Question

What is represented in the plot?

(a) Variation in the apparent equilibrium constants of a one-substrate one-product reaction

(b) Variation in the apparent equilibrium constants of a two-substrate two-product reaction

(c) Variation in the apparent equilibrium constant and percentage yield

(d) pH dependence on apparent equilibrium constant

I had been asked this question in homework.

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) Variation in the apparent equilibrium constant and percentage yield

Best explanation: In the plot, variation in the apparent equilibrium constant and percentage yield is represented which is semi-logarithmic plot. This plot is portrayed for a reaction of synthesizing N-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine ethyl ester by the action of chymotrypsin on N-Benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and ethyl alcohol in a biphasic chloroform-water system (pH 7). Straight red line represents apparent equilibrium constant, whereas red dotted line represents % yield.
