Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.54E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The shift in the direction of the equilibrium of the reaction AB on adding an enzyme is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes are the biocatalysts. Enzyme enhances the activity of biochemical process. For increasing the rate of biochemical reaction, enzyme should be biologically active. Enzyme accelerates the speed of forward and backward reaction with equal extent.

When the reaction below reaches equilibrium, does the equilibrium lie on the left or the right side?  Briefly explain. ClO–  +  CH3CO2H  ⇌  HClO  +  CH3CO2–   When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the adenosine triphosphate molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate,  ATP + H2O  ––>  ADP  +  Pi, where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution.  If the total concentration of Pi  is 2.5 x 10–2M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?     Permanganate, MnO4–, can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic aqueous solutions. Balance each of the following reactions by the half–reaction method, showing all steps in the balancing process.   MnO4–   +   Al   ––>   MnO2   +   Al(OH)4–                                in aqueous base   MnO4–   +   CH3COOH   ––>   Mn+2   +   CO2                            in aqueous acid
"Calcium ions/oxalic acid equilibrium in the kidney" Base on the above statement, give an equilibrium related to that and answer the following questions: What is the K value of the equilibrium if it is available. Base on Le Chatelier's principle, when will that equilibrium will not meet and what negative effects will happen when the equilibrium is not met. Suggest the preventive measures that can be taken to avoid negative effects whem the equilbrium is not met.
What is the function of a catalyst? What are enzymes made of?
