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

The half life of radium-226 is 1600 years. If you have 200 grams of radium today how many grams would be present in 8000 years?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.

Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives

New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.

Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6

                                 = 500 x 0.015625

                                 = 7.8125 g

Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

There are one mole of O2 on the left side and on the right side there are three moles of O2. And to fix it you would need to make it two moles of O2 to have four molecules of O2 on the left side. Then you would make two moles of H2O to have a total of four moles of O2 on the right. Therefore, CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O is the answer.
