7-22 If you add a piece of marble, CaCO3 to a 6 M HCI solution at room temperature, you will see some bubbles form around the marble as gas slowly rises. If you crush another piece of marble and add it to the same solution at the same temperature, you will see vigorous gas formation, so much so that the solution appears to be boiling. Explain.
A research group discovers a new version of happyase, which they call happyase*, that catalyzes the chemical reaction HAPPY ⇌ SAD. The researchers begin to characterize the enzyme. (a) In the first experiment, with [Et] at 4 nM, they find that the Vmax is 1.6 μM s−1. Based on this experiment, what is the kcat for happyase*? (Include appropriate units.) (b) In another experiment, with [Et] at 1 nM and [HAPPY] at 30 μM, the researchers find that V0 = 300 nM s−1. What is the measured Km of happyase* for its substrate HAPPY? (Include appropriate units.) (c) Further research shows that the purified happyase used in the first two experiments was actually contaminated with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is carefully removed from the happyase preparation and the two experiments repeated, the measured Vmax in (a) is increased to 4.8 μM s−1, and the measured Km in (b) is now 15 μM. For the inhibitor ANGER, calculate the values of α and α′. . (d) Based on the information given…

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human bodyis carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversionof carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ionand protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body couldnot rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated bycell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration(release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second.Which components of this description correspond to theterms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?

The addition of NO accelerates the decomposition ofN2O, possibly by the following mechanism:NO(g) + N2O(g)--->N2(g) + NO2(g)2 NO2(g)--->2 NO(g) + O2(g)(a) What is the chemical equation for the overall reaction?Show how the two steps can be added to give theoverall equation. (b) Is NO serving as a catalyst or an intermediatein this reaction? (c) If experiments show thatduring the decomposition of N2O, NO2 does not accumulatein measurable quantities, does this rule out the proposedmechanism?
