During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amount of enzyme in the reaction, what will be the G for the new reaction?

-20 kcal/mol (It stays the same)

Explanation:

Enzymes will reduce the Gibbs free energy of activation, but will neither increase or decrease the free energy of reaction.

Enzymes means of activity is by decreasing the activation energy (Ea or ΔG✳) for a reaction. This in turn raises the reaction rate.

Free energy of reaction

= free energy of product - free energy of substrate

The free energy of the product remains constant even without the enzyme. Hence, the enzyme would show no effect on the free energy of the reaction.

The attached image shows the effect of changes in enzyme concentration on the free energy.

c. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
