Question

This quantity for a chemical equals its “generation minus consumption” term in a mole balance. Langmuir–Hinshelwood theory assumes this quantity equals the number of occupied adsorbent sites times turnover number. If “one over this quantity” is plotted against (20[1])“one over concentration,” (20[3])the (20[1])x-intercept (20[1])is (20[1])“minus one (20[1])over the Michaelis constant.” This (20[1])quantity times the (20[1])stoichiometric coefficient (20[1])equals the (*) time derivative of molarity in the “differential” form of its empirical law. (10[2])This (10[1])quantity plateaus at V-max as the concentration (10[2])of substrate increases. (10[1])This (10[1])quantity (10[1])equals a constant k times (10[3])concentration to the n for an nth-order (10[1])reaction. (10[1])For 10 points, catalysts increase what property (10[2])of a chemical reaction? (10[2])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: reaction rate [accept product accumulation or reactant disappearance; accept enzyme or catalytic velocity until V-max is read and prompt on it afterward; prompt on speed; prompt on r; prompt on v or v-max until it is read; prompt on rate constant or k]
