Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
Base: NaOH
Vb = 15.00 ml = 15.00 / 1,000 liter
Mb = ?
Acid: H₂SO₄
Va = 17.88 ml = 17.88 / 1,000 liter
Ma = 0.1053
<u>2) Chemical reaction:</u>
The <em>titration</em> is an acid-base (neutralization) reaction to yield a salt and water:
- Acid + Base → Salt + Water
- H₂SO₄ (aq) + NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)
<u>3) Balanced chemical equation:</u>
- H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)
Placing coefficient 2 in front of NaOH and H₂O balances the equation
<u>4) Stoichiometric mole ratio:</u>
The coefficients of the balanced chemical equation show that 1 mole of H₂SO₄ react with 2 moles of NaOH. Hence, the mole ratio is:
- 1 mole H₂SO₄ : 2 mole NaOH
<u>5) Calculations:</u>
a) Molarity formula: M = n / V (in liter)
⇒ n = M × V
b) Nunber of moles of acid:
- nₐ = Ma × Va = 0.1053 (17.88 / 1,000)
c) Number of moles of base, nb:
- nb = Mb × Vb = Mb × (15.00 / 1,000)
d) At equivalence point number of moles of acid = number of moles of base
- 0.1053 × (17.88 / 1,000) = Mb × (15.00 / 1,000)
- Mb = 0.1053 × 17.88 / 15.00 = 0.1255 mole/liter = 0.1255 M
<span>Enzymes have three main characteristics. First, they increase the rate of a natural chemical reaction. Secondly, they typically only react with one specific substrate or reactant, and thirdly, enzyme activity is regulated and controlled within the cell through several different means, including regulation by inhibitors and activators. It is possible to group enzymes into different categories, including oxidases, transferases, hydrolases, lyaes, isomerases and ligases. In naming enzymes, the "-ase" suffix is often appended to the name of the substrate molecule upon which which the enzyme reacts. For example, the enzyme sucrase catalyzes the transformation of the sugar sucrose in to glucose and fructose. In this case, the "sucr-" suffix represents the molecule upon which the sucrase enzyme reacts. Not all enzymes are named according to this convention.</span>
