Describe the energy changes that accompany changes of state.

A phase change converts one state to another. Energy is absorbed when a more organized state is converted to a less organized state. Thus, energy is absorbed when a solid melts to form a liquid, or when a liquid vaporizes to form a gas. Energy is released when a less organized state is converted to a more organized state. Thus, energy is released when a gas condenses to form a liquid, or a liquid freezes to form a solid. The heat of fusion is the energy needed to melt 1 g of a substance, while the heat of vaporization is the energy needed to vaporize 1 g of a substance.

What are the main structural features of enzymes?

Enzymes speed up reactions by bringing reactants together and reducing the activation energy required to start the reaction (enzymatic reaction). Enzymes are specific: they have a specific shape, therefore only a certain substrate will fit its active site. Enzymes are biological catalysts that greatly increase the rate of biological reactions and are highly specific for a substrate or a type of substrate. An enzyme binds a substrate at its active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex by either the lock and key model or the induced fit model. Enzyme inhibitors cause an enzyme to lose activity. Irreversible inhibition occurs when an inhibitor covalently binds the enzyme and permanently destroys its activity. Competitive reversible inhibition occurs when the inhibitor is structurally similar to the substrate and competes with it for occupation of the active site. Non Competitive reversible inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to a location other than the active site, altering the shape of the active site.

Draw the products of some common acid-base reactions.

In a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction with hydroxide bases (MOH), the acid HA donates a proton to OH- to form H2O. The anion from the acid HA combines with the cation M+ of the base to form the salt MA. This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.

Conjugate meaning in Bronsted-Lowry

In the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, the term conjugate refers to an acid and base that differ from each other by a proton. When an acid and base react, the acid forms its conjugate base while the base forms it conjugate acid: acid + base ⇆ conjugate base + conjugate acid For an acid HA, the equation is written: HA + B ⇆ A- + HB+ The reaction arrow points both left and right because the reaction at equilibrium occurs in both the forward direction to form products and the reverse direction to convert products back into reactants. The acid loses a proton to become its conjugate base A- as the base B accepts a proton to become its conjugate acid HB+
