The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyses the hydration of `CO_(2)`. This reaction: `CO_(2) + H_(2) to H_(2)CO_(3)`, is involved in the transfer of `CO_(2)` from tissues to the lungs via the bloodstream. One enzyme molecule hydrates `10^6` molecules of `CO_2` per second. How many kg of `CO_2` are hydrated in one hour in one litre by `1 xx 10^(-6)` M enzyme?
