Solution

The answer is C. 27 minutes.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. In the first experiment, it took 9 minutes to form 12mM of the product using a certain amount of enzyme.

  2. In the second experiment, one-third as much enzyme was used. This means the reaction would take three times as long to produce the same amount of product, because the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is directly proportional to the amount of enzyme present.

  3. Therefore, to produce 12mM of product, it would take 9 minutes x 3 = 27 minutes.

An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km for that substrate. After 21 seconds, 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, 1/2 times as much enzyme was used. How long (sec) would it take for the same amount (12 mmol) of product to be formed?

The active ingredient in an aqueous preparation has an initial concentration of 6.2*10-3 g/mL. After 4 months the concentration was determined by analysis to be 5 *10-3 g/mL. The product is known to be ineffective after it has decomposed to 50% of its original concentration. Assuming the decomposition follows first order kinetics, calculate how long it will take to reach 50% of the original concentration. Answer in months log C = log C0 - (k1/2.303 )* t t1/2 = 0.693/k
