Carbonic anhydrase (CA) has a 25,000-fold higher activity (kcat = 106 s-1) than orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPD) (kcat = 40 s-1). However, OMPD provides more than a 1010 higher “rate acceleration” than CA. Explain how this is possible.

A fictional company has been producing propene oxide, C3H6O, from propene, C3H6, with a 96.0% yield. The process requires the use of a compound called m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, C7H5O3Cl, which can be abbreviated as mCPBA. The entire reaction takes place in the solvent dichloromethane, CH2Cl2:
C3H6+C7H5O3ClCH2Cl2−−−⟶96.0% yieldC3H6O+C7H5O2Cl
The initial propene concentration in the solvent is 21.0 g/L.
Consider the prices of the following substances.
Substance | Price per unit | Unit |
propene | $10.97 | kg |
dichloromethane | $2.12 | L |
mCPBA | $5.28 | kg |
propene oxide | $258.25 | kg |
Also consider that the cost of waste disposal is $5.00 per kilogram of propene oxide produced.
Part A
A relatively simple way of estimating profit is to consider the the difference between the cost (the total spent on materials and waste disposal) and the earnings (the price at which the product can be sold).
Calculate the profit from producing 43.00 kg of propene oxide.
Express your answer numerically in dollars using three significant figures.

Alternative method
The company is developing a "greener" method of making propene oxide from propene using hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, in supercritical water with a vanadium catalyst. In the reaction 1.00 kg of vanadium catalyst and 32.0 kg of water are used for each kilogram of propene. 75 % of the vanadium catalyst can be collected and reused in a subsequent batch:
C3H6+H2O2V, H2O−−−⟶89.0% yieldC3H6O+H2O
Consider the prices of the following substances.
Substance | Price per unit | Unit |
propene | $10.97 | kg |
hydrogen peroxide | $1.96 | kg |
vanadium catalyst | $57.50 | kg |
supercritical water | $1.85 | kg |
propene oxide | $258.25 | kg |
There is virtually no waste produced with this green process and there is no waste disposal fee, but the yield is only 89.0%.
Part B
Calculate the profit from producing 43.00 kg of propene oxide by this alternative green process.

Water at 200 Fahrenheit is pumped from a storage tank at the rate of 50 gallons/minute. The motor for the pump supplies work at the rate of 2 hp. The water goes through a heat exchanger, giving up heat at the rate of 40,000 BTU/minute(Q Net In), and is delivered to a second storage tank at an elevation 50 feet above the first tank. What is the temperature of the water delivered to the second tank?

The gas burned with such a quantity of air that the oxygen from air
is 20% in excess of the net oxygen required for complete
combustion. If the combustion is 98% complete, calculate the weight
