Answer:
The initial rate of the reaction between substances P and Q was measured in a series of
experiments and the following rate equation was deduced.
Complete the table of data below for the reaction between P and Q
Explanation:
Given rate of the reaction is:
Substitute the given values in this formulae to get the [P], [Q] and rate values.
From the first row,
the value of k can be calulated:

In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form <em>citrate </em>with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form<em> isocitrate. </em>The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the <em>intermediate product</em> of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid <em>α-cetoglutarate. </em>Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to <em>COO-</em> . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.
In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.
