During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a ∆G of -20 kcal/mol. If you double the amount of enzyme in the reaction, what will be the ∆G for the new reaction?
A) -40 kcal/mol
B) -20 kcal/mol
C) -10 kcal/mol
D) +20 kcal/mol

Enzymes do not change the ∆G for a reaction, they only lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Therefore, doubling the amount of enzyme does not change the ∆G value.
