Answer:

If 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.

Explanation:

First of all you must know the amount of mass that reacts and is produced from each compound stochemically (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction).

For that you must know the atomic mass of each element, read in the periodic table:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O: 16 g/mol

Then,  the compounds involved in the reaction have a molar mass, that is, the mass in one mole of the compound, of:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
  • MgO: 24 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 40 g/mol

But in the reaction 2 Mg + O₂ —-> 2 MgO it is observed that 2 moles of Mg and 1 mole of O₂ react, and 2 moles of MgO are formed. Then stoichiometrically they react and the following mass quantities are produced:

  • Mg: 2 mol*24 g/mol= 48 g
  • O₂: 1 mol*32 g/mol= 32 g
  • MgO: 2 moles*40 g/mol= 80 g

By stoichiometry you can see that when reacting 48 g of Mg, 80 g of MgO are formed.  Expressed in another way, <u><em>if 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.</em></u>

think it maybe 48 mg0 because there should be 2g magnesium in the word equation

What is the most metallic character with low ionization energies
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies. Within a compound, metal atoms have relatively low attraction for electrons, as indicated by their low electronegativities.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The K_{m} of a substrate will be "10 μM".

Explanation:

The given values are:

E_{t} = 20 \ nM

[Substract] = 40 \ \mu M

K_{cat}=600 \ s^{-1}

Reaction velocity, Vo=9.6 \ \mu M s^{-1}

As we know,

⇒  Vo=\frac{K_{cat}[E_{t}][S]}{K_{m}+[S]}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  9.6=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{K_{m}+40}

⇒  K_{m}+40=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{9.6}

⇒  K_{m}+40=50

On subtracting "40" from both sides, we get

⇒  K_{m}+40-40=50-40

⇒  K_{m}=10 \ \mu M

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much       |                                 | Almost all active

 lower than         |                                 | sites are filled

[E_{free}]                  |                                 |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme[ES] is mathematically represented as

                   [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where [S] is the substrate concentration and K_M is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement [S] < < K_M

  Looking at the equation [S] is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to K_M)  hence the above equation becomes

               [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}

Since [S] is less than K_M it means that \frac{[S]}{K_M}  < < 1

so it means that [ES] < < [E_{total}]

  What this means is that the  number of combined enzymes[ES] i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites [E_{total}]  i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [E_{free}]  i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to [E_{total}]

Considering the second statement

      [S] = K_M

So  this means that equation one would now become

           [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

      [S] >>K_M

In this case the K_M in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

       [ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

 The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

             v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and V_{max}  is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the K_M at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

                v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing [E_{total}] will lower K_M

This is because K_M does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme
