Enzyme reaction and deactivation Lipase is being investigated as an additive to laundry detergent for removal of stains from fab

ric. The general reaction is: fats- fatty acids 1 glycerol 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?

Answer:

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]

Explanation:given values

Half life of lipase t_1/2 = 8 min x 60s/min = 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction

k_d = 0.6932/480 = 1.44 x 10^-3 s-1

Initial fat concentration S_0 = 45 mol/m3 = 45 mmol/L

rate of hydrolysis Vm0 = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration S = S_0(1-X) = 45 (1-0.80) = 9 mol/m3

K_m = 5mmol/L

time take is given by

t= -\frac{1}{K_d}ln[1-\frac{K_d}{V_m_0}(k_mln\frac{s_0}{s}+(s_0-s))]

all values are given and putting these value we get

t=1642.83 secs

which is equal to

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

Answer:

b. "One thing for sure is that they were UFOs and they had to be piloted by some type of intelligent life."

Explanation:

Well...generally the above observation may seem wrong but it isn't. That's because according to scientific point of view, if he saw a real UFO flying out in the air then it is logically possible that some being of an advance civilization must be piloting that craft. If the observation is correct then it can't just be a coincidence at all.
