Interpretation:
For the given E2 elimination reaction, two bases shown, A and B, are to be matched with their respective rate constants according to their pKa values.
Concept introduction:
Higher the pKa value, the weaker the acid and stronger its conjugate base.
As the strength of base increases, it will abstract an acidic proton more rapidly.
An E2 reaction is a single step, bimolecular reaction involving both the substrate and the base. Since the deprotonation and the departure of the leaving group occur simultaneously, the

- give the mechanism for the following reactionarrow_forwardTwo enzymes, E1 and E2, respectively catalyze the conversion of A to B, and B to C in two reactions in series. r1 and r2 denote reaction rates. Both reactions follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics.Rm and Km for E1 and E2 are 5 mmol/(L*s), 2.5 mM, and 10 mmol/(L*s), 0.1 mM, respectively. Reaction rate is based on the cellular volume. The product, C, is then secreted out of the cell. (a) At a steady-state, the cell converts 2 mmol/(L*s) of A to C. What are the intracellular concentrations of A and B? (b) Now, the supply rate of A is increased to 4 mmol/(L*s), but E1 and E2 remain at same levels. What are the new concentrations of A and B?arrow_forward1) What is the subject of each of the figures above ? 2) What is the main message of figure? 3) Give a brief but complete description of the three sections of the chemical mechanism along with a statement on the significance of the reaction.arrow_forward

The initial rate of this reaction was measured using UV spectrometry at 25°C, at fixed initial concentrations of the aryl amine and perchlorate, but varying the initial concentration of nitrite. 0.06 0.04 0.02 0.01 [nitrite]o / mol dm-³ Initial rate / 108 mol dm-3 s-1 39.0 18.0 5.0 1.5 Using the table of data show that the reaction proceeds according to the rate law rate = k₁[nitrite] + k₂[nitrite]² and calculate values for the rate constants.arrow_forwardThere is no chromophore in ethanol and the λmax for acetaldehyde is 218 nm.

Carbonic anhydrase has two substrates, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, which are both converted to carbonic acid. Kinetic data for each is given below. While determining the kinetics of HCO3 as a substrate, how would the addition of CO2 effect the reaction if the rate were measured by the disappearance of bicarbonate?

- Please answer as clear as possiblearrow_forwardP9.8: The reaction below proceeds with a direct attack by a water molecule on the substrate, but the hydrolysis could be expected to proceed through two possible mechanisms. Draw two possible mechanisms for the reaction run in H182OH218O. Trace the progress of the 180180 'label' throughout each mechanism to see where it ends up: this should indicate to you how the two mechanisms could be (and in fact were!) distinguished experimentally.
