Describe the primary and secondary criteria for having achieved V ̇O2 max.
You are trying to come up with a drug to inhibit the activity of an enzyme thought to have a role in liver disease. In the laboratory the enzyme was shown to have a Km of 1.0 x 10-6 M and Vmax of 0.1 micromoles/min.mg measured at room temperature. You developed a competitive inhibitor. In the presence of 5.0 x 10-5 M inhibitor, the apparent Km of the enzyme was found to be 1.5 x 10-5 M. What is the Ki of the inhibitor?
A wet pipette was used to transfer 10.00 mL of 1M HNO3 in the determination of ΔHrxn. [magnitude of ΔHrxn] In a maximum of 3 sentences explain why ΔHrxn decreases.
6. A stock solution containing 25% w/v of chlorhexidine is used to prepare an antiseptic such that when the antiseptic is diluted 1 in 25, a 1 in 500 wash solution is obtained which is ready for use by the patient. What volume (ml) of the stock solution is required to prepare 5 litres of the antiseptic to fulfil a bulk manufacturing order?
Downvoted for wrong solution. A river is carrying water containing 2000 mg/l Magnesium Chloride into a small lake. The lake has a naturally occurring Magnesium Chloride of 50 mg/l. If the river flow is 2500 Lmin and the lake flow rate is 1.5 m³.sec¹, what is the concentration of MgCl2 in the lake after the discharge point? Assume that the flows in the river and lake are completely mixed, that the salt is a conservative substance, and the system is at steady state.
Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by beta-lactamase, an enzyme present in some penicillin-resistant bacteria. The mass of this enzyme is 30.0 kDa. The amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 1 mL solution containing 3 x 10-3 g of the enzyme was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. Calculate Km, Vmax , and kcat from the following data: (Clearly show where 1/Vmax and -1/Km are; clearly explain how to obtain your kcat value). [S] (mM) vo (mM s-1) 0.14 0.138 0.28 0.234 0.55 0.333 0.77 0.388 1.52 0.491

A stock solution of potassium permanganate (KMn04) was prepared by dissolving 13.0g KMn04 with DI in a 100ml volumetric flask and diluting to the calibration mark. Determine the molarity of the solution.
A sample of a soil was analysed for K+ as follows. A 2.50 g sample of soil was dissolved in acid and diluted to volume in 100 mL volumetric flask. A 10 mL of the resulting solution was transferred by pipet to a 50 mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume. An analysis showed that the concentration of K+ in the final solution was 9.81 ppm. What was the weight percent of K+ in the original soil?
Regarding sewage quality parameters with regard to physical and chemical characteristics, mark V for True or F for False: ( ) Turbidity is caused by the abundance of suspended solids in the water, the fresher and more concentrated the sewage, the greater its turbidity. ( ) Phenols present in sewage are inorganic compounds derived from domestic effluents, and despite being organic matter, they do not cause any change in water quality. ( ) Sewage, both fresh and old, derived from both domestic and industrial activities, is always gray or black in color. ( ) Household effluents have a BOD of around 300 mg/L, which means that 1 liter of sewage consumes about 300 milligrams of oxygen in 7 days. ( ) Phosphorus is a component that can be present in sewage in both organic and inorganic form. In large quantities, the compound causes the exaggerated growth of algae in the medium, which can cause the death of local aquatic life, this phenomenon is called eutrophication.
