Enzyme catalysis are more effective and efficient than ordinary catalysis. Prove this statement. |
|
Answer» Solution : (i) Effective and EFFICIENT CONVERSION is the special charcteristic of ENZYME catalysed reactions. An enzyme MAY transform a million molecules of reactant to PRODUCT in a minute. For e.g. `2H_2O_2 to 2H_2O + O_2` (ii) For this reaction colloidal platinum as a catalyst the activation energy is 11.7k.cal/mole. But with the enzyme catalyst the activation energy of this reaction is less than 2k.cal/mole. |
