81. Suppose that a catalyst lowers the activation barrier of a reac- tion from 125 kJ/mol to 55 kJ/mol. By what factor would you expect the reaction rate to increase at 25 °C? (Assume that the frequency factors for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions are identical.)

The activation energy for a reaction is 84.0kJ/mol. Addition of a catalyst lowers the activationenergy by 15.0 kJ/mol. By what factor (k catalyzed/ k uncatalyzed) does the rate increase at 25

The activation barrier for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is 108 kJ/mol. If an enzyme increases the rate of the hydrolysis reaction by a factor of 1 million, how much lower does the activation barrier have to be when sucrose is in the active site of the enzyme? (Assume that the frequency factors for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions are identical and the temperature is 298 K .)
