Answer:
48.075g(or 48g in correct sig figs)***
Explanation:
=48.075g
*64.1g is the mass of SO2 which is calculated by simply taking the mass of sulfur and oxygen(but doubling it since there are two oxygens) and adding them together(32.1+2x16.0)
**btw the mol units cancel because of dimensional analysis in case anyone was wondering why
***if your teacher is like mine and specifically wants your answer in correct sig figs, use the answer in parentheses as the original problem only has 2 sig figs
Answer:
The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme
Explanation:
From the given information:
The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol.
In this same concentration for the glucose and fructose; the reaction rate can be calculated by the rate factor which can be illustrated from the Arrhenius equation;
Rate factor in the absence of catalyst:
Rate factor in the presence of catalyst:
Assuming the catalyzed reaction and the uncatalyzed reaction are taking place at the same temperature :
Then;
the ratio of the rate factors can be expressed as:
Thus;
Let say the assumed temperature = 25° C
= (25+ 273)K
= 298 K
Then ;
The barrier has to be 34.23 kJ/mol lower when the sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme
