Answer: Every enzyme has a specific name that can give us insight into the specific reaction that that enzyme can catalyze. We divide them into six different categories.
1) Oxidoreductase - includes two different types of reactions by transferring electrons from either molecule A to B or vice versa. It is involved in oxidizing electrons away from a molecule.
2) Hydrolase - uses water to divide a molecule into two other molecules.
3) Transferase - you move some functional group X from molecule B to molecule A
4) Ligase - catalyzes reactions between two molecules, A and B, that are combining to form a complex between the two. (example: DNA replication)
5) Lyase - divides a molecule into two other molecules without using water and without reducing or oxidation
The given reaction is:
C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
The above equation is not balanced due to the unequal distribution of atoms on either side of equation
# atoms Reactants # atoms products
C = 4 C = 1
H = 10 H = 2
O = 2 O = 3
In order to balance it, multiply C4H10 by 2, O2 by 13, CO2 by 8 and H2O by 10 to get:
2C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
