An enzyme can catalyze a reaction with either of two substrates, S1 or S2. The Km for S1 was found to be 2.0 mM, and the Km, for

S2 was found to be 20 mM. A student determined that the Vmax was the same for the two substrates. Unfortunately, he lost the page of his notebook and needed to know the value of Vmax. He carried out two reactions: one with 0.1 mM S1, the other with 0.1 mM S2. Unfortunately, he forgot to label which reaction tube contained which substrate. Determine the value of Vmax from the results he obtained:
Tube number: 1
Rate of formation of product:0.5
Tube number: 2
Rate of formation of product: 4.8

Answer:

100.5 ≈ 101

Explanation:

Km for S1 = 2.0 mM

Km for S2 = 20 mM

Given that : S1 = S2 =  hence Vmax for either S1 or S2 can represent

The Vmax can be calculated using the data Given and equation below

Vo = Vmax [s] / ( Km + [s] )  ------ (1)

Vo = 0.5

[s] = 0.1 mM

km = 20 mM

making Vmax subject of  equation 1

Vmax = 0.5 ( 20.1 mM) / (0.1 mM )

         = 100.5 ≈ 101

A molecule made of hydrogen and carbon with Mr of 56 has the following composition: carbon 85.7%; hydrogen 14.3%. Calculate the
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.

Convert these weights to moles of each element:

85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.

14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.

Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.

Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.

The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.

Do organs of different species resemble each other?
spin [16.1K]
<span>This really depends on how closely related the species are. Species from vastly unrelated taxonomic groups are likely to have organs that differ substantially. Think for example of the compound eye of a spider and the eye of a human, or the bones of a fish compared to the cartilage of a shark. These are examples of species that are not closely related at all. Then think of a chimpanzee and a human. The organs of both species are very similar in form and function as they are closely related. </span>

What is the correct molecular geometry for F20?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

<h3>OF2 Molecular Geometry</h3><h3 /><h3>As only atoms are bonded with the central atom, it has a molecular geometry similar to AX2 that corresponds to linear geometry. Although the electron geometry of OF2 is tetrahedral, its molecular geometry is linear.</h3>
