Answer: Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

2HC2H3O2(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → Mg(C2H2O2)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

The equation above is an example of an acid-base reaction where the acid, aqeous 2HC2H3O2 reacts completely with an appropriate amount of the base, aqueous Mg(OH)2 to produce salt, aqueous Mg(C2H2O2)2 and water, liquid H2O only.

This acid-base reaction is also known as neutralization reaction.

Suppose that a certain biologically important reaction is quite slow at physiological temperature (37 oC) in the absence of a ca

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

30 kJ

Explanation:

Arrhenius equation is given by:

$k=Aexp(-Ea/RT)\\$

Here, k is rate constant, A is Pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy and T is temperature.

taking natural log of both side

ln k = ln A - Ea/RT

In Arrhenius equation, A, R and T are constant.

Therefore,

$ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}$

$Ea_1-Ea_2$ is the lowering in activation energy by enzyme,

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = 37°C + 273.15 = 310 K

$\frac{k_2}{k_1} =1\times 10^5$

$ln 1\times 10^5 =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}\\{Ea_1-Ea_2} = 11.512 \times 8.314 \times 310\\=29670\ J\\=30\ kJ$
