Question

What happens to a reaction's rate when there are increasing amounts of reactant added?

Question 2 options:

Chemical reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but enzyme catalyzed reactions will reach a maximum rate.

Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will continue to increase linearly.

Enzyme catalyzed reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but chemical reactions will reach a maximum rate.

Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will reach a maximum rate.

A)

Chemical reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but enzyme catalyzed reactions will reach a maximum rate.

B)

Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will continue to increase linearly.

C)

Enzyme catalyzed reaction rates continue to increase linearly, but chemical reactions will reach a maximum rate.

D)

Both chemical reaction rates and enzyme catalyzed reaction rates will reach a maximum rate.

Explanation / Answer

The rate of reaction -r= K[Concentration]n, n is the order of reaction

with increasing concentration for reactions n>0, with increased concentration, the rate constant increases

For Enzyme based reaction, the rate V= Vmax[S]/(KM+S)

With increased substrate concentrations S> KM and V=Vmax and hence the rate reaches maximum ( A is the correct answer)
