In a pilot plant making ammonia, NH3, 200 cm3 of nitrogen are mixed with 300 cm3 of hydrogen. What would be the final volume (at the same temperature and pressure) if complete reaction occurs?
A 200 cm3 B 250 cm3 C 300 cm3 D 400 cm3 Can anyone explain how this can be worked out without moles ? Cheers
I would think it's just that the rate of reaction is limited by the E.S --> E + P step (the step going from enzyme-substrate complex to the free enzyme and product) and at a certain concentration of substrate all of the enzyme is saturated so the increased number of collisions doesn't have an effect as there are no empty active sites.
This is all obviously assuming the enzyme doesn't begin to denature at these temperatures.
