When ammonium carbonate is heated it decomposes to give ammonia gas, carbon dioxide gas and water. The equation for the decomposition is;
(NH4)2CO3(s) = 2 NH3 (g) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
A glowing splint would extinguish almost immediately because of the presence of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide does not support burning which is the property that makes it used a s a fighter extinguisher.
Answer:
474 nm or 4.74 x 10^2 nm
Explanation:
c = λv
c (speed of light) = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s
λ = ?
v = 6.32 × 1014 Hz = 6.32 × 1014 1/s
2.998 x 10^8 m/s = (λ)(6.32 × 10^14 1/s)
λ = (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) / (6.32 × 10^14 1/s)
λ = 4.74 x 10^-7 m
λ = 4.74 x 10^-7 m x (1 x 10^9 nm/1 m) = 474 nm
Using the Michaelis-Menten equation competitive inhibition, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.
<h3>What is the Ki for the inhibitor?</h3>
The Ki of an inhibitor is known as the inhibition constant.
The inhibition is a competitive inhibition as the Vmax is unchanged but Km changes.
Using the Michaelis-Menten equation for inhibition:
Making Ki subject of the formula:
where:
- Kma is the apparent Km due to inhibitor
- Km is the Km of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction
- [I] is the concentration of the inhibitor
Solving for Ki:
where
[I] = 26.7 μM
Km = 1.0
Kma = (150% × 1 ) + 1 = 2.5
Ki = 26.7 μM/{(2.5/1) - 1)
Ki = 53.4 μM
Therefore, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.
