In the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the amino acid methionine undergoes an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with ATP to give SAM and triphosphate. This is one of only two known biochemical reactions in which triphosphate serves as a leaving group. Give the curved arrow mechanism for this reaction, assuming it is an SN2 process. Note, adenine is abbreviated as

*will mark you brainliest + 15 points ** why does the equilibrium of a system shift when the pressure is increased? a. to maximize the stress on the system b. to stop restoring equilibrium to the system c. to increase the total moles of gas in the system d. to decrease the total moles of gas in the system

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.

Asolution is made by dissolving 2.3 moles of sodium chloride (nacl) in 0.155 kilograms of water. if the molal boiling point constant for water (kb) is 0.51 °c/m, what would be the boiling point of this solution? show all the steps taken to solve this problem.
