You have just completed assaying the change in absorbance for an enzyme. The initial absorbance was 0.022; the absorbance after

5 minutes was 0.444. Calculate the rate of enzyme activity for this sample (as increase in A per 10 minutes). Show your work. What is a RATE and name some RATES that you commonly encounter.

Answer:

The answer is 0.844/10 minutes

Explanation:

You have an enzyme that catalizes a reaction which gives a product that can be quantified by an absorbance measurement. The more reaction time, the more product quantity and higher absorbance.

The rate of the reaction is the change in products quantity per time unit. As you are using the absorbance as a measure of the product quantity, you can calculate the rate as the change in absorbance (ΔA) per time (in minutes) as follows:

rate= ΔA/time

rate= (final absorbance - initial absorbance) /minutes

rate= (0.444-0.022)/5 min

rate= 0.422/5 min

In 10 minutes will be :

rate= 0.844/10 min

Commonly, a rate is the relation between two quantities measured in different units. For example, the speed of a car is the change in meters (traveled distance) per time (m/s or km/h). For an enzyme, is the same (quantity of product/time).

Given a solution with a Ph of 2.8, what is the [H3O+] of the solution?
Crank
pH=-\log_{10} [H_3O^+] \Rightarrow [H_3O^+]=10^{-pH} \\ \\
pH=2.8 \\
\ [H_3O^+]=10^{-2.8} \approx 1.58 \times 10^{-3}

The [H₃O⁺] of the solution is approximately 1.58 × 10⁻³ M.

All of the covalent carbon-carbon bonds in unsaturated hydrocarbons share 2 pairs of electrons.
Evgen [1.6K]

False. carbon-carbon bonds that share 2 pairs of electrons are double bonds. An unsaturated hydrocarbon isnt necessary to only have double bonds. they can also have single bonds or triple bonds.

What is the mass, in grams, of solute in 255mL of a 0.0525M solution of KMnO4 (MM =
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Mass = 2.12 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of KMnO₄ = 255 mL (255/1000 = 0.255 L)

Molarity = 0.0525 M

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

<em>Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume in litter</em>

0.0525 M = number of moles of solute / 0.255 L

Number of moles of solute = 0.0525 M ×0.255 L

Number of moles of solute = 0.0134 mol

Mass in gram:

<em>Number of moles = mass/ molar mass</em>

Mass = moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.0134 mol × 158.04 g/mol

Mass = 2.12 g

Mass of N₂ will be formed : 50.12 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2 NH₃(g) + 3 CuO(s) → N₂(g) + 3 Cu(s) + 3 H₂O(g)

moles NH₃ = 3.58

ratio mol NH₃ : mol N₂ = 2 : 1

so mol N₂ :

\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.58=1.79

mass N₂ (MW=28 g/mol) :

\tt 1.79\times 28=50.12~g
