An Enzyme Catalyzes the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide at 20°C

An enzyme catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at 20°C. The activation energy for the uncatalyzed reaction is 75.3 kJ/mol. The activation energy for the catalyzed reaction is 29.3 kJ/mol. By what factor is the rate of the reaction increased by the enzyme? Use the Arrhenius equation, which is given below, to determine the ratio of rate constants, k_catalyzed/k_uncatalyzed. (R = 8.315 J/mol K)

A) 1.6 *10⁵
B) 1.6 *10¹¹
C) 1.6 * 10⁸
D) 7.6
E) 6100
