The incredible catalytic power of enzymes can perhaps best be appreciated by imagining how challenging life would be without just one of the thousands of enzymes in the human body. For example, consider life without fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, an enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway in liver and kidneys, which helps produce new glucose from the food we eat:
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H2O → Fructose-6-phosphate + Pi
The human brain requires glucose as its only energy source, and the typical brain consumes about 120. g (or 480. calories) of glucose daily. Ordinarily, two pieces of sausage pizza could provide more than enough potential glucose to feed the brain for a day. According to a national fast-food chain, two pieces of sausage pizza provide 1260 calories, 49.0 % of which is from fat. Fats cannot be converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis, so that leaves 615 calories potentially available for glucose synthesis. The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in the absence of enzyme is 2.00×10-20 sec-1.Calculate how long it would take to provide enough glucose for one day of brain activity from two pleces of sausage pizza without the enzyme.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Explanation:

First order rate constant is given as,

k =  (2.303 /t) log  [A₀] /[Aₙ]

where  [A₀]  is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, t

[A₀]  = 615 calories;

[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories

k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹

substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;

2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)

(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)

t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

A sample of propane, C3H8, contains 13.8 moles of carbon atoms. How many total moles of atoms does the sample contain

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Total = 50.6\ moles[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Propane = C_3H_8[/tex]

Represent Carbon with C and Hydrogen with H

[tex]C = 13.8[/tex]

Required

Determine the total moles

First, we need to represent propane as a ratio

[tex]C_3H_8[/tex] implies

[tex]C:H = 3:8[/tex]

So, we're to first solve for H when [tex]C = 13.8[/tex]

Substitute 13.8 for C

[tex]13.8 : H = 3 : 8[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{13.8}{H} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]3 * H = 13.8 * 8[/tex]

[tex]3 H = 110.4[/tex]

Solve for H

[tex]H = 110.4/3[/tex]

[tex]H = 36.8[/tex]

So, when

[tex]C = 13.8[/tex]

[tex]H = 36.8[/tex]

[tex]Total = C + H[/tex]

[tex]Total = 13.8 + 36.8[/tex]

[tex]Total = 50.6\ moles[/tex]

There are 5.5 L of a gas present at -38.0 C. What is the temperature if the volume of the gas has changed to 1.30 L?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 55.54 K

Explanation:

In order to find out the final temperature we use the formula for Charles's law which is

[tex] \frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2} \\ [/tex]

where

V1 is the initial volume

T1 is the initial temperature in Kelvin

V2 is the final volume

T2 is the final temperature in Kelvin

Since we are finding the final temperature

[tex]T_2 = \frac{V_2T_1}{V_1} \\ [/tex]

rom the question

V1 = 5.5 L

T1 = -38°C = -38 + 273 = 235 K

V2 = 1.30 L

We have

[tex]T_2 = \frac{1.30 \times 235}{5.5} = \frac{305.5}{5.5} \\ = 55.545454...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

liquid containing a mixture of neon and xenon was cooled down. One gas solidified at -249 °C and the other at –112 °C. Identify which noble gas solidified at -249 °C and which at -112 °C. Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The noble gases (Group 18) are located in the far right of the periodic table and were previously referred to as the "inert gases" due to the fact that their filled valence shells (octets) make them extremely nonreactive. The noble gases were characterized relatively late compared to other element groups.

The History

The first person to discover the noble gases was Henry Cavendish in the late 180th century. Cavendish distinguished these elements by chemically removing all oxygen and nitrogen from a container of air. The nitrogen was oxidized to  NO2  by electric discharges and absorbed by a sodium hydroxide solution. The remaining oxygen was then removed from the mixture with an absorber. The experiment revealed that 1/120 of the gas volume remained un-reacted in the receptacle. The second person to isolate, but not typify, them was William Francis (1855-1925). Francis noted the formation of gas while dissolving uranium minerals in acid.

Argon

In 1894, John William Strutt discovered that chemically-obtained pure nitrogen was less dense than the nitrogen isolated from air samples. From this breakthrough, he concluded that another, unknown gas was present in the air. With the aid of William Ramsay, Strutt managed to replicate and modify Cavendish's experiment to better understand the inert component of air in his original experiment. The researchers' procedure differed from the Cavendish procedure: they removed the oxygen by reacting it with copper, and removed the nitrogen in a reaction with magnesium. The remaining gas was properly characterized and the new element was named "argon," which originates from the Greek word for "inert."

Helium

Helium was first discovered in 1868, manifesting itself in the solar spectrum as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers. This discovery was made by Pierre Jansen. Jansen initially assumed it was a sodium line. However, later studies by Sir William Ramsay (who isolated helium on Earth by treating a variety of rare elements with acids) confirmed that the bright yellow line from his experiment matched up with that in the spectrum of the sun. From this, British physicist William Crookes identified the element as helium.

Neon, Krypton, Xenon

These three noble gases were discovered by Morris W. Travers and Sir William Ramsay in 1898. Ramsay discovered neon by chilling a sample of the air to a liquid phase, warming the liquid, and capturing the gases as they boiled off. Krypton and xenon were also discovered through this process.

Radon

In 1900, while studying the decay chain of radium, Friedrich Earns Dorn discovered the last gas in Group 18: radon. In his experiments, Dorn noticed that radium compounds emanated radioactive gas. This gas was originally named niton after the Latin word for shining, "nitens". In 1923, the International Committee for Chemical Elements and International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) decided to name the element radon. All isotopes of radon are radioactive. Radon-222 has the longest half-life at less than 4 days, and is an alpha-decay product of Radium-226 (part of the U-238 to Pb-206 radioactive decay chain).

Has an equilibrium expression of:

[tex]K_1=\frac{[C]^3}{[A][B]^2}=2.1x10^{-6}[/tex]

If we analyze the reaction:

2A + 4B → 6C

Which is twice the initial one, the equilibrium expression is:

[tex]K_2=\frac{[C]^6}{[A]^2[B]^4}[/tex]

It means that the equilibrium constant of the second reaction is equal to the equilibrium constant of the first reaction powered to second power:

[tex]K_2=K_1^2[/tex]

Thus, the equilibrium constant of the second reaction turns out:

[tex]K_2=(2.1 * 10^{-6})^2\\\\K_2=4.4x10^{-12}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium constant change. For an endothermic reaction, heat is a reactant. An increase in temperature and heat favors the forward reaction and the value of Kc increases.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, regarding reactions in equilibrium in which heat is a reactant as those exemplified by:

[tex]Heat+Reactants \rightleftharpoons Products[/tex]

We infer that the heat of reaction is positive since the reactants have more energy in their ground state than the products making them endothermic. Moreover, since the Le' Chatelier's principle states that increasing the reaction temperature in endothermic reactions, the forward reaction (towards products) is favored because endothermic reactions absorb heat in the form temperature raise, the required statement is:

The equilibrium constant change. For an endothermic reaction, heat is a reactant. An increase in temperature and heat favors the forward reaction and the value of Kc increases.

How many milliliters of 10.7 M perchloric acid solution should be used to prepare 5.50 L of 0.200 M

Answers

Answer:

102.8 mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 10.7 M

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) = 0.2 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 5.5 L

Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =.?

The volume of the stock solution needed can be obtained by using the following formula:

M1V1 = M2V2

10.7 × V2 = 0.2 × 5.5

10.7 × V2 = 1.1

Divide both side by 10.7

V2 = 1.1 / 10.7

V2 = 0.1028 L

Finally, we shall convert 0.1028 L to millilitres (mL) in order to obtain the desired result. This can be obtained as follow:

1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore,

0.1028 L = 0.1028 L × 1000 mL / 1 L

0.1028 L = 102.8 mL

Therefore, 0.1028 L is equivalent to 102.8 mL.

Thus, 102.8 mL of the stock solution (i.e perchloric acid) is needed.
