An enzyme-substrate system was studied in the lab under two different experimental conditions: with and without the presence of an inhibitor. Figure 1 shows the linear plots of the kinetic data obtained in the two experiments. ExpA Exp B - Linear (Exp A) y=0.0235x+0.1652 - Linear (Exp B) y=0.0146x+0.1665 Figure 1[S]/v vs [S] linear plots for the two enzymatic experiments. Based on Figure 1, calculate the maximum substrate consumption rate Vmax and the Michaelis-Menten constant KM for both experiments, and identify which of the two experiments contains the inhibitor. [10 marks] b) An industrial enzymatic reaction occurs in a continuous plug flow reactor. The reactor feed has a substrate concentration Csso=650mol3 and a constant volumetric flow rate of 1.5m3h1. The reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with substrate inhibition. The overall rate equation for the system is given by: v=KM,app+[S]vmax[S]whereKM,app=KM+KS1[S]2 Under these conditions, it was found that 94% of the initial substrate concentration is consumed in the reactor. Based on the information provided. calculate the volume of the reactor
