16. An experiment was conducted for an enzyme catalyzed reaction and data was gathered in a table. In the experiment, the same amount of enzyme was used for each trial. The amount of substrate added, and the pH, were adjusted to see the impacts of concentration and pH on the ability for the enzyme to catalyze the reaction. Using the data table provided from the experiment (listed below), answer the following questions Amount of Substrate a. 2.0g 4.0g 6.0g 8.0g pH 3 18 24 55 55 pH 6 10 19 27 27 pH 9 35 78 92 92 pH 11 20 32 47 47 pH 13 3 10 18 18 Yield of products (number of products produced in the reaction) Looking at the data table, what was the optimum pH for this reaction? (What pH provided the highest yield of products?) b. What pH value generated the lowest yield of products? C. Briefly explain below, why was there no increase in the amount of product formed with 8.0g of substrate as compared to 6.0g of substrate? (If you are supplying more substrate, why are we not seeing more product?)

Question
16. An experiment was conducted for an enzyme catalyzed reaction and data was gathered in a
table. In the experiment, the same amount of enzyme was used for each trial. The amount of
substrate added, and the pH, were adjusted to see the impacts of concentration and pH on the
ability for the enzyme to catalyze the reaction.
Using the data table provided from the experiment (listed below), answer the following

Yield of products
(number of products
produced in the
reaction)
Looking at the data table, what was the optimum pH for this reaction?
(What pH provided the highest yield of products?)
What pH value generated the lowest yield of products?
Briefly explain below, why was there no increase in the amount of product formed with 8.0g
of substrate as compared to 6.0g of substrate? (If you are supplying more substrate, why
are we not seeing more product?)
d. What would you need to add to the reaction to see an increase in product production, with
8.0g of substrate?
