Ester synthesis catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) was investigated in solid/liquid biphasic media containing the enzyme preparation and reactants without addition of organic solvents not participating in the reaction. Although the effects of water on ...
What is the role of the law of conservation of mass in physics? Also explain the statement "The total starting mass off all reactants equals the total final mass of all products". What was the Thermidorian Reaction? What is a linear equation? What is the difference between analytical chemi...
This example problem demonstrates how to find theentropyof reaction fromstandard molar entropydata on thereactantsandproducts. Entropy is calculated as a change in the level of entropy before and after a chemical reaction. Essentially, it reflects whether the amount of disorder or randomness in the...
Studying life processes in molecular terms deeply appeals to me. I was fascinated by the importance of simple molecules, such as water molecule; playing its role as a biological solvent, reactant molecule and temperature regulator. Studying Biochemistry will enhance my interest in the structure and ...
In a chemical reaction, compounds react in a set ratio. If the ratio is unbalanced, there will be leftover reactant. To understand this, you need to be familiar with the molar ratio or mole ratio. Mole Ratio The molar ratio compares the number of moles in a balanced equation. ...
This is a temporary binding of the enzyme and the substrate which allows the enzyme to increase the rate of reaction. It's important to note (as seen in the equation above) that the catalase enzyme appears on both the reactant and the product sides of the equation. This is because ...
The calorimeter is filled with water and has an insulated jacket to avoid heat loss with the surroundings. The bomb calorimeter is where the reaction takes place. It is connected to a reactant gas supply, and an ignition unit which starts the reaction....

Water isotopes reflect the origin and evolution of the water as well as biogeochemical reactions, such as methanogenesis, that utilize water as a reactant source. Recent research has demonstrated that water from highly productive CBM wells typically have δD and δ18O values along or above the ...
ΔH for a reaction is equal to the sum of the heats of formation of the product compounds minus the sum of the heats of formation of the reactant compounds: ΔH = ΣΔHf products - ΣΔHf reactants Remember, the heat of formation of H+is zero. The equation becomes: ...
