Using various techniques, it is possible to isolate butadiene from the resulting homogenous mixture. Typically, this reaction was performed at about 400 °C with a variety of metal oxide catalysts (we'll cover catalysts in the Spring semester). Let's assume you're able to isolate 6.327 kg of butadiene at 400.0 °C at a pressure of 10.000 atm in a 646 L reaction vessel. This vessel is equipped with a near-frictionless piston to accommodate volume changes; its surroundings are also held at a pressure of 10.000 atm. 6. The temperature decreases to 200.0 °C without changing pressure, and the butadiene sample remains in the gas phase. What is the new volume in L? 7. If butadiene has a specific heat of 12.9 J°C! g', what was the heat flow associated with the above change in kJ? 8. Calculate the work for this process in kJ. 9. Was work performed on or by the system?
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.
