The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the r

ate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 3.50 ✕ 103 as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction. Assuming the frequency factor A is the same for both the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions, calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction.

Answer:

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol,

Let the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction = E₁

E₁ = ??? (unknown)

Let the activation energy for an uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = E₂

E₂ = 50.0 kJ/mol

    = 50,000 J/mol

Temperature (T) = 37°C

= (37+273.15)K

= 310.15K

Rate constant (R) = 8.314 J/mol/k

Also, let the constant rate for the catalyzed biochemical reaction = K₁

let the constant rate for the uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = K₂

If the  rate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 3.50 × 10³ as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction, That implies that:

K₁ = 3.50 × 10³

K₂ = 1

Now, to calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction going by the following above parameter;

we can use the formula for Arrhenius equation;

K=Ae^{\frac{-E}{RT}}

If K_1=Ae^{\frac{-E_1}{RT}} -------equation 1     &

K_2=Ae^{\frac{-E_2}{RT}} -------equation 2

\frac{K_1}{K_2} = e^{\frac{-E_1-E_2}{RT}

E_1= E_2-RT*In(\frac{K_1}{K_2})

E_1= 50,000-8.314*310.15*In(\frac{3.50*10^3}{1})

E_1 = 28957.39292  J/mol

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

∴ the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction (E₁) = 28.96 kJ/mol

Which statement is true about compounds? They do not form living things. They do not form nonliving things. They are formed when
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is:

They are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Atoms of different elements combine with each other to attain stable electronic configuration.

The atoms can combine with each other in two different ways:

1) By sharing the electrons

2) By exchanging electrons

When they share electrons with each other, they form a covalent bond.

When they exchange electrons, they form an ionic bond.

The equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

The term chemical reaction has to do with the combination of substances to give products. We know that reactants and products must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hence, the equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

Answer: There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{63.00g}{18g/mol}=3.5moles

1 mole of H_2O contains =  6.023\times 10^{23} molecules

Thus 3.5 moles of H_2O contains =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 3.5=21.08\times 10^{23} molecules.

There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O
