Which of the following statements is (are) true about enzyme-catalyzed reactions? a. the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme. b. the free energy change is opposite from the reaction in the absence of the enzyme. c. the reaction always goes in the direction toward chemical equilibrium.

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Enzyme-catalyzed reaction :

Enzyme act as a biological catalyst and the role of catalyst is to increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Most of the chemical reactions are slow in the absence of enzyme but in the presence of enzyme, the reaction become faster. That means the Enzyme accelerate the rate of reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme.

the equation that correctly represent the reaction for formation of ammonia is

n2+ 3h2 → 2nh3 (answer d)

1 mole of nitrogen gas (n2) react with 3 moles of hydrogen gas (h2) to form 2 moles of ammonia ( nh3). this is in a process known as haber process were iron is used as a catalyst and reaction take place that a higher temperature and pressure. the process is exothermic hence energy is released.
