The rate of the reaction slows down

∙ 14y agoAn enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction. Therefore, once an enzyme has carried out it's function, it moves onto the next reaction. For example, the enzyme maltase speeds up the synthesis of maltose from two glucose molecules. Once the enzyme has carried out the synthesis of maltose, it then moves onto another glucose to maltose reaction. Enzymes do not "wear out."

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 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 the reaction as a reactant gets used up?
It slows and then stops.
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?

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.

But once we produce the amount of product predicted by the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is used up and the reaction stops.
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.
