Explanation:
Specific activity of an enzyme is defined as a measure of the rate of reaction between enzyme and substrate.
In the study of enzyme kinetics, specific activity is particularly regarded to be the amount of substrate converted by the enzyme per milligram of protein per unit of time. It is thus a reliable measure of enzyme activity per milligram of total protein.
On the other hand, the turnover number is defined as a measure of the number of conversions achieved by a substrate molecule in one second at a particular active site depending on the specific enzyme concentration.
Since specific activityof the enzyme is the ratio of the enzyme activity to enzyme concentration, then specific activity can be used as a measurement of enzyme purity.

First, determine the molar masses of Al(C6H5)3 and C6H6. Start by looking up the atomic weights of the involved elements.
Atomic weight aluminum = 26.981539
Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Molar mass Al(C6H5)3 = 26.981539 + 18 * 12.0107 + 15 * 1.00794 = 258.293239 g/mol
Molar mass C6H6 = 6 * 12.0107 + 6 * 1.00794 = 78.11184 g/mol
Now determine how many moles of C6H6 was produced
Moles C6H6 = 0.951 g / 78.11184 g/mol = 0.012174851 mol
Looking at the balanced equation, it indicates that 1 mole of Al(C6H5)3 is required for every 3 moles of C6H6 produced. So given the number of moles of C6H6 you have, determine the number of moles of Al(C6H5)3 that was required.
0.012174851 mol / 3 = 0.004058284 mol
Then multiply by the molar mass to get the number of grams that was originally present.
0.004058284 mol * 258.293239 g/mol = 1.048227218 g
Finally, the weight percent is simply the mass of the reactant divided by the total mass of the sample. So
1.048227218 g / 1.25 g = 0.838581775 = 83.8581775%
And of course, round to 3 significant digits, giving 83.9%</span>
