In the lab, a group of students is carrying out the reaction described and graphed in the previous question, but it is not proceeding. One student suggests heating it up to make it proceed more rapidly. Another student suggests adding an enzyme to the reaction instead. They try both and find that heating speeds up the reaction, and adding an enzyme also speeds up the reaction. A) How does heating the reaction in a test tube cause the reaction to occur at a higher rate? B) How does adding an enzyme enable the reaction to occur at a faster rate?

What is the purpose of using excess alcohol in a Fischer Esterification? 1) Using excess alcohol pushes the equilibrium reaction to the left, increasing the production of isopentyl acetate via Le Chatelier's principle. 2) Using excess alcohol pushes the equilibrium reaction to the right, decreasing the production of isopentyl acetate via Le Chatelier's principle. 3) Using excess alcohol pushes the equilibrium reaction to the left, decreasing the production of isopentyl acetate via Le Chatelier's principle. 4) Using excess alcohol pushes the equilibrium reaction to the right, increasing the production of isopentyl acetate via Le Chatelier's principle.
