13. Calculate the cost/gram of product for the reaction given the following information: Compound Ethyl Acetate $9.08/L 5-nitrobenzoxisole (starting material for our reaction) ?? Cost $16.46/L Note: For this calculation, the cost of MgSO4, HCl, NaOH and water may be ignored (all are dirt cheap!). Ethanol Interestingly, since our actual starting material is made in house by our 3rd year students, we do not know it's exact cost. We do know, however, that the 3rd year's starting material (1,2- benzisoxazole) is $17.08/g and their reaction produces our starting material (5-nitrobenzoxisole) in an 80% yield. 1,2-benzisoxazole cost: $17.08/g MW: 119 g/mol reaction performed by WLU 3rd year students O₂N. 5-nitrobenisoxazole (the starting material for our reaction!) produced in 80% yield You may also assume that a WLU flat lab rate of $100 to be factored into the cost (ie consider it a component of "required amounts of chemicals used"). The product you synthesized can be purchased from a specialty custom chemical company for $672.00/g. Is the reaction you performed cost effective if you obtain a mass of 0.123 g?
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
