An inhibitor is added to an enzyme-catalyzed reaction at a concentration of 26.7 μM. The Vmax remains constant at 50.0 μM/s, but
fomenos

Using the Michaelis-Menten equation competitive inhibition, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

<h3>What is the Ki for the inhibitor?</h3>

The Ki of an inhibitor is known as the inhibition constant.

The inhibition is a competitive inhibition as the Vmax is unchanged but Km changes.

Using the Michaelis-Menten equation for inhibition:

  • Kma = Km/(1 + [I]/Ki)

Making Ki subject of the formula:

  • Ki = [I]/{(Kma/Km) - 1}

where:

  • Kma is the apparent Km due to inhibitor
  • Km is the Km of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction
  • [I] is the concentration of the inhibitor

Solving for Ki:

where

[I] = 26.7 μM

Km = 1.0

Kma = (150% × 1 ) + 1 = 2.5

Ki = 26.7 μM/{(2.5/1) - 1)

Ki = 53.4 μM

Therefore, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

3.8 liters of sulfur vapor, S8(g), at 921.4°C and 5.87 atm is burned in excess pure oxygen gas to give sulfur dioxide gas measur
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

116.5 g of SO₂ are formed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

S₈(g) +  8O₂(g)  → 8SO₂ (g)

Let's identify the moles of sulfur vapor, by the Ideal Gases Law

We convert the 921.4°C to Absolute T° → 921.4°C + 273 = 1194.4 K

5.87 atm . 3.8L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K

(5.87 atm . 3.8L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K) = n → 0.228 moles of S₈

Ratio is 1:8, 1 mol of sulfur vapor can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Then, 0.228 moles of S₈ must produce (0.228 . 8) /1 =  1.82 moles

We convert the moles to g → 1.82 moles . 64.06 g /1mol = 116.5 g

Why is cl2 a subcript​
vazorg [7]

Answer:

In Cl_2, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O_2\\ or N_2, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as Ca_3(PO_4)_2 it indicates there are 2 PO_4 molecules.
