Question
2. The molecule superoxide dismutates in aqueous solution. Three different reactions occur, depending
on the protonation state of the superoxide.
0,- + 0,- + 2H → H,O; + O,
k = 0.3 M-'s-1 Pseudo-second order rate constant, fourth order
reaction
HO, + 0,- + H → H,O, + O,
k = 9.7•10° M-'s-1 Pseudo-second order rate constant, third
order reaction
HO; + HO; → H,O, + 0,
k = 8.3•10s M-'s- Second order rate constant, second order reaction
At the pH value of most body tissues (7.2), the ratio of [O,-]/[ HO;'] is about 500/1.
pH 7.2 means that [H] = 6.31 10-8 M
If the total superoxide concentration in a cell were 0.1 nM, what is the rate of superoxide dismutation?
