The lock-and-key mechanism refers to

Chemistry

miskamm [114]4 years ago

Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

valina [46]

Answer:

Major product ethoxide ion

Explanation:

  • Sodium hydride acts as a strong base towards ethanol.
  • Hydride ion abstracts one proton from -OH group in ethanol to produce sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.
  • It is an example of acid-base reaction where sodium hydride acts as a base and ethanol acts as an acid
  • Structure of major organic product i.e. ethoxide ion has been shown below.

How to make 100 ml of 0.001 mM solution with 0.0405mM solution?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Measure 2.47 mL of the stock solution (i.e 0.0405 mM) and dilute it to the 100 mL mark with water

Explanation:

To make 100 mL of 0.001 mM solution from 0.0405mM solution, we need to determine the volume of 0.0405mM solution needed. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of stock (M₁) = 0.0405 mM

Volume of diluted (V₂) = 100 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 0.001 mM

Volume of stock solution needed (V₁) =?

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

0.0405 × V₁ = 0.001 × 100

0.0405 × V₁ = 0.1

Divide both side by 0.0405

V₁ = 0.1 / 0.0405

V₁ = 2.47 mL

Therefore, to make 100 mL of 0.001 mM solution from 0.0405mM solution, measure 2.47 mL of the stock solution (i.e 0.0405 mM) and dilute it to the 100 mL mark with water.

K2CO3 = K2O +
never [62]

Answer:

K2CO3 = K2O + CO2

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the number of atoms on the left needs to be balanced with the number of atoms on the right, and there has to be the same number of the same *type* of atom on both sides as well.
On the left:
2 K
1 C
3 O
and on the right,
2 K
1 O

On the right, there are a few atoms missing, specifically, 1 C and 2 O.
The missing atoms then should be added to the side missing the atoms, preferably in a stable molecule. Luckily, CO2 contains exactly 1 C, and 2 O s, and is quite stable. So, a "CO2" has to be added on the left
