1. Glucokinase and hexokinase perform the same enzymatic function yet their role in carbohydrate metabolism / homeostasis is substantially different. a. Describe their cellular distribution / locations, functions, enzyme kenetics, and their regulation of each. b. Describe how each contributes to glucose homeostasis. c. Describe how insulin and glucagon may regulate these two enzymes. 2. The liver is centrally involved in the regulation of blood glucose levels. a. Describe what and how the liver contributes to glucose levels in both fed and fasted states b. Describe the molecular sources of substrates for glucose production. It is important to discuss the cellular source of these molecules as well as the physiological conditions in which they would be produced. c. Explain how and why blood glucose concentrations become dis-regulated during both fed and fasted states with type II diabetes.

10 mL of bleach with an unknown concentration is added to a 100mL volumetric flask. The solution is then finished with deionized water. 10 mL of this diluted bleach solution is then added to an erlenmeyer flask along with 1 scoop of KI, and 5 L of 2M HCl. This solution is then titrated with Na2S2O3 until it is a pale yellow color, then a starch indicator is added and titration is completed until the solution is clear. If 43 mL of Na2S2O3 was required, what is the percent of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach? How would it be calculated? A step by step answer would be very much appreciated.

1. You may have already noticed that the shape of your spectrophotometric titration curve is quite different than the shapes of the potentiometric titration curves which you have constructed in earlier experiments. Why? (HINT: Think about the mathematical relationships between pH and concentration and absorbance and concentration . . .).

2. When performing a potentiometric titration it is very important to make a large number of measurements near the endpoint, while for a spectrophotometric titration one actually ignores the measurements obtained near the endpoint. Explain.

3. In order for a photometric method to be used for a titration, what requirement(s) must be met by the titration system?

I have an unknown mixture of Benzoic acid, Dimethyl Terephthalate, and Naphthalene dissolved in Dichloromethane. I need to separate the mixture to find the composition using some sort of acid base reation and a distillation. How would I do that? I think that I could use steam distillation to remove the naphthalne but im not really sure on that. Any help would be apprectiated. I start with 25mL of the unknown mixture.
