NEET Zoology (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
If the rate of an uncatalysed hydrolysis reaction at 20°C is 0.5 mol/s, what would be the rate of the same reaction catalysed by an enzyme at the same temperature, assuming the catalysed rate is 100 times faster than the uncatalysed rate?
A
50 mol/s
B
5 mol/s
C
10 mol/s
D
0.5 mol/s
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the context, enzyme-catalysed reactions proceed at rates vastly higher than uncatalysed ones. If the catalysed reaction is 100 times faster, the rate would be 0.5 mol/s * 100 = 50 mol/s.
