The energy of activation of an uncatalyzed reaction is 60kJ/mol. The energy of activation is reduced to 25 kJ/mol for theenzyme catalyzed reaction. Please calculate the rate constant ofthe catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions. How many folds of rateenhancement are produced by the enzyme? The rate constant is 13.46but what is the nuber of folds of enhancement that are produced bythe enzyme??

The enzyme urease catalyzes the reaction of urea, (NH₂CONH₂), with water to produce carbon dioxide and ammonia. In water, without the enzyme, the reaction proceeds with a first-order rate constant of 4.15 × 10^-5 s^-1 at 100 °C. In the presence of the enzyme in water, the reaction proceeds with a rate constant of 3.4 × 10⁴ s^-1 at 21 °C. (a) Write out the balanced equation for the reaction catalyzed by urease. (b) If the rate of the catalyzed reaction were the same at 100 °C as it is at 21 °C, what would be the difference in the activation energy between the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions? (c) In actuality, what would you expect for the rate of the catalyzed reaction at 100 °C as compared to that at 21 °C? (d) On the basis of parts (c) and (d), what can you conclude about the difference in activation energies for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions?

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the rate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 2.50 x 10³ as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction. Assuming the frequency factor A is the same for both the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions, calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction.
