In a constant-pressure calorimeter, 60.0 mL of 0.310 M Ba(OH)2 was added to 60.0 mL of 0.620 M HCl. The reaction caused the temperature of the solution to rise from 22.61 °C to 26.83 °C. If the solution has the same density and specific heat as water (1.00 g/mL and 4.184 J/g·°C, respectively), what is ΔH for this reaction (per mole of H2O produced)? Assume that the total volume is the sum of the individual volumes.

1) You are a research scientist studying a novel enzyme X, and you want to characterize this new enzyme. You measure the velocity of the reaction with different substrate concentrations and get the following data:

[S] (mM) Initial Velocity (mmol/min)
3.0 10.4
5.0 14.5
10.0 22.5
30.0 33.8
90.0 40.5

a) Graph the above data. From the graph, estimate KM and Vmax (Michaelis-Menten Plot)

b) Use Lineweaver-Burk plot to calculate Km and Vmax. Show all equations and calculations.

c) You decide to do this experiment again, but this time with only one third of the enzyme X concentration used in the first experiment. Draw a new graph on the same graph that you did the first graph on. Estimate Km and Vmax from the new graph.
