To determine: Whether the reaction of baking soda with the vinegar to release carbon dioxide gas is an endergonic reaction or exergonic reaction.
Introduction: The reaction in which energy is released in the surrounding in any form indicates that it is an exergonic reaction. The reaction in which energy is utilized is known as endergonic reactions.

- What type of reaction would reverse the step shown in this diagram?arrow_forwardShow the complete reaction mechanism (including arrow pushing) for this reaction.arrow_forwardIn covalent catalysis, either nucleophilic catalysis or electrophilic catalysis occurs. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain.arrow_forward
- Consider an enzyme (P) that gets activated by forming a dimer (P2): 2P = P2 At 25 °C, we have AH- 19 kJ/mol and AS-65 kJ/mol, for this dimerization reaction. Identify the correct statement. O The enzyme is activated when kept at temp = +37 °C. O The enzyme is activated at all temperatures. O The enzyme is activated when kept in the fridge with temp = 4 "C. O The enzyme can never be activated, no matter what the temperature is. O None of the above statements is true.arrow_forwardFor this assignment I Then I have to explain these questions and I have been confused because I don’t know if the *triangle * G has to do with this diagram I drew because in that I already explained about endergonic and exergonic and then the rest are homework questions I have been stuck on “will a reaction with a positive *triangle sign* G spontaneously? How can you make it spontaneous? A student add enzyme to this reaction? Will it become spontaneous now? Write the equation of photo synthesis the oxygen generated during photosynthesis comes from H2O or CO2 How many ATPS and NADPH are needed to make one molecule of glucose. How many times will a cell have to undergo cyclic and non cyclic electron flow to make one molecule of glucosearrow_forwardAn enzyme has a single active site at which it can bind and hydrolyze either X or Y; however, the enzyme cannot bind X and Y at the same time. Answer the following questions regarding the Km and Vmax of this enzyme. (a) Will the Km for X be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture? Explain. (b) Will Vmax for X be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture? Explain. (a) No, X competes with Y for binding, so the apparent Km for X will stay the same. (b) Yes, the Vmax for X will decrease in the presence of Y. (a) No, Y does not compete with X for binding, so the apparent Km for X will stay the same. (b) No, the Vmax for X will be unaffected by the presence of Y.arrow_forward
- The following table provides descriptions of what is occurring at steps A, B, and C in the reaction. Review the descriptions and then choose the letter from the image that matches each description in the left-hand column of the table.arrow_forwardA particular reaction has a ΔG‡ of 37.0 kJ mol-1. In the presence of an enzyme, the same reaction has a ΔG‡ of 5.70 kJ mol-1. Calculate the value of ΔΔG‡ in kJ mol-1.arrow_forwardWhy is the overall coupled reaction exergonic?arrow_forward
- The following questions are based on the reaction A+ B ↔ C+D shown in Figure 8.1. 1.

Which of the following in Figure 8.1 remains unchanged by having an enzyme included? a) b b) d c) a d) c 3. The part labeled “C” on the above graph represents a) Energy of activation without enzyme b) Energy of activation with enzyme c) Amount of free energy released d) amount of energy required for the reaction progressarrow_forwardFigure 1 shows the catalytic triad of a-chymotrypsin. Identify A, B and C. Describe the subsequent steps of stage 1 and stage 2 of a- chymotrypsin mechanism. Illustrate with diagrams.
