Which statement best describes the amount of catalyst that remains at the end of a reaction?

A
More catalyst is present at the end than at the beginning of the reaction.
B
Less catalyst is present at the end than at the beginning of the reaction.
C
The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction.
D
The catalyst is consumed by the reaction, so none remains at the end of the reaction.

Lactase and carbonic anhydrase are examples of what type of substance?

A
substrate
B
reactant
C
product
D
enzyme
3

Which statement correctly describes a chemical reaction?

A
Reactants come out of a reaction.
B
Energy is always released.
C
Bonds between atoms break and reform.
D
Products go into a reaction.

A student wants to create a liquid volcano. The student observes bubbles in the soft drink prior to opening it. The student first proceeds to open the soft drink bottle and place it on the floor.Next the student drops candy tablets into the drink at a continuous pace. The student notices a very powerful reaction in which the candies, still intact, are pushed out of the soda as the drink fizzes and starts to bubble.In this scenario, what would be the catalyst?

A
The candy tablets being added to the drink.
B
The gasses being released when the drink was first opened.
C
The liquid in the container.
D
The container that holds the liquid.

Which component is released from the active site of an enzyme during a chemical reaction?

A
reactant
B
product
C
substrate
D
protein

A researcher is designing a laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of a reaction between two colored liquids, X and Y. When the reaction is complete, the liquid is clear. The reaction between X and Y is similar to one used by manufacturers to produce certain chemicals in factories.Which method would best answer his question about reaction rate and what will he find out about substance A?

A
First, he should measure the final temperature of the liquid when X and Y react without substance A. Then, he should measure the final temperature when he adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst.
B
First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is a catalyst.
C
First, he should measure the final temperature of the liquid when X and Y react without substance A. Then, he should measure the final temperature when he adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is an enzyme.
D
First, he should measure how long it takes for the liquid to become clear if X and Y are mixed together. Then, he should measure how long it takes if he also adds substance A to X and Y. He will find out if substance A is an enzyme.

Which statement best describes how a catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction?

A
The catalyst decreases the activation energy needed.
B
The catalyst increases the concentration of products.
C
The catalyst binds to enzymes to release substrates.
D
The catalyst increases the concentration of reactants.
8

Which term describes an enzyme?

A
substrate
B
reactant
C
catalyst
D
product
9

A substance that influences the reaction but does not participate in the reaction is a

A
catalyst
B
reactant
C
product
D
substrate
10

What must happen before a chemical reaction can begin?

A
The activation energy must be exceeded.
B
The activation energy must be reached.
C
The concentrations of products and reactants must be equal.
D
The concentration of reactant molecules must be reduced.
