Active sites in enzymes are where substrates bind. Once they bind, a catalytic reaction occurs as a complex between substrate and enzyme is formed. Enzymes are termed as biocatalysts or simply catalysts since they speed up the catalytic reaction. After the reaction, they simply revert back to their original form, after having adjusted to fit with substrate.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In H_2O , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl^- is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in H_2 is zero and in OH^- the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl_2 is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H

A science student wants to use distillation to separate a mixture of two
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Boiling point

Explanation:

Distillation is one of the most widely used separation technique in chemistry. It is used to separate a mixture of liquid substances with different boiling point. Hence, the basis of the separation is BOILING POINT DIFFERENCE.

In the procedure, the liquid substances are heated until they turn gaseous, which they do at different times considering their different boiling points. The separated components are then converted back to liquid states in a process called CONDENSATION.

Which pair of elements is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds, chlorine and chlorine or lithium and chlorine,
olya-2409 [2.1K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The pair of elements that is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds would be <span>lithium and chlorine. Lithium is metal and chlorine is nonmetal which as a compound forms ionic bonds. Hope this answers the question.</span>
