Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

Ni2+(aq) + 6 NH3(aq) ⇌ Ni(NH3)6 2+(aq)
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

a) ΔGº= -49,9 KJ/mol = - 50 KJ/mol

b) The reaction  goes to the right to formation of products

c) ΔG= 84,42 KJ/mol. The direction is to reactive, to the left

Explanation:

a) ΔGº= - RTLnKf

You need to convert Cº to K. 25ºC=298K

Then, ΔGº= - 3,814 J/molK * 298K* Ln(5.6 *10^8)= - 49906 J/mol = -49,9 KJ/mol = - 50 KJ/mol

b) The ΔGº < 0, that means the direct reaction is spontaneous when te reactive and products are in standard state. In other words the reaction goes to the right, to formation of products

c) The general ecuation for chemical reaction is aA + bB → cD + dD. Thus

ΔG=ΔGº + RTLn (([C]^c*[D]^d)/[A]^a*[B]^b)

In this case,

ΔG=ΔGº + RTLn ([Ni(NH3)62+] / [Ni2+]*[NH3]^6 )= 84417 J/mol =84,42 KJ/mol

ΔG >0 means the reaction isn't spontaneous in the direction of the products. Therefore the direction is to reactive, to the left
