Question

Enzyme catalysis are more effective and efficient than ordinary catalysis. Prove this statement.

✓

Answer

1. Effective and efficient conversion ¡s the special chareteristic of enzyme catalysed reactions. An enzyme may transform a million molecules of reactant to product in a minute.
For e.g. $2 H _2 O _2 \rightarrow 2 H _2 O + O _2$
2. For this reaction colloidal platinum as a catalyst the activation energy is 11 .7 k.cal/mole. But with the enzyme catalyst the activation energy of this reaction is less than 2k.cal/mole.
