Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The effect of catalyst on the activation energy on the reverse reaction when the activation energy of a forward reaction changes from
Concept Introduction:
Activation energy:
It is defined as the minimum energy required by the reacting species in order to undergo
The reaction having low activation energy has high
Activation energy can be represented as
Catalyst:
The catalyst is a chemical substance that increases the rate of the reaction without participating in the reaction by reducing the activation energy of the reaction.
When catalyst is added, it let the reaction to take place in different steps such that the activation energy decreases and makes the energy barrier small. This increases the rate of reaction.

- What is the net change in energy in the reaction shown (decrease, increase, or little change in energy) ? Is it spontaneous?arrow_forwardConsider the following chemical equation whose delta(G) = 9kcal/mol: AC + BD ---> AB + CD what are the reactants and what are the products is this reaction spontaneous? How do you know? Is energy released or consumed by this reaction? If an enzyme, which catalyzes this reaction is added, what will happen to delta (G) If this reaction is coupled to another reaction, whose delta(G) is -12 kcal/mol, what will be the net delta(G) value? will the overall reaction be spontaneousarrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: Glucose-1-phosphate → Glucose-6-phosphate ΔG° = −7.1 kJ/mol What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25oC?arrow_forward
- One enzyme-catalyzed reaction in a biochemical cycle has an equilibrium constant that is 10 times the equilibrium constant of a second reaction. If the standard Gibbs energy of the former reaction is -300 kJ/mol, what is the standard Gibbs energy of the second reaction?
