The rule used here is that the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms a molecule is zero.

Al2O32× ( oxidation number of Al)+3× ( Oxidation number of O ) = 0

2× ( Oxidation number of Al) +3(−2)=0

2× ( oxidation number of Al) +6

∴ Oxidation number of Al =+3

The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 grams/mole. If you had a 1.0 molar solution (1.0 M), you would have to put 58.44 g of salt

Rzqust [24]

Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. To calculate the moles of NaCl in 1.0 M of solution, we simply multiply the volume given of the solution.

moles NaCl = 1.0 M (0.100 L ) = 0.10 mol NaCl --------> OPTION B

Will NaBr, CO2, Ca3(PO4), or KZS raise a liquid's boiling point the most when

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$K_2S$

Explanation:

According to the boiling point elevation law described by the equation $\Delta T_b = iK_bb$ , the increase in boiling point is directly proportional to the van 't Hoff factor.

The van 't Hoff factor for nonelectrolytes is 1, while for ionic substances, it is equal to the number of moles of ions produced when 1 mole of salt dissolves.

$NaBr$ would produce 2 moles of ions per 1 mole of dissolved substance, sodium and bromide ions.

$Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ is insoluble in water, so it would barely dissociate and wouldn't practically change the boiling point.

$K_2S$ would dissociate into 3 moles of ions per 1 mole of substance, two potassium cations and one sulfide anion.

$CO_2$ is a gas, it would form some amount of carbonic acid when dissolved, however, carbonic acid is molecular and would yield i value of i = 1.

Therefore, potassium sulfide would raise a liquid's boiling point the most if all concentrations are equal.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

[S]<<KM | [S]=KM | [S]>>KM | Not true

____________ | Half of the active | Reaction rate is | Increasing

$[E_{free}]$ is about | sites are filled of | independent of | $[E_{Total}]$ will

equal to $[E_{total}]$ . | | [S] | lower KM

_____________________________________________|____________

[ES] is much | | Almost all active

lower than | | sites are filled

$[E_{free}]$ | |

Explanation:

Generally the combined enzyme $[ES]$ is mathematically represented as

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M + [S]}----(1)$

for Michaelis-Menten equation

Where $[S]$ is the substrate concentration and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant

Considering the statement $[S] < < K_M$

Looking at the equation $[S]$ is denominator so it can be ignored(it is far too small compared to $K_M$ ) hence the above equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{K_M}$

Since $[S]$ is less than $K_M$ it means that $\frac{[S]}{K_M} < < 1$

so it means that $[ES] < < [E_{total}]$

What this means is that the number of combined enzymes $[ES]$ i.e the number of occupied site is very small compared to the the total sites $[E_{total}]$ i.e the total enzymes concentration which means that the free sites [ $E_{free}]$ i.e the concentration of free enzymes is almost equal to $[E_{total}]$

Considering the second statement

$[S] = K_M$

So this means that equation one would now become

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}][S]}{2[S]} = \frac{[E_{total}]}{2}$

So this means that half of the active sites that is the total enzyme concentration are filled with S

Considering the Third Statement

$[S] >>K_M$

In this case the $K_M$ in the denominator of equation 1 would be neglected and the equation becomes

$[ES] = \frac{[E_{total}] [S]}{[S]} = [E_{total}]$

This means that almost all the sites are occupied with substrate

The rate of this reaction is mathematically defined as

$v =\frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_M [S]}$

Where v is the rate of the reaction(also know as the velocity of the reaction at a given time t) and $V_{max}$ is he maximum velocity of the reaction

In this case also the $K_M$ at the denominator would be neglected as a result of the statement hence the equation becomes

$v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{[S]} = V_{max}$

So it means that the reaction does not depend on the concentration of substrate [S]

For the final statement(Not True ) it would match with condition that states that increasing $[E_{total}]$ will lower $K_M$

This is because $K_M$ does not depend on enzyme concentration it is a property of a enzyme
