Part A: You are given a beaker containing a solution of an enzyme that hydrolyzes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while it generate

s a lot of heat. You add a substantial amount of the sodium salt of ATP, and you measure the temperature of the beaker, and determine that nothing is happening. The enzyme is not performing the reaction. What is a reasonable chemical to add to the solution to get the enzyme to proceed with the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate?
Sulfur oxide,
Iron chloride,
magnesium chloride,
or add more sodium ATP.
Part B: You are investigating the reduction of oxygen that is performed by cytochrome c oxidase. As you start the reaction in a slightly acidic aqueous buffer with 2 mM Cu2SO4 and bubbling oxygen into the buffer. As the reaction proceeds, the solution slowly turns blue, what is happening?
a) Ozone is formed. This causes the solution to turn blue.
b) The copper is getting oxidized from Cu+ to Cu2+ and turns blue.
c) The cytochrome c oxidase protein is decomposing down to a blue product.
d) The pH of the solution is changing. Cu2SO4 is a pH indicator that turns blue when a solution becomes basic.
Part C: In the previous reaction, if you add a small amount of cyanide before adding the
Cu2SO4, the solution does not turn blue. What is a reasonable explanation?
a) The cyanide ion displaces the copper ions in the cytochrome c oxidase and stops the redox reaction.
b) The cyanide ion keeps the pH of the solution high. So the Cu2SO4 pH indicator does not show the decrease in pH.
c) The cyanide ion prevents the formation of ozone.

Answer:

1) magnesium chloride

2) b) The copper is getting oxidized from Cu+ to Cu2+ and turns blue.

Explanation:

The work published by David N. Frick, Sukalyani Banik, and Ryan S. Rypma in J Mol Biol. 2007 Jan 26; 365(4): 1017–1032 clearly shows that divalent metal ions of group 2 such as Mg^2+ play an important role in ATP hydrolysis. Addition of EDTA decreased the rate of hydrolysis of ATP (due to sequestration of the divalent ion of group 2) indicating an active participation of divalent ions in the process.

2) The copper I ion is colourless because it is a d^10 specie. However, when it is oxidized to Cu^2+, a blue colour appears in the solution.

The equation for one of the reactions in the process of turning iron ore into the metal is
Leona [35]

Answer:

2100g or 2.1kg

Explanation:

Based on the equation given,

One mole of Fe2O3 gives two moles of Fe

Molar mass for Fe2O3 is 160g/mol

Molar mass for two Fe is 112g/mol

Convert 3kg to gram

3×1000=3000grams

160g of Fe2O3-112 g of Fe

3000g of Fe2O3-xg of Fe

Xg=3000×112/160

Xg=2100g

To convert to kg

2100/1000=2.1kg

Mass of Fe is 2.1kg

The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.

Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.

Consider the reaction below.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

  • <u>First choice: 0.042</u>

Explanation:

Given decomposition reaction:

  • 1PCl₅ (g) ⇄ 1PCl₃ + 1Cl₂(g)

Equilibrium constant:

  • K_{eq}=\frac{[PCl_3]^1[Cl_2]^1}{[PCl_5]^1}

Stoichiometric coefficients and powers equal to 1 are not usually shown as they are understood, but I included them in order to shwow you how they intervene in the equilibrium expressions: each concentration is raised to a power equal to the respective stoichiometric coefficient in the equilibrium equation.

So, your calculations are:

K_{eq}=\frac{(0.020M)(0.020M)}{0.0095M}=0.042M
