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

Which one does Temperature measure
Effectus [21]

Answer:

B. how fast the particles are moving

Explanation:

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of system as result of the thermal - heat energy present in the reaction or a body.

Often times, temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body and this translates to an increase or decrease in the molecular speed.

  • Number of particles in a body is the mass of the body.
  • How tightly packed the particles are corresponds to the density of the body.

2NH3 → N2 + 3H2 If 2.22 moles of ammonia (NH3) decomposes according to the reaction shown, how many moles of hydrogen (H2) are f
Rashid [163]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

According to the mole ratio, using 2NH3 will give you 3H2. Which means in order to find the moles of H2 you would only need to divide 2 and multiply 3 to get the amount of moles of H2 produced.

2Ni(OH) → Ni2O + H2O <br> How many moles of water forms from 4.20 mol of nickel (I) hydroxide?
butalik [34]

Answer:

2.1 moles of water formed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of water formed = ?

Moles of Ni(OH) = 4.20 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ni(OH)    →  Ni₂O + H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of Ni(OH)  with water.

             Ni(OH)           :            H₂O

                2                 :              1

              4.20             :            1/2×4.20 = 2.1 mol

2.1 moles of water formed.
