Refer to the chemical reaction below. aA + bB → cC You set up this reaction and run it under four sets of conditions: 1) At room temperature in the absence of the proper enzyme, 2) at 100°C in the absence of the proper enzyme, 3) at room temperature with the proper enzyme, and 4) at 100°C with the proper enzyme. Under which set of conditions would you expect the reaction rate to be the fastest? 100°C plus enzyme 100°C minus enzyme RT plus enzyme RT minus enzyme

Generally, increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, which can lead to a higher reaction rate due to more frequent and energetic collisions. Show more…

14. When you tested enzyme activity at 0, 22 and 37C you determined that the enzyme had the fastest rate of reaction at 37C. How do you know? Group of answer choices A) When added to stop solution, the 37C reaction was more yellow than the others B) Reaction gradually turned more yellow than the others C) Reaction at 37C changed pH the most D) When added to stop solution, the 37C reaction was less yellow than the others
