The lock-and-key mechanism refers to

Chemistry

miskamm [114]3 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.

Enter your answer in the provided box. Calculate the number of moles of CrCl, that could be produced from 49.4 g Cr202 according
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.4694 moles of CrCl₃

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

Cr₂O₃(s) + 3CCl₄(l) → 2CrCl₃(s) + 3COCl₂(aq)

The stoichiometry of the equation is how much moles of the substances must react to form the products, and it's represented by the coefficients of the balanced equation. So, 1 mol of Cr₂O₃ must react with 3 moles of CCl₄ to form 2 moles of CrCl₃ and 3 moles of COCl₂.

The stoichiometry calculus must be on a moles basis. The compounds of interest are Cr₂O₃ and CrCl₃. The molar masses of the elements are:

MCr = 52 g/mol

MCl = 35.5 g/mol

MO = 16 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the Cr₂O₃ is = 2x52 + 3x35.5 = 210.5 g/mol.

The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:

n = 49.4/210.5 = 0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃.

For the stoichiometry:

1 mol of Cr₂O₃ ------------------- 2 moles of CrCl₃

0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃----------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

x = 0.4694 moles of CrCl₃

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

2 CrO42- + 3N2O + 10 H+ -----> 2Cr3+ + 6NO + 5H2O

Explanation:

2 CrO42- + 3N2O + 10 H+ -----> 2Cr3+ + 6NO + 5H2O

Oxidizing agent: -----------------------------> CrO42-

Reducing agent: ----------------------------> N2O

explanation:

in CrO4-2 oxdiation state of Cr = +6

in Cr+3 oxidation state = +3

+6 oxidation state changed from +3 it is reduction .

so CrO4-2 is oxidizing agent

atomatically

N2O should be reducing agent
