    The rate of a certain biochemical reaction at physiological temperature (T) occurs 106 times faster with enzyme than without. The change in the activation energy upon adding enzyme is [JEE MAIN Held On 08-01-2020 Morning]

    A) - 6RT   

    B) + 6RT

    C) + 6(2.303) RT

    D) - 6(2.303) RT

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The rate constant of a reaction is given by \[k=A{{e}^{-{{E}_{a}}/RT}}\] The rate constant in presence of catalyst is Given by \[k'=A{{e}^{-E{{'}_{a}}/RT}}\] \[\frac{k'}{k}={{e}^{-(E{{'}_{a}}-{{E}_{a}}/RT}}\] \[{{10}^{6}}={{e}^{-(E{{'}_{a}}-{{E}_{a}})/RT}}\] ln \[{{10}^{6}}=-\frac{(E{{'}_{a}}-{{E}_{a}})}{RT}\] \[E{{'}_{a}}-{{E}_{a}}=-6(2.303)RT\]
