The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

The enzyme urease catalyzes the reaction of urea, (NH_2CONH_2), with water to produce carbon dioxide and ammonia. In water, without the enzyme, the reaction proceeds with a first-order rate constant of 4.15 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1} at 100^{o}C. In the presence of the enzyme in water, the reaction proceeds with a rate constant of 3.4 \times 10^{4} s^{-1} at 21^{o}C.  

If the rate of the catalyzed reaction were the same at 100^{o}C as it is at 21^{o}C, what would be the difference in the activation energy between the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is as follows.

       Urea + Water \rightarrow CO_{2} + NH_{3}

Hence, it is given that,

without enzyme: Rate = 4.15 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1} at 100^{o}C

with enzyme: Rate = 3.4 \times 10^{4} s^{-1} at 21^{o}C

                      Rate = 3.4 \times 10^{4} s^{-1} at 100^{o}C

It is known that,

       ln \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}{\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}][/tex]

and,  ln K = \frac{-E_{a}}{RT} + ln A

Let us assume that collision factor (A) is same for both the reactions.

Hence,   \Delta E = RT ln (\frac{K_{with enzyme}}{K_{without enzyme}})

                         = 8.314 \times J/K mol \times (100 + 273) K \times ln (\frac{3.4 \times 10^{4}}{4.15 \times 10^{-5}})

                         = 63672.8 J/mol

                         = 63.67 kJ/mol      (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the difference in the activation energy between the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions is 63.67 kJ/mol.

When liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which of the following types of solid would it form?.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

If liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which type of solid does it form? Brass is made by melting copper and zinc and physically mixing them. As this alloy is cooled, it forms a solid where the copper and zinc are not chemically bonded together.

7nadin3 [17]
The part of the atom that is involved in chemical changes is A. electron. The electrons that are in the most outer shells are called valence electrons which are easily removed or shared to form bonds. Valence electrons are related to the number of valence electrons

Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29

Explanation:

First write the balance eqation of chemical reaction:

2S(s) +3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2SO_3(g)

Remember writing any chemical reaction from its  elemetal form then write the elements in their natural form i.e. how that element exists in the nature here sulphur exists in solid monoatomic form in the nature and oxygen in gaseous diatomic form.

mass of oxygen given=5gram

mole of oxygen=5/32mol=0.16mol

mass of sulpher given=6gram

mole of sulpher=6/32mol=0.19mol

from the above balanced equaion;

2 mole of sulphur reacts with 3 mole Oxygen completely

1 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5 mole Oxygen completely

0.19 mole of sulphur reacts with 1.5\times 0.19 i.e. 0.285 mole Oxygen completely.

but we have 0.16 mole so oxygen will be the limiting reagent and sulpher will be the excess reagent

so product will depend on the limiting reagent

from the balance equation

3 mole of sulpher gives 2 mole SO_3

1 mole of sulpher will give 2/3 mole SO_3

0.16 of sulpher will give 0.12 mole SO_3

mass of SO_3=9.6gram this is theoreical production of SO_3

and

actual production of SO_3 =7.9gram

\%\, yield   \,\, SO_3=\frac{Actual \,yield}{theoretical\, yield}\times 100

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=\frac{7.9}{9.6} \times 100=82.29

\%\, yield\, \, SO_3=82.29
