The Michaelis constant for pancreatic lipase is 5 mM. At 60 C, lipase is subject to deactivation with a half-life of 8 min. Fat

hydrolysis is carried out in a well-mixed batch reactor that simulates a top-loading washing machine. The initial fat concentration is 45 gmol m23. At the beginning of the reaction, the rate of hydrolysis is 0.07 mmol l21 s21. How long does it take for the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present?

Explanation:

According to the given data, we will calculate the following.

 Half life of lipase t_{1/2} = 8 min x 60 s/min

                                       = 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction is as follows.

         k_{d} = \frac{0.6932}{480}

                        = 1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}


Initial fat concentration S_{o} = 45 mol/m^{3}

                                                = 45 mmol/L

Rate of hydrolysis V_m_{o} = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration (S) = S_{o} (1 - X)

                                      = 45 (1 - 0.80)

                                      = 9 mol/m^{3}

or,                                  = 9 mmol/L

It is given that K_{m} = 5mmol/L

Therefore, time taken will be calculated as follows.

                    t = -\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            t = -\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]  

             = -\frac{1}{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}ln[1 - \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{0.07 mmol/L/s
}{K_{M} ln (\frac{45 mmol/L
}{9 mmol/L
}) + (45 mmol/L - 9 mmol/L
)]

              = 1642.83 s \times \frac{1 min}{60 sec}

              = 27.38 min

Therefore, we can conclude that time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present is 27.38 min.

how many grams of silver medal could be recovered from a reaction of 50 g silver nitrate and copper metal
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Answer is: mass of copper is 127 grams.

Balanced chemical reaction: Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s).

m(Ag) = 432 g.

n(Ag) = m(Ag) ÷ M(Ag).

n(Ag) = 432 g ÷ 108 g/mol.

n(Ag) = 4 mol.

From chemical reaction: n(Ag) : n(Cu) = 2 : 1.

n(Cu) = 4 mol ÷ 2 = 2 mol.

m(Cu) = n(Cu) · M(Cu).

m(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.5 g/mol.

m(Cu) = 127 g
