The incredible catalytic power of enzymes can perhaps best be appreciated by imagining how challenging life would be without jus

t one of the thousands of enzymes in the human body. For example, consider life without fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, an enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway in liver and kidneys, which helps produce new glucose from the food we eat:
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H2O → Fructose-6-phosphate + Pi
The human brain requires glucose as its only energy source, and the typical brain consumes about 120. g (or 480. calories) of glucose daily. Ordinarily, two pieces of sausage pizza could provide more than enough potential glucose to feed the brain for a day. According to a national fast-food chain, two pieces of sausage pizza provide 1260 calories, 49.0 % of which is from fat. Fats cannot be converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis, so that leaves 615 calories potentially available for glucose synthesis. The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in the absence of enzyme is 2.00×10-20 sec-1.Calculate how long it would take to provide enough glucose for one day of brain activity from two pleces of sausage pizza without the enzyme.

Answer:

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Explanation:

First order rate constant is given as,

k =  (2.303 /t) log  [A₀] /[Aₙ]

where  [A₀]  is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>

[A₀]  = 615 calories;

[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories

k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹

substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;

2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)

(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)

t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

How many moles are in 1.05 g of gold (Au)?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.005 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of Gold = 1.05 g ,

m = molecular mass of Gold = 197 g/mol

<u>Hence , moles can be calculated as -</u>

n = w / m = 1.05 g / 197 g/mol = 0.005 mol
