2) Show the two competing reaction mechanisms (SÃ1 and SÃ2) for the following reaction. OH OH A sulfonic acid: pka - 0 + Bu N CI The mechanism starts with an acid base reaction mediated by a sulfonic acid (RSO3H, pKa~ 0). Does this reagent act as a catalyst? Please explain. In addition, draw the reaction energy diagrams for both reaction mechanisms. Show activation energies, transition states, and the free energy of the reaction (delta G).

Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is Step 1: Fast, reversible HA = H+ + A- Step 2: Fast, reversible X + H+ = HX+ Step 3: Slow HX+ = productsWhich step controls the reaction rate?
Construct the expression for Kc for the following reaction. H:O(1) = H*(aq) + OH-(aq) 1 Drag the tiles into the numerator or denominator to form the expression. Each reaction participant must be represented by one tile. Do not combine terms. Ko RESET [H:O] 2[H:O] [H:O]? [H] 2[H*] [H*P [ОН] 2[OH] [OH]?
An uncatalyzed metabolic reaction has a rate constant of 2.7 x 10-4 M-¹ min-¹ at 310 K. In the presence of the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction the rate constant is 3.4 x 104 M-¹ min-¹ at the same temperature. If the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction is 93 kJ/mol, what is the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction? 48 kJ/mol none of the answers are correct 35 kJ/mol 45 kJ/mol
