One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxid

e and water with bicarbonate ion and protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body could not rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated by cell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration (release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second. Which components of this description correspond to the terms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?

Answer:

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

Explanation:

An enzyme is used by a living organism as a catalyst to perform a specific biochemical reaction.

A substrate is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts.

Turnover number refers to the number of substrate molecules transformed by a single enzyme molecule per minute. Here, the enzyme is the rate-limiting factor.

Here,

Enzyme is carbonic anhydrase

Substrate is CO_2

Turnover number is 10^{7}

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NO IDEA “Heat (thermal) energy is being applied to the substance whenever the Bunsen Burner is on. Before
svetlana [45]

TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.

Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!

However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.

There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.

Hope this helps!

snow_lady [41]

The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture of gases is called its <u>partial </u>pressure this pressure is proportional to the <u>mole</u> fraction of the gas in the mixture

Pressure is defined as the force of all the gas particle of wall collisions divided by the area of the wall

The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure and assuming we have a mixture of ideal gases and we can use the ideal gas law to solve problems involving gases in a mixture and the ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components

Know more about pressure

Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
zavuch27 [327]
The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.

What volume will 20.0g of Argon occupy at STP?
Yuki888 [10]
Molar mass Argon = 39.948 g/mol

1 mol ------ 39.948 g
  mol ----- 20.0 g 

mol = 20.0 * 1 / 39.948

= 0.5006 moles

1 mol --------------------- 22.4 L ( at STP )
0.5006 moles ------------- L 

L = 0.5006 * 22.4

= 11.21 L

hope this helps!
