If the concentration of enzyme increases, then reaction should speed up (answer C).
enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy to provide an alternative pathway of reaction mechanism. assuming that enzyme which usually is the limiting factor, the increase of enzyme concentration should lead to more product formation i.e. maltose from the breakdown of starch.
the enzyme discussed here should be amylase.

higher temperature beyond optimum value enzyme found in our human body will usually least to denaturation of active site of enzyme. hence lead to loss of enzyme activity permanently.

Coefficients are used in a chemical formula to show the number of each element. True or False
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The same number of each element present before the reaction takes place must also be present on the product side of the equation. Coefficients are placed in front of a chemical formula to show the number of moles of that substances that are necessary for the reaction to occur.

The temperature at which the reaction is occurring is increased
svetlana [45]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

In the experiment involving hydrated copper sulfate, overheating causes a high calculated percent value for water. why is the hi
Strike441 [17]
The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.
