**Immobilized Enzyme Reactions**

Two enzymes are immobilized on the same flat, nonporous surface. For enzyme A, the substrate is \( S_1 \). For enzyme B, the substrate is \( S_2 \). The product of the first reaction is \( S_2 \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a sequential enzymatic reaction:

1. **Step 1**: 
   - Substrate \( S_1 \) is converted to \( S_2 \) by enzyme \( E_A \).
   - This is represented by an arrow pointing from \( S_1 \) to \( S_2 \) labeled \( E_A \).

2. **Step 2**: 
   - Substrate \( S_2 \) is then converted to product \( P \) by enzyme \( E_B \).
   - An arrow labeled \( E_B \) points from \( S_2 \) to \( P \).

This sequence demonstrates how multiple enzymes can work on a surface to transform substrates through a series of reactions, leading to the desired product \( P \).

### Reaction Rate Analysis and Calculation

#### Part (a)

**Figure Description:**
Figure 1 shows the reaction rate on a surface as a function of the local concentration of substrate \( S_1 \). The graph plots the reaction rate \( V \) (or flux \( J \)) in units of \( 10^6 \, \text{mg/cm}^2\cdot \text{s} \) against the concentration of \( S_1 \) in \( \text{mg/L} \).

- **Graph Details:**
  - The x-axis represents the concentration of \( S_1 \) ranging from 0 to 120 mg/L.
  - The y-axis represents the reaction rate, ranging from 0 to 4 \( \times 10^6 \, \text{mg/cm}^2\cdot \text{s} \).
  - The curve increases steeply at low \( S_1 \) concentrations and then levels off, indicating a saturation effect at higher concentrations.

**Problem Statement:**
- Bulk concentration of \( S_1 \): 100 mg/L
- Mass-transfer coefficient: \( 4 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{cm/s} \)

**Tasks:**
1. Calculate the rate of consumption of \( S_1 \) for a 1 cm\(^2\) surface.
2. Determine the surface concentration of \( S_1 \).

#### Part (b)

**Rate of the Second Reaction:**

The rate equation for the second reaction is given by:
\[
-\frac{d[S_2]}{dt} = \frac{d[P]}{dt} = \frac{V_m'' S_{2 \, \text{surface}}}{K_m + S_{2 \, \text{surface}}}
\]

**Given Data:**
- \( K_m = 5 \, \text{mg/L} \) (or \( 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mg/cm}^3 \))
- \( V_m'' = 4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{mg/cm}^2 \cdot \text{s} \)
- Bulk concentration of \( S_2 \): 5 mg/L
- Surface to bulk mass-transfer condition: Same mass-transfer coefficient as \( S_1 \)

**Tasks:**
1. Calculate
