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 compound trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibr
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The K_b expression for the weak base equilibrium is:

K_b=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}

Explanation:

(CH_3)_3N(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightlefharpoons (CH_3)_3NH^++OH^-(aq)

The expression of the equilibrium constant of base K_c can be given as:

K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N][H_2O]}

]K_b=K_c\times [H_2O]=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}

As we know, water is pure solvent, we can put [H_2O]=1

K_b=K_c\times 1=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}

So, the the K_b expression for the weak base equilibrium  is:

K_b=\frac{[(CH_3)_3NH^+][OH^-]}{[(CH_3)_3N]}

The boiling point of an aqueous solution is 101.02 °C. What is the freezing point?
kompoz [17]
Colligative properties calculations are used for this type of problem. Calculations are as follows:

ΔT(boiling point) = 101.02 °C - 100.0 °C= 1.02 °C
<span>ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)m
</span>m =  1.02 °C / 0.512 °C kg / mol
<span>m = 1.99 mol / kg

</span><span>ΔT(freezing point)  = (Kf)m
</span>ΔT(freezing point)  = 1.86 °C kg / mol (<span>1.99 mol / kg)
</span>ΔT(freezing point)  = 3.70 <span>°C
</span>Tf - T = 3.70 <span>°C
T = -3.70 </span><span>°C</span>

Can someone please help me with this!!!<br><br> ( I chose to stop using water bottles )
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Flushing goldfish down the toliet

Explanation:

This would help the planet because goldfish are a very evasive species that has been harming our natural enviroments lakes and rivers. Ever since people have been flushing them down the toliet including me since I've had over six they have been finding their ways into our ecosytem and damaging nature. You may think that goldfish are a cute and small pet species to keep in a fish tank but the fish can grow in the right conditons up to 16.1 inches long and can top over five pounds in the wild. Unfortunately most goldfish never thrive like this in fish tanks due to nasty inadequate housing and feeding conditions. And most do not live up to their expected life span in the wild of 15 to even thirty years due to their living conditons. Did you know, goldfish will actually jump out of their tank in a final desperate search for better living conditions and enviroment to live in to meet their physiological needs. But lets get back to the problem so don't be to quick to feel sorry for them, when people flush them down the toliet they repopulate somehow in our lakes and rivers. Even through, it is not clear how they got there, which the suspected culprit is the sewer system. They threaten the natural enviroment tho because they are obnivores and they eat a mixtures of plants and animal specimen. You are probrably thinking why is this a problem, well its because goldfish are particullary greedy eaters and will eat, eat, and feast on the natural envrioment they infestated. And the waste they leave on the enviroment will promote the growth of algae which could cause an extent of enviromental damage. Of course goldfish are not impacted by this algae growth for adaptation reasons which shield them. This is not the main problem tho the main problem of this is that female goldfish can produce up to 1000 eggs at a time. And to make things worse unlike other fish species where the parents of the eggs leave the eggs for predaetors and well the elements of nature the goldfish instead guard their nest foriciously from predaetors that eat fish eggs in which effectively shields the populations young from danger. And to just add to the chaos the goldfish sadly have no real natural predaetor in the unitedstates which just causes more problems since they have no one killing them. And did I mention that they could live up to a real possibility of thirty years. And that they are forocious eaters that could eat a variety of types of foods. All of these facts in the end lead to two things first stop flushing your pet goldfish down the toliet and secondly now you know how golfish impact our planet.

Give brainliest please it took me over thirty minutes of thinking!

Calculate the mass of 2.00 X 1020 molecules of SO3.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

0.027g

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

From the above, it means that 1mole of SO3 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1mole of SO3 = 32 + (16x3) = 32 + 48 = 80g

If 1 mole (80g) of SO3 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Then Xg of SO3 will contain 2x10^20 molecules i.e

Xg of SO3 = (80x2x10^20)/6.02x10^23 = 0.027g

The valency of both Oxygen and magnesium is 2 give reason <br><br>​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

<em>the <u>valency of an element</u> is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.</em>

[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]

  • The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.

  • whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Hence they both have the same valence.

One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.
