Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are 1. luciferin + O2 ⇌ oxyluciferin + light 2. ATP ⇌ AMP + PPi ΔG∘=-45.28 kJ/mol If the overall ΔG∘ of the coupled reaction is -8.03 kJ/mol , what is the standard free energy of the first reaction at 27∘C?

Which of the following happens during cell division? (a) energy is created (b) waste is eliminated (c) carbon dioxide is released (d) damaged cells are replaced

‘which reaction would most likely require the use of an inert electrode?

One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(ii) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. the sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(ii) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(ii) sulfate. scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: (s) (aq) (s) (aq) suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. he adds powdered iron to a copper(ii) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. he then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of .
