Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction: HAPPY↽⇀SAD The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. The researchers determined the kcat of the enzyme to be 555 s-1. In a separate experiment with [Et] at 3.2 nM and [HAPPY] at 55 µM, the researchers find that ?0 is equal to 220 nM s−1. What is the measured ?m of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY?
Technetium (Tc) is a by-product of the spontaneous fission of Uranium-238 and as such is of particular interest to the nuclear sector. The most common isotope is 99Tc which is unstable and decays by emission of a beta particle,with a half-life of t½ = 2.11 x 105 years. A 99Tc sample is characterised and is found to contain 0.1 mol of the radionuclide. Determine the time required for the amount of technetium to reduce by 1% of this value

Consider the reaction A(aq) = 2B(aq) where Kc = 4.1 at 25 °C. If 1.5 M A(aq) and 0.50 M B(aq) are initially present in a 1.0 L flask at 25 °C, what change in concentration (if any) will occur in time?
At a constant external pressure of 43.6 bar, a mole of XX reacts via the reaction X(g)+4Y(g)→2Z(g), ΔH∘=−75.0 kJ mol−1X(g)+4Y(g)→2Z(g), ΔH∘=−75.0 kJ mol−1 Before the reaction, the volume of the gaseous mixture was 5.00 LL. After the reaction, the volume was 2.00 LL. Calculate the value of the total energy change, ΔUΔUDelta U, in kJ mol−1 kJ mol−1.
Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by the method of radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 14C, with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere, and animal life assimilates 14C through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon, and the amount of 14C present begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. a) Dinosaur fossils are too old to be reliably dated using carbon-14. Suppose we had a 67 million year old dinosaur fossil. What percent of the living dinosaur's 14C would be remaining today? (Round your answer to five decimal places.) b) Suppose the minimum detectable amount is 0.7%. What is the maximum age (in years) of a fossil that we could date using 14C? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)

Therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half-life (in this case, approximately 1.25 billion years). Suppose the minimum detectable mass is 0.4% and a dinosaur is dated with 40K to be 67 million years old. Is such a dating possible? What is the maximum age (in millions of years) of a fossil that could be dated using 40K? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (Can you…
