Accepted Answer

Plug flow reactor (PFR)

Question 8

In the Michaelis-Menten model for enzyme kinetics, what does the parameter $$K_m$$ represent?

Accepted Answer

The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half its maximum

Question 9

A reaction is found to be first order in A and zero order in B. What is the correct rate law?

Accepted Answer

$$rate = k[A]$$

Question 10

Which statement best describes the effect of increasing temperature on the rate constant $$k$$?

Accepted Answer

The rate constant $$k$$ increases

Question 11

For the reaction $$A + B \rightarrow C$$, the initial rate method gives the following data: doubling $$[A]$$ doubles the rate, doubling $$[B]$$ quadruples the rate. What is the correct rate law?

Accepted Answer

$$rate = k[A][B]^2$$

Question 12

In a biological system, the Monod model describes microbial growth as $$\mu = \frac{\mu_{max} S}{K_s + S}. $$What happens to the growth rate $$\mu as $$substrate concentration $$S$$ becomes very large?

Accepted Answer

$$\mu$$ approaches $$\mu_{max}$$

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct statement about the stoichiometric coefficients in a reaction rate expression?

Accepted Answer

$$3.0 	imes 10^2$ \ mol \cdot L$$^{-1}$$ \cdot s$$^{-1}$$

Question 16

Which of the following best explains why the concentration of reactants decreases exponentially over time in a first-order reaction?

Accepted Answer

Because the rate is proportional to the concentration

Question 17

In a reaction with autokatalysis, what is the effect of the product on the reaction rate?

Accepted Answer
