Here we have to write a simple equation which describes the action of the enzyme catalase.
The equation is: The concentration of the complex [ES] =
Let us consider an enzyme catalyses reaction E + S ⇄ ES → E + P
Where E, S, ES and P are enzyme, substrate, complex and product respectively.
The concentration of the complex [ES] = , where
is the Michaelis constant.
[E]₀ and [S] is the initial concentration of enzyme and concentration of substrate respectively.

Explanation:
<u>1. Chemical balanced equation (given)</u>
<u>2. Mole ratio</u>
This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.
<u />
<u>3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base</u>
<u>4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted</u>
The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol
Convert moles to grams:
You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).
<u>5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample</u>
The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.
The formula is:
