Sucrose (C12H22O11), which is commonly known as table sugar, reacts in dilute acid solutions to form two simpler sugars, glucose and fructose, both of which have the formula CoH12Oo. At 23 °C and in 0.5 M HCI, the following data were obtained for the disappearance of sucrose Time (min) C₁₂H₂O₁1 (M) 0.316 0.274 0.238 39 80 140 210 0.100 0.148 ▾ Part A Is the reaction first order or second order with respect to (C12H22011]? first second Part B k= Previous Answere ✓ Correct Upon graphing a plot of the In (C₁₂H₂2O₁1] versus time, the fit is linear, so the reaction is first order. A second-order reaction would generate a linear plot of the reciprocal of the concentration versus time. What is the rate constant?

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.
