Answer:

A). The complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.

Explanation:

The Lock-and-key mechanism was proposed by Emil Fischer for the first time and characterized as the metaphor which helps in elucidating the specificity of the enzymatic reactions. In this metaphor, the lock is described as the enzyme while 'key' is characterized as the substrate which the enzyme acts upon. If the key is not appropriately sized, it will not fit into the active site i.e. the keyhole of the lock or enzyme and reaction will not take place. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

If 36.9 mL of B2H6 reacted with excess oxygen gas, determine the actual yield of B2O3 if the percent yield of B2O3 was 75.7%. (T

zhuklara [117]

Answer: The actual yield of $B_2O_3$ is 60.0 g

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical reaction :

$B_2H_6(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)$

Mass of $B_2H_6$ = $Density\times Volume=1.131g/ml\times 36.9ml=41.7g$

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} B_2H_6=\frac{41.7g}{27.668g/mol}=1.51moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $B_2H_6$ gives = 1 mole of $B_2O_3$

1.51 moles of $B_2H_6$ gives = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.51=1.51$ moles of $B_2O_3$

Theoretical yield of $B_2O_3=moles\times {Molar mass}}=1.14mol\times 69.62g/mol=79.3g$

Percent yield of $B_2O_3$ = $75.7\%$

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$75.7\%=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{79.3}\times 100$

${\text{Actual yield}}=60.0g$

Thus the actual yield of $B_2O_3$ is 60.0 g
