6. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the following reaction: CO, + H,0 €→HCO; +H A. This reaction is important in the transport of carbon dioxide by red blood cells. Carbonic anhydrase has a molecular weight of ~27,000 g/mol and a turnover number (kcz) of approximately 1 X 10° per second. Assume you are given a solution that is saturated with Co, containing 4 µg of carbonic anhydrase. At what rate (in millimoles of CO, consumed per second) will this reaction proceed under optimal conditions?
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.

A. This reaction is important in the transport of carbon dioxide by red blood cells. Carbonic
anhydrase has a molecular weight of ~27,000 g/mol and a tumover number (ka) of
approximately 1 X 10° per second. Assume you are given a solution that is saturated with
CO, containing 4 ug of carbonic anhydrase. At what rate (in millimoles of CO, consumed
per second) will this reaction proceed under optimal conditions?
B. Assuming standard temperature and pressure, how much CO2 gas (in ml) will be
consumed in 10 seconds?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9e60ae64-4458-4b89-bb0e-7dd9dd5dc5fe%2F42d09f15-2f5c-4d9d-b768-5badef4ea4dd%2Ftj99pum_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
