Two co-op students at your start-up company have been asked to evaluate the rate of reaction occurring in a transparent gel particle containing immobilized mouse melanoma cells. The equation for the reaction rate ris: 4. V max Km+CAs As where R=3.2 mm, vmax 0.12 gmol s' m³, Cas = 41 gmol m³, and Km=0.8 gmol m³. One student reports a reaction rate of 1.6x10° gmols'; the other reports 1.6x101° gmol st You left your calculator on the bus this morning, but must know quickly which student is correct. Use an order-of- magnitude calculation to identify the right answer. Which student is correct?
