To the nearest tenths, what is the equilibrium constant for the enzymatic hydrolysis of 0.1 M A-O-PO32- to A-OH and inorganic phosphate (where A is some generalized molecule) given that 0.04% of the original A-O-PO32- remained after reaching equilibrium and the activity of water is unity. Assume a pH of 7.0.

Solutions

Expert Solution

In firt place, it should be defined the equilibrium constant in molar concentration because the only clue in this exercise is the initial concentration [A-O-PO32-]​= 0.10M.

KM​ =​ {[AOH][PO4​3-]​ ​}/[A-O-PO3​2-]

Next, it should be written this reaction to make its equilibrium scheme:

A-O-PO3​2-(ac)​ + H2O(l)           => AOH(ac)​+ PO43-​​​(ac)​

Water concentration remains constant and the sheme is:

[A-OPO3​2- ​]​ (M) [AOH] (M) [PO4​3-]​ (M)
Initial 0.10 0.00 0.00
Change -x   (because it decreases) +x (because it increases) +x (because it increases)
At equilibrium concentration 0.10-x +x

+x

If the initial concentration of A-O-PO3​2-​ is 0.10M and remains 0.04% at equilibrium, it must be calculated its final concentration.

0.10M _________100%

y        __________0.04%

y= 0.04x0.10M/100= 4.0.10-5​M

​0.10M - x = 4.0.10-5​M

​-x = (4.0.10-5​- 0.10)M

-x= -0.09996M

x= 0.09996M

For our convenience; it should be defined the KM ​again but using x at the equilibrium.

KM​= x.x/(0.10-x)

​KM =​ ​x2​/(0.10-x)     x= 0.09996M​​

KM​= 0.099962​M2​/(0.10-0.09996)M= 249.8M​​​

Finally:   KM​= 249.8 M​
