Solution

To determine which reaction happened at a faster rate, we need to calculate the rate of each reaction. The rate of a reaction is typically measured in terms of the amount of reactant consumed or the amount of product formed per unit time.

  1. For reaction 1: The amount of reactant converted is 12g and the time taken is 30 seconds. So, the rate of reaction 1 = Amount of reactant / Time = 12g / 30s = 0.4 g/s

  2. For reaction 2: The amount of reactant converted is 200g and the time taken is 8 minutes. But we need to convert this time to seconds to match the units of reaction 1. 1 minute = 60 seconds, so 8 minutes = 480 seconds. So, the rate of reaction 2 = Amount of reactant / Time = 200g / 480s = 0.4167 g/s

Comparing the two rates, reaction 2 happened at a faster rate (0.4167 g/s) than reaction 1 (0.4 g/s).

An enzyme-catalyzed reaction was carried out with the substrate concentration initially a thousand times greater than the Km for that substrate. After 21 seconds, 1% of the substrate had been converted to product, and the amount of product formed in the reaction mixture was 12 mmol. If, in a separate experiment, 1/2 times as much enzyme was used. How long (sec) would it take for the same amount (12 mmol) of product to be formed?
