Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) has one potassium atom bonded to carbon, and that carbon is also bonded to three oxygens. Their elec

tronegativities are shown in the list:
K 0.82
C 2.55
O 3.44
How would you describe the bonds (K-C and C-O) in this molecule?
A: K-C is polar covalent, and C-O is nonpolar covalent.
B: K-C is ionic, and C-O is nonpolar covalent.
C: K-C is ionic, and C-O is polar covalent.
D: K-C is polar covalent, and C-O is polar covalent.

Answer:

I'm not all the way sure but I think it is C

Explanation:

The reason is because an ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond. Also, the C-O I think is polar since it is evenly distributed.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: h2 → h h what occurs during this reaction? 1. energy is absorbed as bonds a
larisa [96]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 2. From the balanced equation, the energy is absorbed as the bonds are broken. Energy is needed to be supplied for the bonds to be broken.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which statement describes the reaction involved in cellular respiration?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

i think its b

Explanation:

if you removed the C02 from the atmosphere that

willl make the 02 and it will

released for the atmosphere

which means, Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2. Respiration takes O2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with CO2. However, these processes are not in balance. Not all organic matter is oxidized.   photosynthesis mean if you dont know: Photosynthesis – plants produce their own food in the form of glucose using the process of photosynthesis. This process uses sunlight (and so only occurs during the day) to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen.

this is why the CO2 is removed and the 02 is released into the atmosphere,   Consumers such as animals, fungi, and bacteria get their energy from this excess biomass either while living or dead and decaying. Oxygen from the atmosphere is combined with carbohydrates to liberate the stored energy. ... Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.

and if the CO2 is release from the atmosphere this will happen --> Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. ... Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating CO2 effects the wither,   Scientists say that if CO2 doubles, it could raise the average global temperature of the Earth between two and five degrees Celsius. We are already increasing the amount of energy that bounces back to the Earth. Because of the greenhouse effect, this is causing global warming with its many destructive impacts.     im sorry that i gave alot of facts my teacher said its good to add alot of facts some of my thoughts thank you i hope you get this right :)

Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.

b)  In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
