Concept explainers
Many biochemical reactions are catalyzed by acids. A typical mechanism consistent with the experimental results (in which HA is the acid and X is the reactant) is
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
- (a) Derive the rate law from this mechanism.
- (b) Determine the order of reaction with respect to HA.
- (c) Determine how doubling the concentration of HA would affect the
rate of the reaction.
