27.4. Carbohydrate A decomposes in the presence of enzyme E. We also suspect that carbohydrate B in some way influences this decomposition. To study this phenomenon various concentrations of A,B, and E flow into and out of a mixed flow reactor (V=240cm3). (a) From the following data find a rate equation for the decomposition. (b) What can you say about the role of B in the decomposition? (c) Can you suggest a mechanism for this reaction? 27.5. Enzyme E catalyzes the decomposition of substrate A. To see whether substance B acts as inhibitor we make two kinetic runs in a batch reactor, one with B present, the other without B. From the data recorded below (a) Find a rate equation to represent the decomposition of A. (b) What is the role of B in this decomposition? (c) Suggest a mechanism for the reaction
