Methane, CH4(g), can be found in some places as frozen 'ice" at the bottom of the ocean. At a depth where the pressure is 150 atm, 3.00 g of CH4(g) can dissolve in 1.0 liter of water. What is the solubility of methane in g/L when the pressure is 0.5 atm?
The pressure of the system is increased. What effect will this have on the equilibrium shift of the reaction
Describe what happens to an enzyme when the pH is a) highly acidic and b) highly basic?
Describe what happens to an enzyme in a) cold medium and b) hot medium?
Carefully explain how does the fetal Hb manage to bind O2 tighter than maternal Hb? [Hint: your answer should include: 2, 3-BPG and differences in the protein chains].
explain what happens to fractional saturation (in terms of binding of O2 to hemoglobin) as the pH decreases from 7.6 to 7.2
Using the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) equation and the initial equation
for Fractional saturation (Y), derive to obtain the hyperbolic expression of (Y) as
given below:
๐ =[๐ฟ] / Kd + [๐ฟ]
A dietary supplement contains different types of essential amino acids. A
nutritionist wants to specifically see what type of amino acids are in the
supplement in order to recommend it to her clients. Thus, what type of technique
does she use to separate amino acids? Explain using a diagram.
Calculate the pressure, in atm, required to compress a sample of helium gas from 5.00 L
(at 1.00 atm) to 2.00 L.
A bus is moving at 5.0 m/s when a passenger walks forward at 1.5 m/s relative to the bus. How fast is this passenger moving as seen and measured by (a) a person waiting at the bus stop and (b) the driver of the bus?
