The answer is a strike-slip. More specifically a right-lateral strike-slip.

write the overall rate law for the initial rate of the reaction as a fraction.

Rate=k(________/_________)

Answer:

The overall rate law for the initial reaction is = $k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]$

Explanation :

Frist of all, all the common terms are cancelled out and written the overall reaction.

As we know that the rate depednant step is the slowest step of the reaction, rate law is :

rate = $k_{2} [SO_{3}][C_{6}H_{6}]$

But the problem is that SO3 cannot be written in the overall rate law because it is an intermediate.

Rate law for synthesis of S03 is as follows :

rate = $k_{1}[H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2}$

Hence when we substitute equation 2 in equation one,

Rate comes out to be = $k_{overall} [H_{2}SO_{4}]^{2} [C_{6}H_{6}]$

Which of the following is false? a. an apoenzyme can catalyze its reaction without its cofactor b an organic cofactor can be cal

ozzi

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A protein part of an enzyme is known as an apoenzyme. An apoenzyme combines with a cofactor, it is known as holoenzyme.

Without a cofactor an apoenzyme cannot function as cofactor helps in the formation of an active enzyme system and provides a specific site on enzyme for the substrate.

Whereas a non-protein chemical compound or metal ion that helps in the activity of enzyme as a catalyst is known as a cofactor. A metal ion cofactor can be bound directly to the enzyme or to a coenzyme.

The organic non-protein molecules which bind to the protein molecule to form an active enzyme is known as a coenzyme. Coenzymes are small size molecules which help the enzymes to act as a catalyst.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement an apoenzyme can catalyze its reaction without its cofactor, is false.

Cis-4-tertButylcyclohexyl bromide (compound 1) and Trans-4 tert Butylcyclohexylbromide (compound 2) are reacted with Potassium T

Mkey [24]

Answer:

In compound 1 the Tert butyl group occupies the equatorial position and the Bromine occupies the axial position and in compound 2 the Tert butyl occupies the axial and the bromine occupies equatorial positions. Compound 1 reacts faster than compound 2.

Explanation:

In cyclic organic compounds, substituents may occupy the axial or equatorial positions. The axial positions are aligned parallel to the symmetry axis of the ring while the equatorial positions are around the plane of the ring.

Bulky substituents have more room in the equatorial than in the axial position. This means that compound 1 is more stable than compound 2.

This is clear on the basis of stability of the molecules because compound 1 will react faster than compound 2 since the bulky tertiary butyl group in compound 1 occupy equatorial and not axial positions.
