Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The change in the concentration of hydrogen ions is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The concentration of hydrogen ion is calculated by the value of
Answer to Problem 20.53E
The change in the hydrogen ion concentration is
Explanation of Solution
The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is calculated by the following formula.
It is given that the initial
Substitute the value of initial
Therefore, the initial concentration of hydrogen ions are
It is given that the
Substitute the value of initial
Therefore, the final concentration of hydrogen ions are
The change in the concentration of hydrogen ion is calculated by the following formula.
The initial concentration of hydrogen ions are
The final concentration of hydrogen ions are
Substitute the value of initial and final concentration of hydrogen ions in the above equation.
Therefore, the change in the hydrogen ion concentration is
The change in the hydrogen ion concentration is
(b)
Interpretation:

Concept introduction:
The concentration of hydrogen ion is calculated by the value of
Answer to Problem 20.53E
The number of molecules of substrate reacted to cause the change in hydrogen ion concentration is
Explanation of Solution
The number of molecules of substrate reacted to cause the change in hydrogen ion concentration is calculated by the following formula.
Where,
•
The value of
The change in the hydrogen ion concentration is
Substitute the value of hydrogen ion concentration and Avogadro number in equation (2).
Therefore, the number of molecules of substrate reacted to cause the change in hydrogen ion concentration is
The number of molecules of substrate reacted to cause the change in hydrogen ion concentration is
(c)
Interpretation:

- Which statement does NOT apply to the lock-and-key theory? O explains the functioning of enzymes explains the need for a specific three dimensional structure found in proteins explains the reason why a particular enzyme is involved with one substrate explains why a substrate-enzyme complex is so difficult to separatearrow_forwardAn enzyme requires a Zn2+ ion in order to function correctly. In this case, the Zn2+ is a(n) a. apoenzyme b. coenzyme c. cofactor d. subunit 24. A substance that can bind to an enzyme at a location other than the active site and increase or decrease the activity of that enzyme is called a(n) a. subunit b. proenzyme c. modulator d. feedback inhibitorarrow_forwardThe enzyme urease catalyzes the breakdown of urea in the body. Urease breaks urea down to 2NH3 + CO2. This is an example of a hydrolysis reaction (urea plus water For each equivalent of carbon dioxide (CO2), two equivalents of ammonia (NH3) are produced. Label the enzyme, substrate, enzyme-substrate complex, enzyme-product complex, and product in the enzymatic reaction for the breakdown of urea by urease using the induced-fit model. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. ► View Available Hint(s) Urease – 2NH3 + CO2 Urea - 2NH3 + CO2 Urease - Urea 2NH3 + CO2 Urease Urea cj Complex Pearson 1. + Complex Reset Helparrow_forward
