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

Which of these is a unique property of bases?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A. Feels slippery

Explanation:

Bases are the only types of compounds that have a slippery feel.

B is <em>wrong</em><em>.</em> Most bases do not contain carbon, but organic compounds always do.

C is <em>wrong</em>. Aqueous solutions of bases conduct electricity, but so do aqueous solutions of salts.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Most bases have a bitter taste. Acids have a sour taste.

Nostrana [21]

Answer: Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2KNO_3(aq)

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.

The balanced molecular equation is:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2KNO_3(aq)

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

666,480 Joules or 669.48 kJ

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Volume of water as 2.0L or 2000 ml

but, density of water is 1 g/ml

  • Therefore, mass of water is 2000 g
  • Initial temperature as 20 °C
  • Final temperature as 99.7° C

Required to determine the heat change

We know that ;

Heat change = Mass × Temperature change × specific heat

In this case;

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Temperature change is 79.7 °C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

                      = 669,480 Joules 0r 669.48 kJ

Thus, the heat change involved is 666,480 Joules or 669.48 kJ
