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 characteristic of money explains why an old dollar is worth as much as a crisp, new dollar?
raketka [301]

The characteristic is uniformity.

<h3>Uniformity of money</h3>

Money is said to be uniform because irrespective of the nature it exists, the same amount must have the same purchasing power.

For example, a dollar in paper form and a dollar in coin form must be able to buy the same 1 dollar worth of goods.

Thus, a dollar bill, irrespective of its age, has the same purchasing power as a new, crisp dollar bill.

The average atomic mass of Eu is 151.96 amu. There are only two naturally occurring isotopes of europium, Eu with a mass of 151.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope,:

% = x %

Mass = 151.0 amu

For second isotope :

% = 100  - x  

Mass = 153.0 amu

Given, Average Mass = 151.96 amu

Thus,

151.96=\frac{x}{100}\times {151.0}+\frac{100-x}{100}\times {153.0}

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 52 %

<u>Thus percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .</u>

What is the pH of 1.0M HI solution?
ozzi

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Since HI is a strong acid, the amoung of Hydrogen ions produced by it will be the same molar as the reactant. The negative log of the concentration will reveal that the pH is 0.
