iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The water soluble substance which absorb moisture from the air and then dissolve on the absorbed moisture to change into liquid taste are called deliquescent substances whereas the substances which absorb moisture from air but do not change their state are called hygroscopic substances.

The Michaelis constant for pancreatic lipase is 5 mM. At 60 C, lipase is subject to deactivation with a half-life of 8 min. Fat

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

According to the given data, we will calculate the following.

Half life of lipase $t_{1/2}$ = 8 min x 60 s/min

= 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction is as follows.

$k_{d} = \frac{0.6932}{480}$

= $1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}
$

Initial fat concentration $S_{o}$ = 45 $mol/m^{3}$

= 45 mmol/L

Rate of hydrolysis $V_m_{o}$ = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration (S) = $S_{o} (1 - X)$

= 45 (1 - 0.80)

= 9 $mol/m^{3}$

or, = 9 mmol/L

It is given that $K_{m}$ = 5mmol/L

Therefore, time taken will be calculated as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

t = $-\frac{1}{K_{d}}ln[1 - \frac{K_{d}}{V}{K_{M} ln (\frac{S_{o}}{S}) + (S_{o} - S)]$

= $-\frac{1}{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}ln[1 - \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}{0.07 mmol/L/s
}{K_{M} ln (\frac{45 mmol/L
}{9 mmol/L
}) + (45 mmol/L - 9 mmol/L
)]$
