Question

The rate of cellular reactions expressed as moles A disappearing/(m^3.s) is in the range of ____

(a) 10^-3-10^-4

(b) 10^2

(c) 0.1

(d) 10^9

I have been asked this question in class test.

My doubt is from Reaction Rates topic in portion Basic Concepts of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) 10^-3-10^-4

To elaborate: The cellular reactions in living organisms occur very slowly. Hence, the rate is of the order 10^-3-10^-4 moles disappearing/(m^3.s).
