Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

1.034 g of a metal sulfate hydrate (if you have not heard of hydrates, look up online or in your lecture course textbook) was he

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

7.54%

Explanation:

A hydrate is a salt that has molecules of water incorporated into the crystals. It is represented by the molecular formula of the salt followed by how many molecules of water it has: XY.nH₂O.

So, the mass of water in the sample will be the difference between the hydrate and the salt without water:

mass of water = 1.034 - 0.956 = 0.078 g

The mass percentage is the mass of water divided by the total mass, and then multiplied by 100%:

(0.078/1.034)x100%

7.54%

An inhibitor is added to an enzyme-catalyzed reaction at a concentration of 26.7 μM. The Vmax remains constant at 50.0 μM/s, but

fomenos

Using the Michaelis-Menten equation competitive inhibition, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

<h3>What is the Ki for the inhibitor?</h3>

The Ki of an inhibitor is known as the inhibition constant.

The inhibition is a competitive inhibition as the Vmax is unchanged but Km changes.

Using the Michaelis-Menten equation for inhibition:

Kma = Km/(1 + [I]/Ki)

Making Ki subject of the formula:

Ki = [I]/{(Kma/Km) - 1}

where:

Kma is the apparent Km due to inhibitor
Km is the Km of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction
[I] is the concentration of the inhibitor

Solving for Ki:

where

[I] = 26.7 μM

Km = 1.0

Kma = (150% × 1 ) + 1 = 2.5

Ki = 26.7 μM/{(2.5/1) - 1)

Ki = 53.4 μM

Therefore, the Inhibition constant, Ki of the inhibitor is 53.4 μM.

Which statement is true?

docker41 [41]

I am pretty sure that the statement which is true is A. a molecule having a covalent bond can be ionic. I choose this option because you usually ca see how electons of polyatomic ions are being covalenr and gain or loose ionic electrons in order to accomplish the octet.<span>
