If two different reactions are carried out at the same temperature and the activation energy for both is also same, then will the rates of these reactions also be the same?
Answer
The rate of these reactions cannot be same because the rate constant also depends on pre-exponential factor (A), which is different for different reactions.
The minimum energy required for a reactant to be converted in to a product is called threshold energy. Threshold energy = Energy of normal molecule + Activation energy
In which situation will any biomolecular reaction be of first order?
Answer
In a binary reaction, if any one reactant is taken in excess, the reaction will be of first order because the rate of the reaction will not depend on the concentration of this reactant.
