when an enzyme is exposed to conditions it is not made for, it will denature and loose its shape. THEY DONT DIE THOUGH! they cant die because enzymes are never alive, they are just proteins. i know this stuff cause im taking my Biology 2 exam in 2 weeks ;)

What happen to enzyme when it is placed with a concentrated acid?
Enzymes work well in pH 7. So when an enzyme is placed with a concentrated acid its ability to break down food molecules will be increased, thus breaking down the food better. This acid is produced by the stomach and is later neutralised by bile and made into an alkaline to be passed onto the smaller intestine, as it works best in alkaline conditions.
Is stomach acid an enzyme?
Stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid (HCl), is not an enzyme, because stomach acid is neither a protein nor a catalyst.
How does adding an acid to an enzyme reaction effect the enzyme?
it alters the pH of the enzyme denaturing it leaving it unable to carry out it's role effectively or at all
Why acid hydrolysis of sucrose avoided during experiment with enzyme invertase?
Enzyme hydrolysis is better than acid hydrolysis because in enzyme hydrolysis eventhough the final product may contain some Enzyme it wont affectbut on the other hand acid is highly toxic
Is enzyme an acid?
No. Enzymes are proteins.

What happens when timonacic acid is heated?
Timonacic acid is a benign antioxidant that is part of an Aldehyde group. Aldehyde is an organic preservative that breaks down into formaldehyde and releases the chemical into the air when heated.
