The hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as dna synthesis. in escherichia coli, a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. the pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kda and consists of six identical subunits. a unit of activity for this enzyme, u, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 μmol of pyrophosphate in 15 minutes. the purified enzyme has a of 2800 u per milligram of enzyme. when [s]> > km, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second?

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
