- 4. A) The enzyme urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The uncatalyzed reaction has an activation energy of 125 kJ/mol. The enzyme catalyzes a mechanism that has an activation energy of 46 kJ/mol. By what factor does urease increase the rate of urea hydrolysis at 21 celsius? B) True or False: A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by changing the mechanism of the reaction such that there is a different rate law for the reaction when a catalyst is present. C) True or False: A catalyst increases the equilibrium constant of a reaction and therefore makes the products more favored. D) True or False: In order for a catalyst to function it must exist in the same phase as the substrate.arrow_forwardDraw an energy diagram for a reaction in which the products are higher in energy than the starting materials and Ea is large.

Draw an energy profile diagram of an exothermic reaction and show the reaction pathway both with and without a catalyst present.arrow_forward(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step. Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.arrow_forward
