The \Delta {\text{G}} for the new reaction is \boxed{ - 10{\text{0 kcal/mol}}} when the amount of enzyme is doubled.

Further explanation:

Properties are categorized into two types:

1. Intensive properties:

These properties depend on the nature of the substance and not on the size of the system. If the system is further divided into a number of subsystems, the values of intensive properties remain unchanged. Temperature, refractive index, molarity, concentration, pressure, and density are some of the examples of intensive properties.

2. Extensive properties:

These properties depend on the amount of the substance. These are additive in nature if a single system is divided into several subsystems. Mass, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, volume, energy, size, weight, and length are some of the examples of extensive properties.

As {\Delta G}} is an extensive property, it should depend on the amount or quantity of substance. So if the amount of enzyme is doubled, the change in Gibbs free energy should also increase accordingly. But we are provided with the value of {\Delta G}} in terms of kcal/mol (-100 kcal/mol). It means it is the value of {\Delta G}} for one mole and therefore the amount of substance becomes constant. Hence the value of {\Delta G}} will not change on changing the concentration of enzyme.

So {\mathbf{\Delta G}} for the new reaction is -100 kcal/mol when the amount of enzyme is doubled in the reaction.

The doubling the amount will change the gibbs free energy as it is an extensive property which depends upon the the amount of the substance


However as asked in question the DeltaG has unit of kcal /mol

So we have already defined the amount of substance to be one mole this means the value per mole will be same irrespective of the amount taken as we are reporting it for a fixed one mole of a substance

Hence answer is

-100 kcal/mol

. Calculate the final Celsius temperature of sulfur dioxide gas if 50.0 mL of the gas at 20 C and 0.450 atm is heated until the
Anna [14]

Answer:

The final temperature of sulfur dioxide gas is 215.43 C

Explanation:

Gay Lussac's Law establishes the relationship between the temperature and the pressure of a gas when the volume is constant. This law says that if the temperature increases the pressure increases, while if the temperature decreases the pressure decreases. In other words, the pressure and temperature are directly proportional quantities.

Mathematically, the Gay-Lussac law states that, when a gas undergoes a transformation at constant volume, the quotient of the pressure exerted by the temperature of the gas remains constant:

\frac{P}{T}=k

Assuming you have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment, by varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and it will be true:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

The reference temperature is the absolute temperature (in degrees Kelvin)

In this case:

  • P1= 0.450 atm
  • T1= 20 C= 293.15 K (being 0 C= 273.15 K)
  • P2=0.750 atm
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{0.450atm}{293.15 K} =\frac{0.750 atm}{T2}

Solving:

T2 =\frac{0.750 atm}{\frac{0.450atm}{293.15 K} }

T2=\frac{0.750 atm}{0.450 atm} *293.15K

T2=488.58 K

Being 273.15 K= 0 C, then 488.58 K= 215.43 C

A mixture contains only NaCl and Al2(SO4)3. A 1.45-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an ex- cess of NaOH is add
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample is 16.18%.

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 1.45 g

Al_2SO_3+6NaOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3Na_2SO_4

Mass of the precipitate = 0.107 g

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = \frac{0.107 g}{78 g/mol}=0.001372 mol

According to reaction, 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide is obtained from 1 mole of aluminum sulfate .

Then 0.001372 moles of aluminum hydroxide will be obtained from:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.001372 mol=0.000686 mol

Mass of 0.000686 moles of aluminum sulfate :

= 0.000686 mol × 342 g/mol = 0.2346 g

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample:

=\frac{ 0.2346 g}{1.45g}\times 100=16.18\%

Iodine monochloride (ICl) has a higher boiling point than bromine (Br2) partly because iodine monochloride is a(n)
tekilochka [14]

Answer: polar molecule.

Explanation:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. The boiling point is dependent on the type of forces present.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativities of iodine and chlorine. Thus the molecules are bonded by strong dipole dipole forces. Thus a higher temperature is needed to generate enough vapor pressure.

Bromine (Br_2) is a non polar molecule as there is no electronegativity difference between two bromine atoms. The molecules are bonded by weak vanderwaal forces and thus has low boiling point.
