Hexokinase iv has a km value that is substantially higher than the km for other hexokinases. what is the significance of this fa

grin007 [14]3 years ago

The Km is the MIchealis-Menten constant and this represents the affinity of the enzyme to its substrate. The higher the value for Km, the higher is the affinity of the enzyme to a substrate and the greater is the rate of reaction. Hexokinase IV has a higher Km than other hexokinases because it has a higher affinity to hexose substrates.

What is the half-life of a pharmaceutical if the initial dose is 500 mg and only 31 mg remains after 6 hours?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{b. 1.5 h}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the rate constant

The integrated rate law for first order decay is

\ln \left (\dfrac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}\right ) = kt

where

A₀ and A_t are the amounts at t = 0 and t

k is the rate constant

\begin{array}{rcl}\ln \left (\dfrac{500}{31}\right) & = & k \times 6\\\\\ln 16.1 & = & 6k\\2.78& =& 6k\\k & = & \dfrac{2.78}{6}\\\\& = & 0.463 \text{ h}^{-1}\\\end{array}

2. Calculate the half-life

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{\ln2}{k} = \dfrac{\ln2}{\text{0.463  h}^{-1}} = \textbf{1.5 h}\\\\ \text{The half-life is $\large \boxed{\textbf{1.5 h}}$}

When a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes this type of ion.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

When these atoms gain electrons, they acquire a negative charge because they now possess more electrons than protons. Negatively charged ions are called anions. Most nonmetals become anions when they make ionic compounds. A neutral chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell.

A chemist dissolves 484 .mg of pure perchloric acid in enough water to make up 240.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solut
sdas [7]

Answer:

1.70

Explanation:

The molar mass of perchloric acid is 100.46 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 484 mg (0.484 g) are:

0.484 g × (1 mol/100.46 g) = 4.82 × 10⁻³ mol

4.82 × 10⁻³ moles are dissolved in 240 mL (0.240 L) of solution. The molar concentration of perchloric acid is:

4.82 × 10⁻³ mol/0.240 L = 0.0201 M

Perchloric acid is a strong monoprotic acid, that is, it dissociates completely, so [H⁺] = 0.0201 M.

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.0201 = 1.70

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The law of constant composition says that the composition of a homogeneous mixture is always the same

Explanation:

The law of constant composition that is also known as Proust's Law says that when two substances react with each other, to form a compound they will always do in a constant weight ratio, that is, the ratio of the masses between two substances that form a compound, must be proportional.

What is a common property of metals?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

B) conducts electricity

Explanation:

Metals are conductors, literally meaning they conduct electricity.

One metal is liquid at room temp (there might be one more but I only know of mercury).

The reactivity depends on the placement in the periodic table.

If it conducts electricity, it can't be an insulator.
