Fuel injector is one of the crucial parts of the car engine system. The performance of the car is highly dependent on the functionality of a fuel injector. The fuel injector dispenses a fine spray of gasoline into the combustion chamber (engine). As the engine continue to operate over time, the fuel injector gets clogged, and the car performance will drop. By using your knowledge in chemical kinetics, explain how the performance of the car is highly dependent on the injector. You may support your answer with a relevant diagram.
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
