You are working with a specific enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the lab. You are a very careful experimentalist, and as a result, a
t the beginning of each of your experiments, you measure the temperature in the lab. On days 1 through 5, the temperature in the lab was 20oC. Today is day 6 of your experiment, and the temperature in the lab is 30oC. How do you predict that this will alter the rate of your enzyme-catalyzed reaction? A. It will decrease the rateB. It will increase the rateC. It could possibly increase or decrease the rateD. it will not affect the rate
In this experiment, the rate of the reaction will increase with increase in temperature. Since enzymes are chemical catalysts that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions, one must know that a high temperature favors the rate of chemical reaction.
At a high temperature, the catalyst action of the enzyme will increase rapidly.
Caution must be taken because at extremely high temperatures, the enzymes can become denatured.
The answer is atomic radii; the size or radii of an atom increases from left to right, versus the ionization energies and electronegativities of atoms which increase from right to left.
