Question

Consider the hypothetical reaction plot of salivary α-amylase shown below:

a. Determine whether the plot describes substrate disappearance or product formation. Using Equation 5-2, express the rate of reaction described by the plot.
b. Based on the plot, determine the time interval at which the rate of reaction must be measured.

 

[C6H₁005]n (aq) (starch) + H₂O(1) a - amylase [C6H1005]n-1 -1 (aq) + C6H₁2O6 (aq) (glucose) Equation 5-2
