Ch.14 - Chemical Kinetics
Chapter 14, Problem 82
The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ>mol. If an enzyme increases the rate of the hydrolysis reaction by a factor of 1 million, how much lower must the activation barrier be when sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme? (Assume that the frequency factors for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions are identical and a temperature of 25 °C.)
