Answer:

  1. What is the AGⓇ of this reaction? 0.
  2. Which will be favoured - the forward reaction, the reverse reaction, or neither? Neither.
  3. What effect does the presence of the enzyme aspartate transaminase have on the Key value when compared with its value in the absence of enzyme? It does not affect the value of Keq.
  4. If one of the products of reaction 1, oxaloacetate, is removed by converting it to citrate as follows: Reaction 2: oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA citrate + COASH will the key for Reaction l be changed? No, the Keq does not change.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the delta G of a reaction given the K, we use the following equation:

ΔG°= -RT ln K.

Which gives us 0 when K is 1.

2.None of the reactions is favoured. Given that the K equals 1, the system will try to keep the concentration of both products and reagents the same.

3. A catalyst is a substance that, when added, provides a different and faster mechanism through which a reaction takes place. This only means that the speed at which the equilibrium is attained is reduced, but the enzyme does nothing to alter the difference in energy (ΔG°) of the start and end points of the reaction, which ultimately gives us the value of Keq.

4. The addition of a side reaction does not change the value of Keq for the main reaction. They are both separate ways of making oxaloacetate disappear. While the Keq does not change, keep in mind that the end concentrations will not be the same, for any set of starting concentrations of your substances.

How did Democritus contribute to the development of the atom?
matrenka [14]

Democritus developed the atomic model. He theorized that atoms were specific to the material which they composed. He also believed that the atoms different in size and shape, were in constant motion in a void, collided with each other; and during these collisions, could stick together.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.

A 35.0 ml sample of 0.225 m hbr was titrated with 42.3 ml of koh. What is the concentration of the koh?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M

Explanation:

First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.

This is given as;

KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)

From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.

We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;

\frac{CaVa}{CbVb}  = \frac{na}{nb}

where;

Ca = Concentration of acid

Va = Volume of acid

Cb = Concentration of base

Vb = Volume of base

na = Number of moles of acid

nb = Number of moles of base

KOH is the base and HBr is acid.

Hence;

Ca = 0.225

Va = 35

Cb = ?

Vb = 42.3

na = 1

nb = 1

Making Cb subject of formular we have;

Cb = \frac{CaVaNb}{VbNa}

Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)

Cb = 0.186 M

Why is the formation of water a synthesis reaction?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.
