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.

How is the mass of 1 mole of an element determined? O A. It is equal to the atomic mass times Avogadro's number. O B. It is the
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Avogadro's number is the number of particles in one mole of anything. In this context, it is the number of atoms in one mole of an element. It's easy to find the mass of a single atom using Avogadro's number. Simply divide the relative atomic mass of the element by Avogadro's number to get the answer in grams.

Metals give up electrons to become cation or anion
galina1969 [7]
Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom.  (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

What is a cone of depression
Sav [38]

A cone of depression occurs in an aquifer when groundwater is pumped from a well. In an unconfined aquifer, this is an actual depression of the water levels. In confined aquifers, the cone of depression is a reduction in the pressure head surrounding the pumped well.
