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.

Answer:

See Explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.

In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.

The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

umka21 [38]

Well the width is 0.20 meters. Since there are a hundred centimeters in a meter, we just have to move the decimal point two times to the right to get a 20 centimeter width.
