Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?

1 answer:

5 0

Your answer is B, conservation of mass

Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.

Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.

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

what criteria are likely to dictate certain pairs of elements to undergo ionic bonding and others covalent bonding?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

If one element is a metal and the other element is a non metal

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals. The nonmetal atom receives electron(s) from a metal atom to form an ionic substance. This means that ionic substances are basically an ion pair.

Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two nonmetals. These elements share electrons with each other in order to form the compound.

1. A student collected the following data for a fixed volume of gas: Temperature (⁰C) Pressure (mm of Hg) 10 726 20 750 40 800 7

zimovet [89]

Answer is: the missing pressure is 1088.66 mmHg.

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.

p₁ = 960 mmHg; pressure of the gas.

T₁ = 100°C + 273.15.

T₁ = 373.15 K; temperature of the gas.

T₂ = 150°C + 273.15.

T₂ = 423.15 K.

p₂ = p₁T₂/T₁.

p₂ = 960 mmHg · 423.15 K / 373.15 K.

p₂ = 1088.66 mmHg.
