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.

list down some examples of solutions that we need to prepare/make in the form of unsaturated and saturated solution​
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

1)Carbonated water is saturated with carbon, hence it gives off carbon through bubbles.

2)Adding sugar to water until it no longer dissolves creates a saturated solution.

3)Continuing to dissolve salt in water until it will no longer dissolve creates a saturated solution.

An unsaturated tea and sugar solution would be one into which you could add more sugar and have the sugar still dissolve

Use enthalpies of formation given in appendix c to calculate δh for the reaction br2(g)→2br(g), and use this value to estimate t
Contact [7]

Given reaction represents dissociation of bromine gas to form bromine atoms

Br2(g) ↔ 2Br(g)

The enthalpy of the above reaction is given as:

ΔH = ∑n(products)ΔH^{0}f(products) - ∑n(reactants)ΔH^{0}f(reactants)

where n = number of moles

ΔH^{0}f= enthalpy of formation

ΔH = [2*ΔH(Br(g)) - ΔH(Br2(g))] = 2*111.9 - 30.9 = 192.9 kJ/mol

Thus, enthalpy of dissociation is the bond energy of Br-Br = 192.9 kJ/mol
