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.

calculate atomic weight of silver which has two isotopes with the following properties : silver-107 (106.91 amu, 51.84% natural
Julli [10]

Answer: The atomic weight of silver is 107.87 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope silver-107  = 106.91 amu

% abundance of isotope silver -107 = 51.84% = \frac{51.84}{100}=0.5184

Mass of isotope silver-109 = 108.90 amu

% abundance of isotope silver-109  = 48.16% = \frac{48.16}{100}=0.4816

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(106.91\times 0.5184)+(108.90\times 0.4816)]

A=107.87amu

Thus atomic weight of silver is 107.87 amu

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 1.29E-2 at 600 K. COCl2(g) CO(g) Cl2(g) Calculate the equilibrium co
RSB [31]

Answer:

At Equilibrium

[COCl₂] = 0.226 M

[CO] = 0.054 M

[Cl₂] = 0.054 M

Explanation:

Given that;

equilibrium constant Kc = 1.29 × 10⁻² at 600k

the equilibrium concentrations of reactant and products = ?

when 0.280 moles of COCl2(g) are introduced into a 1.00 L vessel at 600 K. [COCl²]

Concentration of  COCl₂ = 0.280 / 1.00 = 0.280 M

COCl₂(g) ---------->  CO(g)   +  Cl₂(g)

0.280                      0                0  ------------ Initial

-x                             x                 x

(0.280 - x)               x                 x   ----------- equilibrium

we know that; solid does not take part in equilibrium constant expression

so

KC = [CO][Cl₂] / COCl₂

we substitute

1.29 × 10⁻² = x² / (0.280 - x)

0.0129 (0.280 - x) = x²

x² = 0.003612 - 0.0129x

x² + 0.0129x - 0.003612 = 0

x = -b±√(b² - 4ac) / 2a

we substitute

x = [-(0.0129)±√((0.0129)² - 4×1×(-0.003612))] / [2 × 1 ]

x = [-0.0129 ± √( 0.00017 + 0.01445)] / 2

x = [-0.0129 ± 0.1209] / 2

Acceptable value of x =[ -0.0129 + 0.1209] / 2

x = 0.108 / 2

x = 0.054

At equilibrium

[COCl₂] = (0.280 - x) = 0.280 - 0.054 = 0.226 M

[CO] = 0.054 M

[Cl₂] = 0.054 M

What indicates that a chemical change has occurred?
ki77a [65]
Many things could indicate that a chemical change has occurred. The release of a gas, or bubbling, etc. Just be careful not to mix it up with physical changes. A chemical change means that the chemical structure is different. You can reverse a physical change, but you cannot reverse a chemical reaction.
