14. An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km

for that substrate. After 9 minutes, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 12 mol. If, in a separate experiment, one-third as much enzyme and twice as much substrate had been combined, how long would it take for the same amount (12 mol) of product to be formed?

Answer:

27 min

Explanation:

The kinetics of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be determined by the equation of Michaelis-Menten:

v = \frac{vmax[S]}{Km + [S]}

Where v is the velocity in the equilibrium, vmax is the maximum velocity of the reaction (which is directed proportionally of the amount of the enzyme), Km is the equilibrium constant and [S] is the concentration of the substrate.

So, initially, the velocity of the formation of the substrate is 12μmol/9min = 1.33 μmol/min

If Km is a thousand times smaller then [S], then

v = vmax[S]/[S]

v = vmax

vmax = 1.33 μmol/min

For the new experiment, with one-third of the enzyme, the maximum velocity must be one third too, so:

vmax = 1.33/3 = 0.443 μmol/min

Km will still be much smaller then [S], so

v = vmax

v = 0.443 μmol/min

For 12 μmol formed:

0.443 = 12/t

t = 12/0.443

t = 27 min

Bismuth-210 has a half life of 5.0 days if you had a sample of 60.00g of Bismuth-210 how much would be left after 15 days? (Show
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

7.5 gm left

Explanation:

Bismuth-210 has a half life of 5 days

15 days is 15/5 = 3 half lives

since half the amount is left in 5 days or 1 half life

(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) the staring amount would be left in

3 half lives. so 1/8 is left

(1/8) x 60.0 = 7.5 gm left

5. Balance the following reactions using either the oxidation number method or the half-reaction
stich3 [128]

The balanced reaction equations are;

a) 4 NaClO + H2S → 4 NaCl + H2SO4

b)6Ce^4+ + I^– + 6OH^– → 6 Ce^3+ + IO3^– + 3H2O

<h3>What is a balanced redox reaction?</h3>

A redox reaction is said to be balanced when the number of electrons gained is equal to the number of electrons lost.

Let us now write the balanced reaction equations one after the other. Thus;

a) 4 NaClO + H2S → 4 NaCl + H2SO4

b)6Ce^4+ + I^– + 6OH^– → 6 Ce^3+ + IO3^– + 3H2O

How do the chemical properties of the halegons compare to those of the noble gases
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The halogens are extremely reactive, whilst the noble gases are mainly inert.

Only some noble gases tend to form compounds, such as xenon and krypton. However, some like helium, almost have no compounds at all. Noble gases also have octet rule shells, which causes the little reactivity associated with them. To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. Compounds like chlorine and fluorine must be stored carefully, as they will oxidise anything that they can find, just to get one extra electron to get an octet configuration.


Hope this helps :)

Why does galium melt
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).

- It melts once it reaches its melting point.
