Cobra venom helps the snake secure food by binding to acetylcholine receptors on the diaphragm of a bite victim, leading to the loss of function of the diaphragm muscle tissue and eventually death. In order to develop more potent antivenins, scientists have studied what happens to the toxin once it has bound the acetylcholine receptors. They have found that the toxin is released from the receptor in a process that can described by the rate law Rate = k[acetylcholine receptor-toxin complex] If the activation energy of this reaction at 37.0°C is 26.2 kJ/mol and A = 0.850 s, what is the rate of reaction if you have a 0.400-M solution of receptor-toxin complex at 37.0°C? (Enter your answer to two significant figures.) Rate = mol/L s

. Hydrogen gas and chlorine gas in the presence of light react explosively to form hydrogen chloride H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)The reaction is strongly exothermic. Would an increase in temperature for the system lend to favor or disfavor the production of hydrogen chloride?
During polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.
Why are enzymes important? For example, what is the importance of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the body?
Which sentence best describes the following reaction? 2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l)+heat a. It is an endothermic reaction. b. It is an exothermic double-replacement reaction. c. It is a synthesis reaction that is also exothermic. d. It is a decomposition reaction that is also endothermic.
Monochloroethane (C2H5Cl) can be produced by the direct reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas or by the reaction of ethylene gas (C2H4) with hydrogen chloride gas. The second reaction gives almost a 100% yield of pure C2H5Cl at a rapid rate without catalysis. The first method requires light as an energy source or the reaction would not occur. Yet G for the first reaction is considerably more negative than G for the second reaction. Explain how this can be so.
7-45 (Chemical Connections 7C) A painkiller—for example, Tylenol—can be purchased in two forms, each containing the same amount of drug. One form is a solid coated pill, and the other is a capsule that contains tiny beads and has the same coat. Which medication will act faster? Explain.
Explain correctly and explain with step by step
Is the following true or false? Catalysis is the acceleration of reactions and is achieved by making the products lower in energy.
If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s) of a reaction, would you expect any substrate to form? No, because the enzyme lowers the transition state energy barrier. Yes, because the reaction proceeds backwards until reaching equilibrium. Yes, because the enzyme reduces the standard free energy change for the reaction. No, because enzymes catalyze only the forward reaction. No, because the product inhibits the enzyme.
Explain why scientists do not use a standard set of steps for everyinvestigation they conduct.
