A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.
Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).
For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.
Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:
Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn
=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol
Answer: 47 kJ/mol
Answer:
Is better use the Benedict's test by the increase in the amount of the products if the enzyme is a reductase
Explanation:
The Benedict's test works by the reaction of the reducing sugars with the ion cupric of the reactive. If the enzyme is a reductase (degrades polysaccharides into bi o monosaccharides), it should cut the polysaccharide bond and the products would react with the Benedict's cupric ion
