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? A. +20 kcal/mol

B. -40 kcal/mol

C. -20 kcal/mol

D. -10 kcal/mol

Option-C

Explanation:

Delta G (△G) refers to the overall energy released during a chemical reaction when equilibrium is reached i.e the rate of conversion of product into the substrate is equal to the rate of conversion of substrate into product. Thus, △G accounts for the equilibrium of the reaction.

In the given question, it has been mentioned that △G of a reaction is -20 kcal/mol then how will it change if the amount of enzyme is doubled.  

The △G is not affected by the enzyme concentration as the presence of enzyme affects the G (Gibbs free energy) and activation energy.

Therefore, △G will remain the same even if the amount of enzyme is doubled i.e -20 kcal/mol will be the correct value.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
