question 47

Multiple Choice

The steady state assumption states that if
K₁ = the rate constant for ES formation

K₃ = the rate constant for product formation

• A) k₂ is highly negligible compared with k₃
• B) The rate of formation of ES is equal to the rate of its degradation over the course of the reaction.
• C) The rate of formation of ES exceeds the rate of degradation over the course of the reaction.
• D) k₃ is negligible when compared to k₂.
• E) Product concentration at the beginning of the reaction is low.
