The enzyme fumarase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fumarate:
Fumarate(aq) + H2O(liq) → L-maleate(aq)
The turnover number k2 for this enzyme is 2.5 × 103 s-1, and the Michaelis constant is 4.2 × 10-6 mol / L.
(a) What is the rate of fumarate conversion v if the total concentration of the enzyme is 1.0 × 10-7 mol / Land the concentration of fumarate is 3.0 × 10-4 mol / L?
(b) What is the ratio (v/vmax) in the conditions of question (a)?
(c) At what concentration of fumarate is (v/vmax) = 0.28?

1. The following table lists the ion composition of water. What are the mg/L concentrations of each? Does this water have charge balance? If no, then some ion is missing. Would it be a cation or an anion? From these values compute the TDS in mg/L and the hardness in mg/L as CaCO3. Are these values low, normal, or high? Is any other ion out of the desired range?
Ion Concentration, mmole/L
Ca2+ 4.8
Mg2+ 1.2
Fe3+ 0.5
Na+ 1.5
SO42- 1.0
Cl- 5.0
HCO3- 8.0

You're 6.0 m from one wall of a house. You want to toss a ball to your friend who is 6.0 m from the opposite wall. The throw and catch each occur 1.0 m above the ground. (Figure 1) Assume the overhang of the roof is negligible, so that you may assume the edge of the roof is 6.0 m from you and 6.0 m from your friend.

What minimum speed will allow the ball to clear the roof?
At what angle should you toss the ball?

Just after detonation, the fireball in a nuclear blast is approximately an ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of about 0.84 × 107 K. (a) Find the wavelength at which the thermal radiation is maximum and (b) identify the type of electromagnetic wave corresponding to that wavelength. This radiation is almost immediately absorbed by the surrounding air molecules, which produces another ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of about 1.0 × 105 K. (c) Find the wavelength at which the thermal radiation is maximum and (d) identify the type of electromagnetic wave corresponding to that wavelength.

HalHal
and
NickNick
are racing to develop a new brand of
tooth whitenertooth whitener.
They both believe that it will be
more effective than all othersmore effective than all others.
HalHal
and
NickNick
know that if they both develop the new product, they will make zero economic profit; if only one of them develops the new product, that firm will make an economic profit of
$2.52.5
million a week and the other will incur an economic loss of
$1.01.0
million a week; and if neither of them develops the new product, both will make an economic profit of $1.0 million.
