Multiple
Organic
slower
a single
high
faster
inroganic
low
about the same

When looking at the plot G versus reaction coordinate, the profile for a biological catalyst (e.g. an enzyme) will have __________ transition state(s), with an overall activation energy that is __________ in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction.

Answer:

- When looking at the plot G versus reaction coordinate, the profile for a biological catalyst (e.g. an enzyme) will have <u>about the same</u> transition state(s), with an overall activation energy that is <u>low </u>in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction.

- Enzymes have a <u>high </u>molecular weight and are <u>organic</u> compounds, while inorganic catalysts often have a <u>low</u> molecular weight and are <u>inorganic</u> compounds.

- When comparing rates, enzymes are typically several times <u>faster</u> than inorganic catalysts.

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic molecules capable of producing a faster chemical reaction. In an enzymatic reaction the transition state -corresponding to the state in which the substrates or products are equally likely- tends to be the same, while the energy required for the reaction decreases.

The differences between an enzyme and an inorganic catalyst are structural and functional:

  • <em>Enzymes are organic and of high molecular weight and catalysts are inorganic and of low molecular weight. </em>
  • <em>An enzyme can change its structure during a reaction, while the configuration of a catalyst is the same. </em>
  • <em>The reaction catalyzed by an enzyme is about 10⁶ to 10¹² times faster than with a catalyst.</em>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Tables
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.41 mol CaO

2.5 M Solution

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

1000 g = 1 kg

Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaO - 40.08 + 16.00 = 56.08 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 0.43 \ mol \ CaO(\frac{56.08 \ g \ Cao}{1 \ mol \ CaO})(\frac{1 \ kg \ CaO}{1000 \ g \ CaO})
  2. Multiply:                              \displaystyle 0.024114 \ kg \ CaO

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs as our lowest.</em>

0.024114 kg CaO ≈ 0.024 kg CaO
