Answer:

The lock and key model also called Fisher's theory is one of two models which describe the enzyme-substrate interaction. The lock and key model assumes that the active site of the enzyme and the substrate are equal shaped. It supposes that the substrate fits perfectly into the active site of the enzyme.

Answer:

There are two models for enzyme-substrate interactions: ... The Lock and Key model explains that the enzyme needs to bind substrate, but once the reaction progresses to the transition state and product formation, the active site would not be able to accommodate this change.

typical seawarer contains 2.7g of salt (sodium chloride,Nacl)per 100ml (100*10-3L).what is the molarity of Nacl in the ocean?

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.5 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NaCl = 2.7 g

Volume = 100 mL(100×10⁻³L)

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.7 g/ 58.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litte

Molarity = 0.05 mol / 100×10⁻³L

Molarity = 0.5 M

Answer the following questions…

Zina [86]

The concentration of the hydronium ion in hydrochloric acid is 0.0045 M, and the pH of the solution is 2.34.

pH is the potential of the hydrogen or the hydronium ions in the aqueous solution.

As the solution contains $4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm M\;$ HCl the concentration of the hydronium ion will be the same, $4.5 \times 10^{-3} \;\rm M.$

The pH of the solution is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log[H^{+}]\\\\&= - \rm log (4.5 \times 10^{-3})\\\\&= 2.34\end{aligned}$

The concentration of the hydroxide ion is calculated from pH and hydronium ion as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm [H_{3}O^{+}][OH^{-}] &= 10^{-14}\\\\&= \dfrac{1 \times 10^{-14}}{4.5 \times 10^{-3}}\\\\&= 2.2 \times 10^{12}\end{aligned}$

Now, for the calcium hydroxide solution, the calculations are shown as,

$\begin{aligned} \rm (H_3}\rm O^{+}) &= \rm antilog (-pH)\\\\&= \rm antilog (-8)\\\\&= 10^{-8} \;\rm M\end{aligned}$

pOH is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= 14- 8 = 6\\\\\rm [OH^{-}] &= \rm antilog (-6)\\\\&= 10^{-6} \end{aligned}$

The concentration of calcium hydroxide is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} &= \dfrac{1}{2} \times \rm [OH^{-}]\\\\&= 5 \times 10^{-4} \;\rm M\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the pH and the pOH give the concentration of the hydrogen or the hydronium ion and the hydroxide ion.
