [183]

Answer:

the relation of two different forms of the same substance (such as two allotropic forms of tin) that have a definite transition point and can therefore change reversibly each into the other — compare monotropy.
