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).

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600     2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130              2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

 8600

<u>  + </u><u>13</u><u>0 </u>

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

Why do you think many metals are good at conducting electricity?<br> Hurry, please!!!
umka2103 [35]
Answer. Metals are excellent conductors because the atoms in a metal form a matrix through which their outer electrons can move freely. Instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions

Atoms are the unit of the molecule of the compound. The 3.01 x 10²⁴  atoms of oxygen are present in 5 moles of water and 3 moles of carbon dioxide in the sample.

<h3>What are atoms?</h3>

Atoms are the smallest fundamental unit of the compounds that can be given by Avogadro's number.

For calculating the oxygen atoms in 5 mole water:

If 1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³

Then, 5 moles = 5 ×  6.02 × 10²³

Hence, 3.01 x 10²⁴ atoms of oxygen are present in 5 moles of water.

Moles of carbon dioxide in the sample is calculated as:

If 1 mole of carbon dioxide = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules

Then moles in 1.8 x 10²⁴ molecules will be,

(1.8 x 10²⁴ molecules) ÷ (6.02 × 10²³ molecules)  = 3 moles

Hence, 3 moles of carbon dioxide is present in the sample.
