What simple experiment can you perform to test the hypothesis that an enzyme is not used up during the reaction?
Add more of the reactants under appropriate reaction conditions. If more product is made, this shows that the reactants are the limiting component and not the enzyme.
Why aren't enzymes used up during a reaction?
It is not used up as it is a substance that the reactants can stick to, so there are more successful collisions (collision theory), increasing the rate of reaction; as opposed to reacting with the reactants.
What happens to a reaction as the reactant are used up?
The rate of the reaction slows down
What is the name given to a substances used in a chemical reaction?
A substance used in a chemical reaction can either be a reactant or catalyst. If it is undergoing the reaction, then it is a reactant. If it does not undergo the reaction and just changes the rate of reaction, then it is a catalyst.
Reactants and products?
The substances used up in a reaction are the reactants. The new substances made are called the products. The terms reactant and product can be used to describe constituents of individual enzymatic reactions or entire metabolic pathways. Reactants (or 'substrates') are the starting materials for a reaction, In the generic reaction shown below, A and B are the reactants. C and D are the products. http://www.marietta.edu/~spilatrs/biol103/photolab/reaction.html image reference
What happens to the reaction rate as the reactants get used up in the reaction?
The rate of the reaction begins to decrease as reactants are used up (apex)
What happens to the rate of reaction as the reaction progresses?
The rate decreases as reactants are used up.
What happens to the reaction rate as the reactions get used up in a reaction?
The rate of the reaction begins to decrease as reactants are used up (apex)
What do you call a substances used up in a reaction?
Reactants. Reactants react to produce products.
How is a catalyst different from the reactants and products of a chemical reaction?
Unlike reactants, catalysts are not used up during a reaction. They merely speed up the reaction (or allow it to proceed).
What are materials that are used up in the reaction called?
they are called reactants
What are the reactants and the products of the forward Left to right reaction?
Reactants- The substances used up in a reaction. Products- The new substances made.
Are products used up in a reaction?
No. Products are produced by a reaction. However, products may be used as reactants in a multi-step reaction.
What happens to the reaction rate as the reactants get used up in a reaction?
The rate of a reaction begins to decreases as reactant are used up
What are the reactants and products of the forward reaction?
The reactants are on the left side of the equation, and the products are on the right side of the equation. The reactants are used up in a chemical reaction, and the products are the substances made by the reaction.
Why is limiting reactants important in stoichiometry?
Limiting reactants are the reactants that are used up first. And once they are used up, they stop, or limit, the reaction. So the amount of product that can be produced depends on the limiting reactant. The other reactant, the one in excess, would predict a larger amount of product. But once we produce the amount of product predicted by the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is used up and the reaction stops.
What happens to a reaction as reactants are used up?
The rate of the reaction slows down
