Which of the following are effects of catalyst that cause an increase in the rate of
reaction? (This is a multi-select question. Select all that apply).
a decrease in DG‡.
an increase in DG.
an increase in temperature.
an increase in the energy of the molecules/ions of reactant.
an increase in the number of molecules/ions of reactant with enough energy to
overcome the activation energy barrier.
In a transition state diagram, which of the following are features of the transition state (TS)? There
may be more than one correct answer, select all that apply.
The change in energy in ground state to the transition state represents the Gibbs Free Energy
If the reaction is reversible, the TS will only progress forward to form products
The TS occupies a trough
The TS is associated with the highest energy
The TS occupies the highest peak
this one represents an endothermic reaction. Things are similar: the flat line on
the left (beginning of the reaction) is the total energy possessed by the reactant
molecules; once again, kJ stands for energy in kiloJoules, thousands of Joules.
The flat line on the right (reaction complete) is the total energy of the products.
Since an endothermic reaction has a net absorption of energy (taking this extra
energy from the surroundings), the products have higher energy than the
reactants. Question: the energy of the reactant molecules is
kJ. [to
answer, simply identify the correct y-axis coordinate.]

- Which of the following aspects of catalysis by enzymes can NOT be explained by the Fischer Lock and Key Hypothesis? Enzymes will lower the activation energy barrier for reaction. Enzymes will specifically recognize their substrates. Appropriate substrates will bind to the enzyme to form a Michaelis complex. Enzymes have an "active site" where appropriate substrates will be bound. Two of the above cannot be explained by the Fischer "Lock and Key" Hypothesis.arrow_forwardConsider a reaction in which reactants X and Y combine to form the product Z.
