They act as catalysts

There are 2 correct options for this problem.

1) They only speed up the chemical reactions. : True

Enzymes are biological catalysts. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction. When a reaction needs less energy to start, it occurs at a faster rate.

Many biological reactions that occur in our body are occurring at body temperature. The reactions would become very slow at this temperature . Therefore enzymes act a catalyst to speed up these reactions.

2) They act as catalysts, each for one specific reaction. : True

This option is true because as discussed above, enzymes are catalyst and their job is to speed up a chemical reaction. Enzymes have active sites where a particular substrate can bind during the reaction. Therefore a given enzyme acts a catalyst for a specific reaction only.

Na2CrO4 + PbCL2<br> Formula in double replacement
Marta_Voda [28]

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a double displacement reaction, the reactants which are involved in the reaction exchanging their ions thereby produces 2 new compounds. Here sodium chromate and lead chloride are undergoing double displacement reaction, the ions exchanges their position there by forming sodium chloride and lead chromate. So the double displacement reaction is given as,

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl
