Ch.14 - Chemical Kinetics
Chapter 14, Problem 86c
The enzyme urease catalyzes the reaction of urea, 1NH2CONH22, with water to produce carbon dioxide and ammonia. In water, without the enzyme, the reaction proceeds with a first-order rate constant of 4.15 * 10-5 s-1 at 100 C. In the presence of the enzyme in water, the reaction proceeds with a rate constant of 3.4 * 104 s-1 at 21 C. (c) In actuality, what would you expect for the rate of the catalyzed reaction at 100 C as compared to that at 21 C?
