Answer:
E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Given that:
The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol,
Let the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction = E₁
E₁ = ??? (unknown)
Let the activation energy for an uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = E₂
E₂ = 50.0 kJ/mol
= 50,000 J/mol
Temperature (T) = 37°C
= (37+273.15)K
= 310.15K
Rate constant (R) = 8.314 J/mol/k
Also, let the constant rate for the catalyzed biochemical reaction = K₁
let the constant rate for the uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = K₂
If the rate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 3.50 × 10³ as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction, That implies that:
K₁ = 3.50 × 10³
K₂ = 1
Now, to calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction going by the following above parameter;
we can use the formula for Arrhenius equation;
If &
E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol
∴ the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction (E₁) = 28.96 kJ/mol
Answer : The correct option is, (D)
Explanation :
(A)
This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.
(B)
This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.
(C)
This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.
(D)
This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.
Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.
In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).
Hence, the correct option is, (D)
