The drug molecules bind the protein in a 1:1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. The protein concentration in aqueous solution

at 25 ∘C is 1.60×10−6 M . Drug A is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00×10−6M. Drug B is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00×10−6M. At equilibrium, the drug A-protein solution has an A-protein complex concentration of 1.00×10−6M, and the drug B solution has a B-protein complex concentration of 1.40×10−6M.a. Calculate the Kc value for the A-protein binding reaction.b. Calculate the Kc value for the B-protein binding reaction.c.

Answer:

a. kc = 1,67x10⁶

b. kc = 1,17x10⁷

c. Drug B is the better choice.

Explanation:

The bind of drug-protein is described as:

Protein + Drug ⇄ Drug-protein

Where kc is:

kc = [Drug-protein] / [Protein] [Drug] <em>(1)</em>

a. For A, the equilibrium concentration of each specie is:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug-protein]: x = <em>1,00x10⁻⁶M </em>

<em>-Where x is reaction coordinate-</em>

Thus:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - 1,00x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,60x10⁻⁶M</em>

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - 1,00x10⁻⁶M = <em>1,00x10⁻⁶M</em>

Replacing in (1):

kc = [1,00x10⁻⁶] / [1,00x10⁻⁶] [0,60x10⁻⁶]

<em>kc = 1,67x10⁶</em>

<em />

b. For B:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - x

[Drug-protein]: x = <em>1,40x10⁻⁶M </em>

<em>-Where x is reaction coordinate-</em>

Thus:

[Protein]: 1,60x10⁻⁶M - 1,40x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,20x10⁻⁶M</em>

[Drug]: 2,00x10⁻⁶M - 1,40x10⁻⁶M = <em>0,60x10⁻⁶M</em>

Replacing in (1):

kc = [1,40x10⁻⁶] / [0,20x10⁻⁶] [0,60x10⁻⁶]

<em>kc = 1,17x10⁷</em>

<em />

c. The drug with the bigger kc will be the more effective because will be the drug that binds more strongly with the protein. Thus, <em>drug B is the better choice.</em>

I hope it helps!

How many grams of ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the synthesis of excess hydrogen gas (H2) and 253.8 grams of nitrogen gas (N2
kogti [31]

Answer:

308.2 g of NH₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3H₂ + N₂ —> 2NH₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of N₂ that reacted and the mass of NH₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of N₂ = 2 × 14 = 28 g/mol

Mass of N₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 28 = 28 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

Mass of NH₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 17 = 34 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of NH₃ produced by the reaction of 253.8 g of N₂. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

28 g of N₂ reacted to produce 34 g of NH₃.

Therefore, 253.8 g of N₂ will react to produce = (253.8 × 34)/28 = 308.2 g of NH₃.

Thus, 308.2 g of NH₃ were obtained from the reaction.

Balance each reaction and write its reaction quotient, Qc:(b) POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)
Komok [63]

When we balance the given equation

      POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

We will get

      2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Solution:

Balancing the given equation

      POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Balancing the number of O

      2POCl₃(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

Balancing the number of P and Cl

      2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

We get the balanced equation

      2POCl₃(g) ⇄ 2PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)

The reaction quotient will be

     Qc = [product] / [reactant]

     Qc ​= [PCl₃(g) + O₂(g)] / [POCl₃(g) ]
