Mistakes, 2nd row, bag 2 Flashcards
theoretical yield
the amount product that would be formed, if the limiting reactant were fully consumed
substrate, biology
the surface or material on which an organism lives, or from which it derives nourishment
substrate, biochemistry
a molecule on which an enzyme acts
catalyst (4)
(1) something that facilitates a chemical reaction and increases the rate of reaction
(2) but does not itself undergo permanent chemical change
(3) one example of this is an enzyme
(4) typically written as “in the presence of” or over the top of the yield arrow
complex reaction (4)
(1) aka multistep reaction (2) this has a multiple peaks on the energy profile (3) as well as a reaction mechanism; (4) a reaction that occurs in 2 or more elementary steps
intermediate (3)
(1) aka reaction intermediate (2) produced in one step of a reaction mechanism, and consumed in another step (3) when all reactants and products for a multistep are written down, these will cancel out
how things increase reaction rate
for surface area, concentration, and temperature, it is by increasing the rate of particle collisions
reaction mechanism
the sequence of elementary steps by which a multistep reaction occurs
(1) of a reaction or reaction step, the number of reactants (2) equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants
molecularity
order of a reaction (2)
(1) the extent to which the rate of reaction varies in proportion to the concentration of a particular reactant (2) this determines the exponent of that reactant in the rate law
induced-fit model, continued
perhaps some of these non-covalent interactions cause a shift in e- density at the active site which lower the activation energy and speed up the overall reaction
first order reaction
one in which the rate of reaction varies proportionally with the concentration of a reactant
active site (2)
(1) the part of an enzyme that the substrate binds to (2) this changes shape slightly when the substrate binds to it
enzyme (2)
(1) a biological catalyst that speeds up biochemical reactions in organisms, (2) often by orders of magnitude
pre-equilibrium approximation (3)
(1) used to find the rate law for a reaction with a fast and reversible initial step (2) set the rate law for the fast initial step equal to the rate law for the reverse of that step, and solve for intermediate, in terms of the reactants (3) this substitutes for intermediates, in the rate law, thus eliminating intermediates from the rate law
