Study 1. Six flasks of the same enzyme preparation were each run for 13 minutes. Unless otherwise noted, every trial was held at 25 degrees C and at pH 7.0. Trial 5 was instead held at 43 degrees C, and Trial 6 was instead held at pH 5.0. Table 1 lists only the product yields. At what temperature, in degrees C, was Trial 3 run?
