To the nearest hundredths, what is the pH at the end of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction if it were carried out in a 0.1 M buffer initially at pH 6.66, and 0.004 M of acid (H+) was produced during the reaction? (The buffer used was a polyprotic acid of the general form: H3A; the three pKas of this polyprotic acid are 2.16, 6.66, and 11.23.)

Solution:

pH matched with pka2 , let acid be H3A hence the buffer would be H2A- and HA2-

We use Henderson equation of buffer

pH = pka2 + log [HA2-]/[H2A-]

6.63 = 6.63 + log [HA2-]/[H2A-]

[[HA2-] =[H2A-] ............(1)

we were mentioned buffer conc is 0.1 M = [H2A-]+[HA2-] .......(2)

by (1) and ( 2)   we get [HA2-]=[H2A-] = 0.05 M

now 0.003 M acid is added , acid H+ reacts with HA2- and we get H2A-

H+ (aq) + HA2- (aq) ---> H2A-(aq)

hence [H2A-] = 0.05+0.004 = 0.054 , [HA2-] = 0.05-0.004 = 0.046 M

now pH = 6.63 + log ( 0.046/0.054)

     = 6.56

An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km for that substrate. After 9 minutes, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 12 mmol. If, in a separate experiment, one-third as much enzyme and twice as much substrate had been combined, how long would it take for the same amount (12 mmol) of product to be formed?

After 9 minutes, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 12 micro-moles. If, in a separate experiment, the same amount of substrate but six times as much enzyme had been combined in the same volume, how long would it take for the same amount (12 micro-moles) of...
