Question: Which of the following is taken as an assumption in the distributed model?
[A].

The reaction occurs at every position and the kinetics of the reaction are of the same form as observed for free enzyme.

[B].

Mass transfer through the immobilized enzyme occurs via molecular diffusion

[C].

There is no mass transfer limitation at the outside surface of the spherical immobilized enzyme

To measure the extent to which the reaction rate is lowered because of resistance to mass transfer, the effectiveness factor of an immobilized enzyme, η can be defined as

Question: To measure the extent to which the reaction rate is lowered because of resistance to mass transfer, the effectiveness factor of an immobilized enzyme, η can be defined as
[A].

reaction rate/rate if not slowed by diffusion

[B].

rate if not slowed by diffusion/ reaction rate

[C].

actual reaction rate/ rate if not slowed by diffusion

[D].

rate if not slowed by diffusion/ actual reaction rate

Answer: Option C

If Damkohler number, NDa >>1, the reaction rate is much greater than the mass transfer rate and the overall reaction is controlled by the rate of mass transfer. In this case, the enzyme reaction can be described as (where Csb and Cs are the substrate concentration in bulk of solution and at the immobilized enzyme surface respectively. ks mass transfer coefficient, and a is the surface area of an immobilized enzyme particles)

[A].

rp = ksa(Csb-Cs)

[B].

rp = ksaCsb

[C].

rp = ksaCs

[D].

rp = ksa(Csb+Cs)
