Q.

Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts. An enzyme catalyst increases the rate of decomposition of H2O2(aq) into H2O(l) and O2(g) by e20 times at 300K The activation energy of enzyme catalysed reaction is 2.0 kcal/mol. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

 [Assume that the pre-exponential factor is not affected by temperature change and catalyst, activation energy is independent of temperature]
