Why did the heat treated enzyme behave differently than the non heated enzyme

1 answer:

3 0

Heat can affect the three-dimensional shape of a protein (called tertiary structure). Enzymes are proteins, and they can only function properly within a certain temperature and pH range. A temperature different than their ideal temperature can make them less efficient or even prevent them from working at all.

Consider the following reaction where K. = 154 at 298 K: 2NO(g) + Brz(9) 2NOBr(g) A reaction mixture was found to contain 2.69x1

bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

$2NO(g) + Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr(g)$

Equilibrium constant of reaction = $K=154$

Concentration of NO = $[NO]=\frac{2.69\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=2.69\times 10^{-2} M$

Concentration of bromine gas = $[Br_2]=\frac{3.85\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=3.85\times 10^{-2} M$

Concentration of NOBr gas = $[Br_2]=\frac{9.56\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=9.56\times 10^{-2} M$

The reaction quotient is given as:

$Q=\frac{[NOBr]^2}{[NO]^2[Br_2]}=\frac{(9.56\times 10^{-2} M)^2}{(2.69\times 10^{-2} M)^2\times 3.85\times 10^{-2} M}$

$Q=328.06$

$Q>K$

The reaction will go in backward direction in order to achieve an equilibrium state.

1. In order to reach equilibrium NOBr (g) must be produced. False

2. In order to reach equilibrium K must decrease. False

3. In order to reach equilibrium NO must be produced. True

4. Q. is less than K . False

5. The reaction is at equilibrium. No further reaction will occur. False

What best describes the collision between ideal gas molecules

Alika [10]

An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

18 An important environmental consideration is the appropriate disposal of cleaning solvents. An environmental waste treatment c

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) Percentage by mass of carbon: 18.3%

Percentage by mass of hydrogen: 0.77%

b) Percentage by mass of chlorine: 80.37%

c) Molecular formula: $C_{2} H Cl_{3}$

Explanation:

Firstly, the mass of carbon must be determined by using a conversion factor:

$0.872g CO _{2} *\frac{12g C}{44g CO_{2} } = 0.238g CO_{2}$

The same process is used to calculate the amount of hydrogen:

$0.089g H_{2}O*\frac{2g H}{18g H_{2}O } = 0.010g H$

The percentage by mass of carbon and hydrogen are calculated as follows:

%C $\frac{0.238g}{1.3g} *100%$ = 18.3%

%H $\frac{0.010g}{1.3g} *100%$ =0.77%

From the precipation data it is possible obtain the amount of chlorine present in the compound:

$1.75 AgCl*\frac{35.45g Cl}{143.45g AgCl}$ = 0.43g AgCl

Let's calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine:

%Cl= $\frac{0.43g}{0.535g} * 100%$ = 80.37%

Assuming that we have 100g of the compound, it is possible to determine the number of moles of each element in the compound:

$18.3g C*\frac{1mol C}{12g C} = 1.52mol C$

$0.77g H*\frac{1mol H}{1g H} = 0.77mol H$

$80.37gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45g Cl} = 2.27mol Cl$

Dividing each of the quantities above by the smallest (0.77mol), the subscripts in a tentative formula would be

$C=\frac{1.52}{0.77} = 1.97$ ≈ 2

$H = \frac{0.77}{0.77} = 1$

$Cl =\frac{2.27}{0.77}=2.94$ ≈3

The empirical formula for the compound is:

$C_{2} H Cl_{3}$

The mass of this empirical formula is:

mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl= 24g +1+ 106.35 =131.35g

This mass matches with the molar mass, which means that the supscript in the molecular formula are the same of the empirical one.

If 0.089 grams of KI is dissolved in 500g of H2O, what is the concentration of the resulting solution in parts per million?

frez [133]

Answer:

The concentration of the resulting solution in parts per million is 177.97

Explanation:

Parts per million (ppm), is a unit of measure for concentration that refers to the number of units of the substance per million units of the set.

The concentration in parts per million expressed in mass / mass is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute (ms) by the mass of the solution (md, sum of the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent), both expressed in the same unit and multiplied by 10⁶ (1 million).

$ppm=\frac{ms}{md} *10^{6}$

So, being:

ms: 0.089 grams of KI

md: 0.089 grams of KI + 500 grams of H₂O= 500.089 grams

Replacing:

$ppm=\frac{0.089 grams}{500.089 grams}*10^{6}$

ppm= 177.97

<u><em>The concentration of the resulting solution in parts per million is 177.97</em></u>
