Question

Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by how much must an enzyme lower the activation energy of the reaction in order to achieve a 5×105-fold increase in the reaction rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

By the same amount

Explanation:

The activation energy and the rate of a reaction rate is closely related to each other. The higher is the activation energy, the lower will the rate of chemical reaction.

Thus, if rate is to be increased by 5×105-fold then the activation energy must be lowered by the same factor as these two entities are inversely proportional to each other

Answer 2

(8.314 J/molK)(310K)ln(3E5) = E-EcatE-Ecat 
=32504.22 J/mol = 32.504 KJ/mol (pay attention to any requirement on sig fig)
