What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
  • The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
  • In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.

A gas mixture at room temperature contains 10.0 mol CO and 12.5 mol O2. (a) Compute the mole fraction of CO in the mixture. (b)
zlopas [31]

Answer:

a. the mole fraction of CO in the mixture of CO and O2.

mole fraction = moles of CO/ Total moles of the mixture

Mole fraction of CO = 10/(10+12.5)=0.444

b. Reaction - CO(g)+½O2(g)→CO2(g)

Stoichiometry: 1 mole of CO react with 0.5mole of O2 to give 1 mole of CO2

So given,

At a certain point in the heating, 3.0 mol CO2 is present. Determine the mole fraction of CO in the new mixture.

3mol of CO2 is produced from 3 mols of CO and 1.5mol of O2

This means that unused mols are : 7mols of CO and 11mols of O2

Total product mixture = 3 + 7 + 11 = 21mols

mole fraction of CO = 7/21 = 0.33

How many moles of helium gas are contained in a 4.0 L flask at STP
Ratling [72]
First, you convert liters to moles. 
Usually you have to go to grams but this is STP.

Get moles directly by dividing the 4 by STP (22.4)
\frac{4}{22.4} =0.17857142857
About 1.8*10^{-1} or 0.18 moles whichever your teacher prefers
