The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2. There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C

Trava [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into gas water and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are (E)-4-methylpent-2-ene and cyclohexene with boiling points of 59.2 ºC and 89 ºC respectively. The boiling point of water is 100 ºC, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.

See figure 1

Once an enzymatic reaction is completed, the enzyme releases what?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Once an enzymatic reaction is completed, the enzyme releases substrates.

Explanation:

The enzyme will always return to its original state at the completion of the reaction. One of the important properties of enzymes is that they remain ultimately unchanged by the reactions they catalyze. After an enzyme is done catalyzing a reaction, it releases its products (substrates).
