The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is close to 400 ppm (398.03). The concentration of O2 in the atmosphere is about 21%. At average temperatures the ratio of Rubisco carboxylase to oxygenase reactions is about 7:2 The Km of the Rubisco active site:
is much smaller for CO2 than for O2
is slightly smaller O2 than CO2
is about the same for CO2 than for O2
is much smaller for O2 than CO2
is slighly smaller for CO2 and O2
The answer is "is much smaller for CO2 than for O2".
explanation
According to the general gas equation, PV = nRT,
Km (Michaelis constant) value is directly proportional to the volume.
Km value is inversely proportional to the temperature.
hope the answer helps.

1) By volume, the atmosphere consists of 78% N2, 21% O2, 1%40Ar and about 400 ppm CO2 a) What is the mean molecular weight of air? Round the answer to three significant figures. b) The total mass of the atmosphere is about 5·1018Kg. How many moles of air does it contain? c) How many moles of O2 and CO2 are present? d) Forests and soils contain roughly 2160 Giga ton of Carbon in the form of wood, leaves, and hummus....
Step 1: If CO2 in oceans were to rise from 300 ppm to 400 ppm (parts per million - I get a conversion here of 6.8 mM to 9.1 mM) and oceans represent a volume of 1.335 X 1021 L, how many moles of CO2 is that in the ocean for 300ppm (6.8 mM) and for 400ppm (9.1mM)? Step 2: We often talk in "billions of barrels of oil" when we discuss yearly consumption rates. Assuming that a billion barrels...

For the preparation and standardization of NaOH with KHP im supposed to boil water for 1hr and 30 min to remove CO2....the problem is that if I don't boil it for that long and (30 min) b/c of not enough time but I put the water I boiled for 1/2 hr aproximately into a NaOH bottle with a CO2 absorber and stored it there for a few days. I would assume that I would have to boil the water again...but...
Exercise 5: I was changing 34 around too much that I just made it a separate exercise. Suppose 310. grams of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is in an aluminum cup of 90.0 grams. Both of these are at 30.0C. A mass m of ice at - 8.5C is taken from a freezer and added to the alcohol in the cup. The final temperature of all the components is 18.0C. Assuming no heat was lost from the system, calculate the mass m...
