6. Catalase is an enzyme that promotes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The diffusion constant and radius for catalase are 6.0x10-7 cm² s1 and 5120 pm. For hydrogen peroxide the corresponding values are 1.5×10-5 cm² s1 and 200 pm. The viscosity of water at 25 °C is 0.89 mPa-s. The experimentally determined rate constant for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is 5.0x10° M-1 s. Is this a diffusion-controlled reaction at 25 °C? You must show your work.
