Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
I thank that your answer is C.
<span>Pass the mixture through filter paper. The large particles in the suspension will filter out. to tell the difference between a solution and a colloid, shine a beam of light through the mixture, if it reflects then it is a colloid, if it doesn't then it is a solution</span>
Answer:
There are millions of organic compounds but only thousands of inorganic compounds because:
a. organic compounds were formed by living things.
b. there is more carbon on Earth's surface than any other element.
c. atoms of elements other than carbon never combine with themselves.
d. carbon atoms can combine with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.
Answer:
c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water
Explanation:
A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.
