Which of the following statements is FALSE about molecularity of kinetic reactions? a) Multimolecular reactions rarely occurs in enzyme kinetics. b) Unimolecular reactions are defined as First-order reactions. c) Bimolecular reaction rates double when the reactant concentration doubles. d) The half-life of the bimolecular reaction depends on the concentration of the reactant. e) When the amount of one of two starting reactants is very low, it becomes the rate limiting reactant.
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
Ethanol, C₂H5OH, is removed from the bloodstream by a series of metabolic reactions. The data below were determined for the rate at which ethanol was removed from the blood of Suzy Student.

Hypothetically, the reaction H2 + 2IC1→ I2+ 2HC1 is first order in [H2] and second order in [ICI]. Based on the first fast step given below and the fact that the second step is the slow step, propose a second-step mechanism, and show that it conforms to the experimentally determined reaction order. Assume that [I2] does not affect the reaction rate. H2 + 2ICI → I2 + 2HC1 Fast: 2ICI → I2 + 2Cl Slow:
Which of the following is an INCORRECT description about the below rate law expression? rate = k [A]m[B]n k stands for the rate constant, which can be affected by temperature only. n is the individual order with respect to B. In general n is the same as the coefficient of reactant B. m is the individual order with respect to A. In general m is an integer.
A certain enzymatic reaction is found to be zero ordeth respect to the substrate being converted. The rate constant for the reaction is found to be 540 M s-1. The initial concentration of the substrate is 0.350 M. When the reaction is 50% complete, what is the rate of the reaction at that point? Give your answer in M s1 but do not include units in your answer.
Given that the rate constant for the decomposition of hypothetical compound XX from part A is 1.60 M−1⋅min−1�−1⋅min−1, calculate the concentration of XX after 13.0 minmin .
For a drug to be effective in treating an illnens, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30. min. If a person receives an injecction of 21 mg of penicillin at t- 0, how much penicillin remains in the body after 3.0 hours? mg
