Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have an enzyme, penicillinase, that catalyzes the decomposition of the antibiotic. The molecular m

ass of penicillinase is 31200 g/mol. The turnover number of the enzyme at 28 °C is 2.00 × 103 s–1. If 4.10 μg of penicillinase catalyzes the destruction of 2.83 mg of amoxicillin, an antibiotic with a molecular mass of 364 g/mol, in 29.6 seconds at 28 °C, how many active sites does the enzyme have? Assume that the enzyme is fully saturated under the conditions described above.

Answer:

The number of  active sites enzyme have is 1.

Explanation:

Mass of penicillinase = 4.10 μg =4.10\times 10^{-6} g

1 g = 1000000 μg

The turnover number of the enzyme at 28 °C = 2.00\times 10^3 s^{-1}

Moles of penicillinase =

\frac{4.10\times 10^{-6} g}{31200 g/mol}=1.31410\times 10^{-10} mol

Mass of antiboitic-amoxicillin =2.83 mg =2.83\times 10^{-3} g

Moles of amoxicillin =

\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3} g}{364 g/mol}=7.7747\times 10^{-6} mol

Moles of reactant which are converted into product per second:

1.31410\times 10^{-10} mol\times 2.00\times 10^3 s^{-1}

=2.6282\times 10^{-7} mol/s

Moles of product converted in 29.6 seconds:

2.6282\times 10^{-7} mol/s\times 29.6 s=7.779472\times 10^{-6} mol

Number of sites:

=\frac{\text{moles of product}}{\text{moles of reactant}}

=\frac{7.779472\times 10^{-6} mol}{7.7747\times 10^{-6} mol}=1.00

From the given elements Na, P , Ca ,Br which one has highest first ionization energy , ,smallest atomic size , most metallic cha
madam [21]

Answer:

highest first ionization energy - Br

smallest atomic size - Br

most metallic character - Na

Explanation:

Ionization energy of Br is higher than P because higher zeff value

Sodium is more metallic than calcium because it is able to loose electron more readily as compared to calcium because of higher electro positivity.

Atomic radius of Br is the smallest as its atomic radius is 114, P (115), Ca (197), Na (186)

Given the reaction: cu(s) + 4hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) + 2no3(g) + 2h2o(l )as the reaction occurs, what happens to copper?
katrin [286]
From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)

Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.
